Time Extension • • technology
Key Points:
- An unofficial PC port of Donkey Kong 64 is in development by the creators of the Donkey Kong 64 Randomiser, based on the "N64: Recompiled" project by Wiseguy.
- The port, developed by Rainchus, Ballaam, Killklli, and Umed, will support Windows, macOS, and Linux, requiring users to provide the original ROM to access copyrighted assets.
- Features include native PC play with high frame rate, widescreen and high resolution support, reduced input delay, and upcoming mod support such as the DK Randomiser and Tag Anywhere, which improves the character-switching mechanic.
- The developers emphasize that the port was created without relying on AI-generated code, distinguishing it from recent AI-coded recompilation projects.
- Donkey Kong 64 originally launched in 1999 to critical acclaim, though recent reviews note some dated elements; the PC port has no confirmed release date but is expected soon.
