Star Fox 64 Port

PortActive

An existing game or its source code brought to another platform.

About

A Star Fox 64 port for the Sega Dreamcast, based on sonicdcer's Star Fox 64 decompilation. The README mentions hardware-mixed audio and a raw PowerVR Fast 3D backend, and says it is intended only for real Dreamcast hardware rather than Dreamcast emulators.

How it differs from the original

The README lists force-feedback support on several rumble devices, saving to a VMU (3 blocks), and updated training mode and in-game messages for the Dreamcast button mappings.

Getting started

No direct CDI download is provided; you must build it yourself from your own N64 ROM, either with a Colab notebook (upload a ROM and download a CDI), Docker, or a manual KallistiOS setup.

Known issues & limitations

DreamShell ISO use may cause crashes not seen when running from CD-R, ODE, or dcload.
Running a DreamShell ISO from an SD card with a DC SD adapter can cause severe audio stuttering.

What you need to run it

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

You need your own US version, revision 1.1 (REV A) Star Fox 64 ROM.
The port is intended for real Dreamcast hardware; emulator use is unsupported.

Features
