Zelda 64: Recompiled — a native Majora’s Mask port without a full source decompilation

Requirements & limits

• Prerequisites: The reviewed build accepts the US Nintendo 64 Majora’s Mask ROM supplied by the user; game assets are not included. Ocarina of Time remains planned, and this is not an emulator for arbitrary ROMs.
• Prerequisites: Runtime graphics require Direct3D 12.0 with Shader Model 6, Vulkan 1.2, or Metal Argument Buffers Tier 2. x86-64 needs SSE4.1; the README lists macOS 13.0+ with Apple Silicon or a 7th-generation Intel CPU.
• Prerequisites: Source builds additionally require submodules, CMake 3.20+, C++20 tooling, N64Recomp/RSPRecomp and the specified decompressed ROM. The build guide lists SDL2 and platform dependencies; ordinary play uses the standard ROM.
• Testing evidence: The project documents high-frame-rate, widescreen, camera and save enhancements, plus overlay and cutscene issues. These are project claims.
• License: GPLv3 project license; original game content and dependencies retain separate terms. The team states that it does not use generative AI and bans contributions using GenAI tooling in any capacity.
