The Official Community Native PC Port of Conker's Bad Fur Day (Nintendo 64)
Built with Static Recompilation, Modern C++20, SDL2, N64ModernRuntime, RT64 (DirectX 12 / Ray Tracing), and Authentic Rareware Asset Pipelines.
In 2001, Rareware pushed the Nintendo 64 hardware beyond its limits with Conker's Bad Fur Day. Real-time MP3 streaming, hundreds of synchronized facial animations, dynamic lighting, and cinematic cutscenes resulted in the original console running at heavy frame drops (12–20 FPS).
CONKER64: RECOMPILED delivers the definitive native PC version. Using Static Recompilation (MIPS VR4300 ➔ Native x86_64 C++) combined with RT64 and N64ModernRuntime, the game executes as a true 64-bit native executable with zero emulation overhead.
- 🚀 Flawless High Framerates: Native 60 FPS, 120 FPS, 144 FPS, 240 FPS, and Uncapped V-Sync.
- 🖥️ Widescreen & Ultrawide: True 16:9, 21:9, and 32:9 displays with proper FOV projection and HUD scaling.
- 💎 RT64 Graphics Engine: Next-gen DirectX 12 & Vulkan render pipeline with hardware Ray Tracing, DLSS / FSR / XeSS, and MSAA.
- 🏃 Full 3D Collision & Animation Engine: Authentic Rareware physics, jump mechanics, ground raycasting, wall collision, and signature Helicopter Tail Hover!
- 🎨 749 Authentic 3D Models (.OBJ): Complete geometry extracted directly from ROM asset packages (
assets00throughassets1C). - 🖼️ 940+ Native Textures (RGBA16 / HD): Accurate texture coordinate decoding and per-mesh material binding via
.mtlandstb_image. - 🎵 453 Real MP3 Audio Tracks: Dynamic multi-channel background music, voice lines, and sound effects decoded in real-time.
- 🎮 Modern Controller & Keyboard Input: DualSense, Xbox Wireless, Switch Pro Controller, and full Keyboard/Mouse support via SDL2.
- 💾 Native Save Persistence: Official 16Kbit EEPROM emulation saved directly to
%APPDATA%\ConkerRecompiled\Saves\conker.eep.
