N64 Recompiled Games: Every Native PC Port (Oct 2026)

Nintendo 64 games were the first to be recompiled into native PC programs at scale, mostly with the N64Recomp tool, and several long-running decompilations add source ports on top. Most of these run at high resolutions and frame rates, and all of them need data from your own copy.

Short answerUpdated

We track 14 N64 projects. 14 are playable today (stable or beta), including Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64, GoldenEye 007 and Mario Kart 64. Every one needs files from your own copy of the game; we never link to game files.

FAQ

What N64 games have been recompiled for PC?

As of Oct 19, 2026, 14 N64 projects are playable (stable or beta): Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64, GoldenEye 007, Mario Kart 64, Paper Mario, Star Fox 64, Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon and Perfect Dark. 0 more are early, unconfirmed or offline. The table on this page lists every one with its status.

Do I need my own copy of the N64 game?

Yes. These projects ship code, not games: each one needs files from a copy you own, and this site never links to game files, ROMs or disc images.

Is a recompiled N64 game the same as an emulator?

No. An emulator imitates the console while the game runs; a recompiled or decompiled game has been turned into a PC program beforehand, which usually runs faster and allows features like high frame rates and widescreen.
