Case study

reNut: recompiling Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

reNut recompiles the USA release of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts with the ReXGlue SDK. The current release hooks the game's D3D calls through Plume and compiles shaders from XenosRecomp into the executable. The launcher extracts a USA ISO and Title Update 3, and can add a DLC package. It runs on Windows and Linux. The README says physics misbehave above 60 FPS, and the frame limit is set to 60 under F4, Performance. Online play uses RexLiveless, opened with F10 or the guide button.
