Wave Race 64 (gomesvieira)

Native port by static recompilation with N64Recomp, running on N64ModernRuntime with RT64 as the renderer and RecompFrontend for menus and controller support. It is an independent project, unrelated to the other Wave Race 64 recomp already in the catalogue: this one reaches playable beta builds while that one stalled at booting to noise. The elliotttate fork adds an Apple Silicon macOS build, HD textures and a replacement soundtrack. Both repositories state that the port is AI-coded.

You needYour own Wave Race 64 ROM, and it must be USA Rev A (v1.1, 8 MiB .z64). The USA v1.0, Japanese, European and Shindou versions will NOT work: their code is laid out differently and every address in the project is tied to Rev A.

You need your own legal copy of the game. The recomp is only code: dump your own ROM / disc image and point it there.
