Conker's Bad Fur Day Recompilation

About

A fork of Conker's Bad Fur Day: Recompiled that adds a native Android port (arm64, Vulkan) with touch controls and mod support. The base project is a native PC port of the N64 US version, built by statically recompiling the game with N64Recomp from the Conker decompilation, running on N64ModernRuntime and rendered by RT64. The game is playable and has been played to the end.

How it differs from the original

Supports higher resolutions, widescreen, anti-aliasing and high frame-rate presentation, remappable controls and a launcher with a mod menu. Three mods are included: Skip Intro, Skip Any Cutscene and Cheats.

Getting started

You need your own legally obtained US ROM, which is never included. Download a release for Windows, Linux or macOS, run it, choose Load ROM in the launcher the first time, then pick Start Game. Android APKs are on the Releases page.

Known issues & limitations

• The pause menu's blurred background is scaled from the 4:3 frame, cropping its top and bottom in widescreen.
• Reflective surfaces render without their reflection texture.
• Above 30 fps, characters can snap and the camera can blend across a cut.
• Only the US ROM is supported; ROM hacks that only change assets are supported, but code-changing hacks are refused.
• Linux has not been played on a real GPU driver; under WSL, sound crackles while the software renderer loads the CPU.
• The game has not been played through on macOS, and Intel Macs have not been tried.

3. For the macOS app's first launch, open it, then choose Open Anyway in System Settings > Privacy & Security.
4. For Android, use the Spanish installation guide and get APKs from the Releases page.

Controls

• Default keyboard bindings: WASD moves; A is Space, B is Left Shift, Z is Q, L is E, R is R, Start is Enter, C buttons are the arrow keys, and D-pad is IJKL.
• All controls can be remapped in Controls.
• Esc or the controller's menu button opens Settings in game.

AI assistance

• The README states the project was made with heavy use of an AI coding assistant, and that decompiled C is kept only when it compiles to exactly the original instructions.

Additional notes

Rom hacks

Only the US ROM is supported, plus ROM hacks that change only assets; hacks that change game code are refused.

Decompilation

The underlying decompilation is a work in progress, with about 9% of the code as C so far.
