# Snowboard Kids: Recompiled — an N64 static recompilation port

> Snowboard Kids: Recompiled uses N64Recomp to translate the N64 game into a native port and RT64 to render it. It accepts the North American and Japanese ROMs, loads game assets from the user's copy, and includes game-specific patches for widescreen, frame rate behavior and controls. Its source also supports mods and texture packs.
