Native Zelda: Majora’s Mask PC Port With Steam Deck Support, Gyro Aiming, and More Released

A freshly released tool developed by coder ‘Mr Wiseguy’ now enables PC ports of N64 titles without requiring the original game’s source code. This new project is distinct from the one reported last year by ‘HarbourMasters’. Here are the key features of this impressive recompilation:

Automatic Translation: The Majora’s Mask PC port uses static recompilation to automatically translate the game from its original platform to PC. Players only need the original ROM of the game; no additional game assets are necessary.
Enhancements and Effects:
- The tool leverages ‘Dario’s’ RT64 plugin as the rendering engine, ensuring fully intact N64 effects.
- High-resolution effects, widescreen support, and a smooth 60+ FPS experience enhance the gameplay.
- The graphical effects remain true to the original N64 version, with no workarounds or hacks.
Steam Deck Support:
- Players can enjoy Majora’s Mask on Valve’s Steam Deck.
- The option to set up Gyro Aiming is available for Steam Deck users.
Future Updates:
- Modder ‘Dario’ has hinted at additional features like ray tracing and emulator support in future updates.
Ocarina of Time Recompilation:
- ‘Mr Wiseguy’ is also working on a recompilation of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
- Future plans include dual analog control support (with analog camera), mods, texture packs, and model replacements.

Conclusion

The native Majora’s Mask PC port is a fantastic way to relive this classic game with modern enhancements. Whether you prefer Majora’s Mask over Ocarina of Time or have other N64 favorites you’d like to see ported, this recompilation tool opens up exciting possibilities for fans.
