# San Francisco Rush 2049: Recompiled — an N64 static recompilation

> San Francisco Rush 2049: Recompiled translates the Nintendo 64 game's MIPS code to C with N64Recomp and runs it through N64ModernRuntime and RT64. The port adds game-specific patches for rendering, controls, audio and saves, and provides Windows and browser builds that load a player's ROM. The author reports playable Windows races and browser play in Chrome.
