Original game imageAbout
Space Station Silicon Valley: Recompiled uses N64: Recompiled to statically recompile the game into a native port with new features, enhancements and mod support, using RT64 as its rendering engine. The repository and releases contain no game assets, so the original game is required. It only accepts the US 1.0 N64 ROM.
How it differs from the original
Adds widescreen support, high framerate rendering up to the monitor's refresh rate, low input lag, instant load times, and an in-game config menu for gameplay, graphics, input and audio. Planned features are bugfixes for visual glitches and ray tracing via RT64.
Getting started
Download a prebuilt release and provide your North American 1.0 copy of the game in the main menu; assets load from it automatically with no separate extraction. It needs a GPU supporting Direct3D 12.0, Vulkan 1.2 or Metal Argument Buffers Tier 2. Windows, Linux (including Steam Deck, with a Flatpak) and macOS are covered.
Known issues & limitations
- MSI Afterburner overlays and software such as Wallpaper Engine can cause performance problems and prevent correct rendering; disabling them is recommended.
- Overlays such as MSI Afterburner and software such as Wallpaper Engine can cause performance issues that stop the game rendering correctly.
