# ClayFighter 64: recompiling and combining two N64 ClayFighter games

> ClayFighter 64 builds a native Linux and Windows game from statically recompiled ClayFighter 63⅓ CPU and RSP audio code, adding four characters from ClayFighter: Sculptor's Cut. Its installer checks both user-supplied USA ROMs and assembles the combined game data locally; RT64 handles rendering.
