Conker's Bad Fur Day: Recompiled (Conker PC port)

Conker’s Bad Fur Day is Rare’s adult-humoured 2001 platformer, released only on the Nintendo 64; the 2005 Xbox remake, Conker: Live & Reloaded, is a different game. sciaschi created the CBFD-Recompiled repository on 26 September 2026 and published the first build, V0.1.0, the next day. Six more releases followed by 13 October. The project starts from the community’s Conker decompilation and had close to 300 GitHub stars on 21 October. We couldn’t find press coverage of it yet.

What it is

• A static recompilation of the N64 game: N64Recomp translates the game’s code into C, which is compiled into a native program. It runs on N64ModernRuntime, and RT64 renders it with Direct3D 12 or Vulkan on Windows, Vulkan on Linux and Metal on macOS.
• Built from your ROM: the repository holds no game data. The release builds ask for your ROM the first time you start them, and everything from the game comes from that copy.
• Made with a lot of AI help: the README says the recompilation setup, the patches, the host program, the mods and the decompiled functions were made with heavy use of Claude through Claude Code. The port is checked by playing it and by comparing it with the original running in an emulator.

It works like Zelda 64: Recompiled, Banjo: Recompiled and the other N64 ports in our recompiled games list.

Current status

Features listed in the README and the release notes:

• higher resolutions, widescreen across gameplay, menus, cutscenes and split screen, anti-aliasing and high frame rates, with Conker and the camera interpolated between the game’s frames;
• an optional 4:3 setting for cutscenes and an option that hides the N64’s black side borders;
• controllers and keyboard with remapping, rumble settings, support for real N64 pads through adapters, and one player per controller in multiplayer;
• mouse and gyro aiming, a free camera on the right stick, a field-of-view setting and a green aiming reticle like Live & Reloaded’s;
• save states in nine slots (F5 and F7), plus the game’s own EEPROM saves;
• the program’s own achievements for reaching each scene;
• .nrm mods (Skip Intro, Skip Any Cutscene and Cheats are included) and RT64 or GLideN64 texture packs.

Known problems: the README notes that in widescreen the pause menu’s blurred background is cropped, that macOS has not been confirmed played through and Intel Macs have not been tried, and that only the Ubuntu 24.04 build of Linux is tested. On 21 October 2026 the repository had 5 open issues, including occasional crackling sound, cropped 4:3 artwork in 16:9 and a request for online multiplayer, plus 6 open pull requests that add netplay. We didn’t play the game through ourselves.

What you need

• Your own US ROM of Conker’s Bad Fur Day in big-endian .z64 format. The European and other regional ROMs are refused. We don’t explain how to obtain or copy game data.
• Windows 10 or 11 (x64), Linux x86-64 with a Vulkan driver, or an Apple silicon Mac on macOS 15 or newer.
• Optional: a controller. Mouse, keyboard and gyro aiming also work.

How to install

From the official README, at a high level: download the build for your system from the project’s GitHub Releases page, unpack it anywhere and run ConkerRecomp. The first time, choose Load ROM in the launcher and select your US ROM; after that, choose Start Game. The macOS app is not signed, so macOS asks you to allow it once in System Settings > Privacy & Security. Each release also has a separate Mods zip with the included mods. You can also build the port yourself with the scripts in the repository, which needs your ROM at build time.

Other Conker projects

• ConkerBFDReloaded by DahSidiAbdallah (official repository): a separate N64Recomp port of the same game, with a Classic mode close to the N64 and a Modern mode with widescreen, a smoother frame rate and a free camera. Its latest release was v1.4.1 on 17 October 2026, and it also needs your own US ROM. The CBFD Recompiled README credits it for the idea behind its widescreen pause background.
• Conker: Live & Reloaded (Xbox, 2005) is Rare’s own remake and is not a PC port.

The 2005 Xbox remake has its own native port too: Conker: Recomped & Reloaded by Mabec Games, for Windows and Linux. It builds from your own Xbox disc of Conker: Live & Reloaded and adds online rooms. Version 1.4 came out on 3 November 2026.
