Beetle Adventure Racing Recomp: an N64 static recompilation port

Beetle Adventure Racing Recomp builds a native PC port of the USA Nintendo 64 game using N64Recomp and a modern runtime. Continuing an earlier port, it adds widescreen and HUD work, extended draw distance, diagnostics and a technical reference on the ROM, relocatable modules and rendering. The author reports playable races on Windows; the Linux build is still in progress.
