San Francisco Rush 2049

Game: San Francisco Rush 2049 → (Arcade, 1999)

A native PC port of the Nintendo 64 version, made by static recompilation: the game’s MIPS code is translated to C with N64Recomp and run natively on N64ModernRuntime, with RT64 as the renderer; it is not an emulator. The README states that almost all of the code was written by AI agents (Claude), directed and play-tested by a person. On Windows the menus, Single Race, Circuit, Ghost Race, Stunt, and Battle run at full speed, all six tracks race through to the results screen, two- and four-player split screen renders, and Controller Pak saves survive a restart. The Linux build reaches the title screen and the first attract race with a software Vulkan driver, but nobody has played it on a Linux GPU. It adds high resolution, enlarged menu and HUD text, game logic at 60 frames per second, and options with an Original value, and it also builds as a web page. Version 0.1.27 (October 29) is the latest. 59 of its last 100 commits list Claude as a co-author.
