An independent alpha recompilation of Banjo-Tooie for PC, made using AI and powered by RT64. The README says it is not affiliated with the team behind the Banjo-Kazooie Recompilation. Windows x64 alpha releases are available, with no support for Linux or Mac at this time.
How it differs from the original
The launcher adds display, resolution, anti-aliasing, framing and audio options, optional cheat controls and travel and progression tools, and a separate Private Practice session with one durable save-state slot.
Getting started
Download the Windows ZIP, extract all of it and run the executable; there is no installer. On the launcher's Play page choose your own ROM, confirm it says validated, then start the game. Only an NTSC-U 1.0 big-endian .z64 ROM with the SHA-256 given in the README is accepted.
Known issues & limitations
- Linux and Mac are not supported at this time.
- Other regions, byte orders, and modified ROMs are unsupported.
- Full-game completion and broad PC compatibility have not been established.
- Minimum Windows and hardware requirements are unknown.
- Some settings and tools remain experimental.
- Practice states require the same build, ROM, gameplay settings, and render settings; updates may make old states unusable.
