Castlevania 64

⑂ Fork of RevoSucks/CV64Recomp

Castlevania 64 (DankZoneStudios)

DankZoneStudios/CV64Recomp

A Windows fork of the Castlevania 64 recomp by RevoSucks, also in the catalog, built with N64Recomp and with RT64 as its renderer. It adds a reproducible pipeline to generate the game code from your ROM, build and runtime fixes, and a restyled launcher. It runs at 60, 120 fps or higher without changing game speed, has widescreen, and loads texture packs and mods from the launcher, though mods have barely been tested. Version 0.6.1 (September 29) stopped objects from vanishing at the sides of the widescreen view: the visibility bounds, designed for the original’s 320×240, now adapt to the aspect ratio, and 4:3 mode keeps the original behavior. There’s only a Windows build, and the project describes itself as a work in progress.

You needYour own US 1.0 Castlevania 64 ROM (SHA-1 989A28782ED6B0BC489A1BBBD7BEC355D8F2707E); other regions and revisions aren’t supported. Plus 64-bit Windows and possibly the Visual C++ 2015–2022 (x64) redistributable. To build it, the game code is generated on Linux or WSL and needs the ROM as a .z64.

RevoSucks/CV64Recomp

Castlevania 64: Recompiled: a static recompilation of the 1999 N64 Castlevania with N64Recomp. Its README still says it doesn’t build, but version 0.5.0 (October 6), its first beta, is presented as a working build, for Windows, Linux (x86-64 and ARM64, AppImage and Flatpak too), and macOS. Still pending: the UI assets, which are still the Banjo-Kazooie recomp’s; scrolling textures (water, sky) don’t animate above 30 fps, and some looping animations glitch. It’s a separate project from Legacy of Darkness.
