Star Fox 64 Port

About

It includes no copyrighted assets and requires you to provide a supported copy of the game. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS and Nintendo Switch.

How it differs from the original

It supports voice language replacement using EU (Lylat) or JP voices together with a US ROM, one at a time, and a key toggles alternate assets. Rendering can use DirectX11 on Windows, OpenGL on all platforms or Metal on macOS.

Getting started

Verify you have a US 1.0 or US 1.1 Rev A ROM in .z64 format, download Starship from Releases, extract it and run it, then select your ROM so the game assets are generated. On Nintendo Switch, run a PC release first to generate an sf64.o2r file and copy it to the SD card.

• Only one voice language replacement can be used at a time.
• Playtesting builds may have bugs and crashes.
