World Driver Championship: Recompiled — an N64 static recompilation

World Driver Championship: Recompiled builds an experimental native Windows port from the user's USA Nintendo 64 ROM. N64Recomp and RSPRecomp translate CPU code and BOSS graphics microcode, while RT64 renders low-level RDP commands. The author reports testing through menus and Hawaii practice driving.
