# Duke64-RE: reconstructing Duke Nukem 64 in C and assembly

> Duke64-RE reconstructs the North American Nintendo 64 release of Duke Nukem 64 as C and MIPS assembly. A ROM segment map assigns offsets to game, renderer, audio, and libultra source files; the Makefile invokes MIPS tools and an IDO compiler for the build.
