# Dinosaur Planet: Recompiled — static recompilation of the 2000 prototype

> Dinosaur Planet: Recompiled statically recompiles the December 2000 Dinosaur Planet prototype with N64: Recompiled and renders it with RT64. The README says that prototype, released by Forest of Illusion on 20 February 2021, is the only ROM it accepts. A Direct3D 12 Shader Model 6 or Vulkan 1.2 GPU is required, plus a CPU with SSE4.1. A file named portable.txt beside the executable keeps saves, config, and mods in that folder. --4x3 launches at 1280x960. Build steps are in BUILDING.md.
