**To play:** download, unzip, run `1080SnowboardingRecompiled.exe` (on Linux, `1080SnowboardingRecompiled.sh`), choose **Load ROM** and pick your 1080° Snowboarding (USA) ROM, set the options and choose **Start Game**. **You need your own ROM.** The ROM isn't in this repository or its downloads. The game's code is recompiled to C here and runs only alongside an unmodified 1080° Snowboarding (USA) ROM in `.z64` format: - MD5 `fa27089c425dbab99f19245c5c997613` A fan project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo. 1080° Snowboarding is a trademark of Nintendo. The downloads above are always the latest release; older ones are on the [releases page](../../releases). Windows needs Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and a GPU with Vulkan or Direct3D 12. The Linux build is new and untested on real machines, so it may not be stable; it needs a distribution about as new as Ubuntu 24.04, Vulkan drivers, SDL2 and GTK 3. | | | |---|---| | ![The title screen in widescreen](docs/screenshots/title.jpg) | ![The launcher: options on the right, Start Game on the left](docs/screenshots/launcher.png) | | The title screen | The launcher | | ![The helicopter over Crystal Lake](docs/screenshots/helicopter.jpg) | ![Riding past the banners](docs/screenshots/stadium.jpg) | | The helicopter | By the banners | ![Racing at dusk](docs/screenshots/dusk.jpg) ## What's new - **1.2.2:** With a TV background on, the game renders at the same resolution as without one and is scaled into the TV's screen. This is another fix for thin lines through 2D pictures in full screen. - **1.2.1:** With a TV background on, logos, menus and text no longer get thin lines through them, and the N64 Solid background puts the game in the middle of the TV. - **1.2:** New **N64 Slowdown** setting (off by default). The game always runs at full speed at 30, 60 and 120 fps; with this on, busy scenes slow down as they did on the console. The amount is an estimate for now. - **1.1:** New **TV Background** setting, which shows the game on a TV in a room, with Soqueroeu's N64 TVs included. New **Cheats** page on the launcher for GameShark and Action Replay codes, with common unlocks built in. - **1.0.1:** Fixed the bar in the ice cave and added a VSync setting. Older releases and their downloads are on the [releases page](../../releases). ## Options Every enhancement can be turned off to get the N64 look back. All of them are on the launcher's main page and in Settings > Graphics. | Option | What it does | |---|---| | Aspect Ratio | **Expand** draws the game as wide as your window (widescreen); **Original** keeps 4:3 | | Resolution | Up to your display's resolution, with MSAA | | Frame Rate | **60** (the default), **120**, or **30** like the N64 | | N64 Slowdown | **On** slows busy scenes down the way the N64 did; **Off** (the default) always runs at full speed. The frame rate setting never changes the game's speed | | VSync | **On** (the default) keeps the picture from tearing; **Off** shows frames as soon as they are ready | | Draw Distance | **Original**, **Extended** (about three times as far) or **Maximum** (the whole course at once, the default) | | Field of View | 100% matches the N64; higher shows more of the course | | HD Board Textures | Sharper, 4x upscaled snowboard graphics with smooth edges (on by default) | | Board Thickness | **Thick** gives the boards on the board select screen a solid edge; **Original** keeps them paper thin | | Rider Shadow | **Original** casts it along the sun; **Under Rider** keeps it under the rider | | Ice Reflection | **Solid** draws the rider's reflection as one see-through figure; **Original** keeps the N64's patchy look | | CRT Filter | **Scanlines** or a full **CRT** look (off by default) | | TV Background | Shows the game on a TV in a room, like RetroArch bezels. Put PNG pictures in the `backgrounds` folder (next to the program or in the app data folder); the game goes in the flat screen area in the middle, and a transparent `_Led.png` is drawn on top (off by default) | Keyboard, mouse and gamepads all work, and controls can be remapped in Controls. The Mods menu loads RT64 texture packs and code mods. ## Cheats Choose **Cheats** on the launcher to use original N64 GameShark and Action Replay codes. Common unlocks (all boarders and courses, the Panda and Penguin boards, trick attacks and contests) are built in; add your own with a name and a code such as `81255088 00FF`. Cheats can be turned on and off one by one and are saved for next time. ## RetroAchievements Choose **Achievements** on the launcher and sign in with your [RetroAchievements](https://retroachievements.org) account to play for the 1080° Snowboarding achievement set. Only the session token is kept, never your password, and the achievement list is downloaded from RetroAchievements when you play. Until RetroAchievements approves this port, unlocks are saved on your PC only and are not sent to the site. Settings, controls and saves live in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\1080SnowboardingRecompiled` (on Linux, `~/.config/1080SnowboardingRecompiled`). To keep everything next to the exe instead, create an empty file named `portable.txt` there. Each run writes `log.txt` to the same folder; send it along when you report a problem. ## Building Clone with submodules (`git clone --recursive`), then: ```bash tools/recompile.sh path/to/1080.z64 cmake -S . -B build/pc -G Ninja -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ cmake --build build/pc ``` `tools/recompile.sh` builds a patched N64Recomp, generates its input from your ROM into `build/recomp-input/`, and writes the recompiled game to `build/RecompiledFuncs/` and its audio microcode to `build/rsp/`. CMake then builds the game with [N64ModernRuntime](https://github.com/N64Recomp/N64ModernRuntime), [RT64](https://github.com/rt64/rt64) and RecompFrontend. On first launch the game asks for your ROM. `tools/package-linux.sh` turns `build/pc` into a ready-to-tar folder in `build/linux-package/`. ### Windows (cross-compiled from Linux) After `tools/recompile.sh`, with [llvm-mingw](https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw), [DirectX-Headers](https://github.com/microsoft/DirectX-Headers) and wine64 installed: ```bash LLVM_MINGW=/opt/llvm-mingw DIRECTX_HEADERS=/opt/DirectX-Headers tools/build-windows.sh ``` The script applies the small MinGW fixes in `patches/windows-cross/` to the renderer submodules and leaves a ready-to-zip folder in `build/win/package/`. The HD board texture pack and the launcher logo are made from the game's own art, so they are not in this repository; set `HD_TEXTURE_PACK` and `LAUNCHER_LOGO` to bundle them. ## How it works - The game's code ships as relocatable USO modules; their format is documented in [docs/USO_FORMAT.md](docs/USO_FORMAT.md) - The whole game (3,421 functions) is recompiled to C with N64Recomp, and its audio microcode with RSPRecomp - Its libultra 2.0I functions (213) and RSP microcode (F3DEX 1.23 family + audio) are identified - N64ModernRuntime, RT64 and RecompFrontend run it, kept in sync with the game's own module loader - Enhancements hook the recompiled code in `src/game/`; renderer changes are kept as patches in `patches/runtime/` ## Credits - [Snowboard Kids 2: Recompiled](https://github.com/cdlewis/snowboardkids2-recomp) by cdlewis (GPL-3), whose runtime setup this port started from - [Zelda64Recomp](https://github.com/Zelda64Recomp/Zelda64Recomp) (GPL-3), for menu fonts and icons - [N64Recomp](https://github.com/N64Recomp/N64Recomp) by Mr-Wiseguy (MIT) - [djsaunde/1080-decomp](https://github.com/djsaunde/1080-decomp), used as a reference while working out the module format - Soqueroeu, for the N64 TV backgrounds bundled with releases (not part of this repository) ## License GPL-3.0 (see [LICENSE](LICENSE)), because the runtime code it builds on is GPL-3.
