Kirby 64: Recompiled

Imagine Majora's Mask or Banjo Recomp but it plays Kirby instead. This is that repo.

This repository and its releases do not contain game assets. The original game is required to build or run this project.

This repository is Under Construction. There are no downloads yet.

• If you use Windows and want to maintain a release, go to the Kirby 64 Decomp repo and join that discord server

The requirements, attributions, and most of the instructions are in the Zelda Recomp repo. Anything specific to this project will be below.

Special thanks to Wiseguy for dealing with the runtime fixes to support this game (and there were a lot of them; this game creates so many threads)

Instructions

• Clone this repo recursively (this folder should be about 1.1GB of stuff)
• Place your copy of Kirby 64 in here and name it NK4E.z64
• See the Clang Info section below.
• Run make
• wait
• wait some more
• It should create a Kirby64Recompiled executable in the build folder
• Make sure your copy of NK4E.z64 is in the same folder as Kirby64Recompiled
  • Or, if running from the terminal, the same folder as the place you're running it from
• Launch the exe and play it

Clang Info

This repo was tested to build and run on clang version 21. If you have another clang version you'd like to test (on Linux), the Makefile in this repo has a place to set that version.

Expect the tested clang version to increase over time.
