v0.1.1

Steam Deck fix release. An unofficial, fan-made native PC port of NBA Hangtime (Nintendo 64), built by statically recompiling the original game code. Not an emulator.

Runs great on Steam Deck: tested on a Steam Deck with a complete match in 16:9 widescreen, from tip-off to the final results, without a single graphical glitch.

You need your own NBA Hangtime (USA) ROM. These downloads contain no game data and no game code: on first start the program checks your ROM (SHA-256) and builds the game from it on your computer. Do not ask for or share ROMs.

Downloads

System File
Windows 10/11 (64-bit) HangtimeRecomp-win64-0.1.1.zip
Linux x86-64, Steam Deck HangtimeRecomp-linux-x86_64-0.1.1.tar.gz

SHA256SUMS.txt lists the checksums. Unpack anywhere and run hangtime.exe (Windows) or ./hangtime (Linux), then pick your ROM. Already on 0.1.0? The launcher shows UPDATE AVAILABLE and installs it for you.

Fixed

  • Linux / Steam Deck: graphics glitches in 16:9 widescreen: crowd, bench and basket pieces drawn in the wrong place and black gaps in the background, most visible near the baskets and in dunk close-ups.

Changed

  • Linux / Steam Deck: much smaller install. About 60 MB after the first start instead of about 370 MB. The build tools now ship compressed and are unpacked only while the game files are prepared; nothing is left behind. Updating from 0.1.0 removes the old tools automatically. The download is smaller too (51 MB instead of 73 MB).
  • Linux: the previous run's log is kept as hangtime.prev.log.
  • Windows: no visible changes.

Known limitations

  • The very first start on a Steam Deck closed once right after preparing the game files; starting again works, and it played normally from then on. If this happens to you, please report it in Issues with hangtime.prev.log from the program folder.
  • Windows needs the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 (x64).
  • Linux needs SDL2, GTK 3 and a Vulkan driver (present on SteamOS).
