About
This is a work-in-progress decompilation of the Nintendo 64 game Animal Forest (ドウブツの森). It is explicitly not a port: it extracts assets from a legitimate ROM and combines them with reverse-engineered C code to rebuild an identical ROM, and the project's authors state it is not meant as a basis for porting the game or for any commercial use. As of the README, parts of the codebase are still evolving and not all of it is safely moddable yet.
Getting started
You need your own base ROM of the game, placed in the correct version folder, and a Linux build toolchain (make, a C compiler, MIPS binutils, and Python with its listed packages). Running the project's setup, extraction and build steps then produces a ROM you can load in an emulator or run on real N64 hardware.
Known limitations
- compatibility: The project is work-in-progress and some parts of the ROM may not be 'shiftable' yet, making modifying them currently difficult.
Additional notes
- License
- Code under the source and include folders is released under CC0, and other files default to CC0 too, except for a few bundled third-party tool subrepositories that keep their own licenses.
