Wave Race 64

A early decompilation of a game with many waves!

Progress (Static)

• Game Code

• Assets

+ Some info +

* This project is very early so for now you can't make any kind of modification, well maybe I'll focus on it soon ;).

* Obviously you need the original rom of the USA Version of Wave Race 64, I am not responsible for which methods you get it.

* About regionalization, currently I am only decompiling the US version, for now I am not interested in the European or Japanese version, maybe I will do it later but for now it's not a priority

Dependencies

• Installing the required dependencies

Dependencies List

• Capstone
• pip3
• Python
• mips-binutils
• Qemu Irix (Optional)

Linux

Debian/Ubuntu or Wsl Ubuntu

• To install the first 3 dependencies would be:

apt-get update ; apt-get install libcapstone-dev python3-pip build-essential

• Installing Qemu Irix (optional)

wget https://github.com/n64decomp/qemu-irix/releases/download/v2.11-deb/qemu-irix-2.11.0-2169-g32ab296eef_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i qemu-irix-*.deb

• Installing the binutils

- Warning -

* This point can become something complicated for certain users, so it is recommended to follow the instructions well

• First clone the binutils repo

git clone https://github.com/tj90241/n64chain

• After cloning the repository and assuming that you're not in the n64chain directory, would be the following

cd n64chain/tools && bash build-posix64-toolchain.sh binutils

• Then you need the binutils in your $PATH

echo 'PATH=$PATH:/path/to/n64chain/tools/bin; export PATH' >> ~/.bashrc ; source ~/.bashrc

Building

• Cloning the repo

git clone https://github.com/LLONSIT/wr64.git --recursive

• installing the splat dependencies and building some tools

make dependencies

- Warning -

* If you cloned the repository without submodules do make extract and then make dependencies and make extract again

• Copy the Wave Race 64 USA Rom to baserom.us.z64

Assuming that you cloned the repository with --recursive

• Run make extract ; make

Some opts

• If you want to build the repo without ido5.3_recomp, only with qemu_irix

make USE_QEMU_IRIX=1
