Banjo-Kazooie is the latest Nintendo 64 game to be decompiled, making PC ports of the game possible.
As spotted by X user BringBackBanjoK, a fan-made decompilation project for the game has now hit 100% completion.
Decompilation involves reverse-engineering the code of indivisual Nintendo 64 games and turning them into C code, which can then be compiled into playable PC versions.
The belief is that this helps shield the projects somewhat from legal ramifications.
Reverse engineering projects such as these are technically made legal because the developers involved do not use any leaked content or copyrighted assets.
In May, a tool called N64: Recompiled was released, which automatically recompiles N64 binaries into C code in a fraction of the time it takes full decompilation projects.
Previous decompilation projects have led to PC ports of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. »
