Mario Kart 64 Decompilation is here! So is the era of Xbox 360 recompilation projects with the XenonRecomp tool (Xenon Recomp)....and GameCube decomps with the recent Mario Party 4 decomp...and the rest of the retro gaming decomp and retro gaming recomp projects! But you kept commenting you wished someone would decompile Mario Kart 64...and it has been done! The Ultimate Retro Gaming Console is just going to be your PC one of these days!

So lets talk about what a retro gaming recompilation is! Because we have the San Francisco Rush recompilation, the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask recompilation and now Sonic Unleashed recompilation. Thats a N64 recomp, an arcade recomp and an Xbox 360 recomp!

This is kind of like the Ship of Harkinian type thing right? Been messing with it on my Odin 2 and it's pretty great. Would love a Mario kart 64 version of that.

Epic!

Cool that was the only Mario kart that wasn't 60 fps. Actually it was unstable sub-30 (like most n64 gamed) if my memory serves me right. What I also wonder is if modding the characters sprites to 3D models would be possible without breaking the physic of the game.

I only played MK64 in multiplayer arena matches, where you had to reduce other people's balloons by hitting them with shells, etc. Good times.

Actual racing in MK64 was awful. Terrible, terrible track design all around. Coming from literal years of SMK, I hated the game pretty much from the first day. Multiplayer arena (and especially that 1 arena out of 4) was all the game quickly became about. My friends and I still spent a whole night on that arena via Wii's VC some years ago. But actual racing? Hell no.

But JNMartin, who brought us the Wipeout Dreamcast port...is porting Mario Kart 64 to Dreamcast from the Mario Kart 64 decomp project...and that's wild!
