About

reNut is a recompilation of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, originally created with the Rexglue SDK. It requires the US version of the game, without the update, and offers a texture replacement feature and an extra menu of settings.

How it differs from the original

The README describes a texture replacement feature that dumps textures to files and loads replacement texture packs.

Getting started

You need the US version of the game, not updated. On Linux, use the Goopie Launcher to select your ISO and install the latest release, or open the AppImage from the releases page and choose your ISO to extract its assets. On Windows, use NutStaller's Do Everything option, Goopie, or download directly from releases.

Known issues & limitations

Texture replacement is unavailable on Linux because rexglue-ostentation is not working there.
AMD users currently cannot run the Linux port.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game.

Features

The game includes an extra menu for cvars on Linux, shown as the unused town map icon.

How to install

When the AppImage asks, select yes to choose your ISO and extract its assets; select no if the assets are already dumped, then set the assets folder in the game GUI.

Summarised from the project's README.

Additional notes

Linux gpu: AMD users currently cannot run the Linux port, which is being worked on, while Nvidia cards should work.
Config: The README provides a suggested set of renut.toml settings, such as disabling shadows, motion blur and MSAA.
