Zelda64Recomp is a native game recompilation project that translates legacy binary machine code into modern machine code. It functions as a native hardware port and a static recompiled binary, executing original game logic directly on modern CPUs and GPUs to run without an emulator.
The project serves as a moddable game engine, providing a framework to apply community texture packs and code patches to the recompiled title. It includes native hardware porting capabilities that remove emulator overhead to improve stability and frame rate control.
The software covers retro game modernization through widescreen support, high frame rate scaling, and native hardware input mapping for gamepads and gyroscope sensors. It also includes capabilities for legacy code patching, native asset injection, and a dedicated interface for game modding integration.
The application can be distributed as a containerized Flatpak for Linux environments and supports a portable mode for storing configurations and save files within the application folder.
