Mario Kart 64 could be the next🌜 Nintendo 64 game to get an unoffic𒆙ial native PC port, as decompilation efforts for the game have finally completed.

One of the best gaming ꩲdevelopments of the 2020s has been the rise of decompilation, which is a process which allows people to strip a game back to its source code via the ROM, opening it up to be developed on.

This has allowed the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Super Mario 64, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sonic Unleashed, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to get native PC versions that can then be enhanced with graphical and performance tweaks and, of course, mods to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:let you play as CJ from GTA San Andreas. And from the looks of things Mario 🎀Kart 64 could be th🍬e next N64 game in line to get this treatment.

As reported on the Mario Kart 64 is the latest game to be fully decompiled by fans. However, this doesn't mean that a native port of the game will spring up overnight, as it would still require a team to recompile the game to become a PC port. That wiꦅll no doubt take time, and that is if a team steps up to take on the project at all.

However the prospect of this port is exciting. Not only can the likes of a higher resolution, better frame rate, and gyro controls appear from this, but fans could go even further with the tracks and racers. Before Mario Kart 64 released, Kame♔k was originally in the game before being replac🐓ed by Donkey Kong, so that little wizard could finally race where he was destined to.

Plus we could see the likes of past and fu🦹ture Mario Kart characters and tracks ported to💮 the classic title. Finally, Funky Kong can take over another game.

Speaking of Mario Kart, here's Everything we know about the upcoming Switch 2 game Mario Kart World.
