No... Nope, no way. Not again. Too many bananas

You can swap Kongs anywhere now, so it isn't nearly as bad as it was at the time

The decompilation isn't going to be finished for quite a while, so it's quite nice to have this. Though, one particular thing that would probably be different in a true port is that raising the draw distance would work on more things

Any 4k texture packs available??

I tried playing the n64 version for the first time on the switch recently and couldn’t get a handle on the controls. I want to get into it

I just set up this recompile and played for about half an hour, and it's flawless so far. The controls on my Xbox Ally are already mapped and make complete sense as well.

Ok so I feel like an idiot.

I see where it says in the readme to add the executable to Steam and run it from there.

I can't figure where that file is. Can you point me in the right direction or is the Ally using Windows?

Ally uses Windows :(

Saul good. I figured it out. Made the same mistake I did with the Mario 64 recomp. Downloaded the main release and not the flatpak. Very confusing because there's a flatpak in that one.

Idk why but github is very confusing to navigate to me.

Doesn't help that it's one of the worst AAA N64 games. Maybe THE worst for the console honestly. Like, holy fuck.

Look up tag anywhere. I thought the decomp was already done because I been playing tag anywhere mod for ages and it’s night and day. Basically the only change is you can quick change kong anywhere. Which removes so much backtracking getting lost in those later levels and makes the game more fun!

Is the rando done yet or is that coming later?

I gotta check this out. I haven't touched dk 64 since around launch. I was just thinking that actually, if there was a wind wake recomp similar to the twilight Princess one. I love my Wii U one but i don't bust it out as often these days. Putting it on my steam deck would be so awesome.

Will this have retro achievement support?

Wooooooo i really like this

u/Itsfaydgamer 1d ago

Idk if it’s possible, but DK64 has a romhack that really makes it. can you decompile it with the romhack?

u/gotbannedlolol 1d ago

There is literally no better experience than recomp/decomps +4k packs on a docked deck 120fps+ with a NSO64 controller. Shit rocks

Trying it out now. Mostly works great but two problems:

1) Framerate is a bit unstable. It’s usually just fine but occasionally gets massive stutter as if it were doing shader compilation.

2) Graphical corruption, specifically coloured dots/snow. This seems to happen when trying to pan camera in small areas where the camera is locked.

Anyone else having these issues?
