Robotron 64: Recompiled 1.0.0

A native port of Robotron 64 (N64, 1998) for Windows and Linux, plus an experimental Android build. The game's code is statically
recompiled, so it runs natively instead of through an emulator.

You need your own Robotron 64 (USA) rev 0 ROM,
SHA-1 44d158bc2aeefb111a620b61e043b2703e6c5808
The downloads contain no ROM.

Install

  • Windows: unzip, run Robotron64Recompiled.exe, and choose your ROM in the launcher.
    • If it reports a missing MSVCP140 or VCRUNTIME140 file, install Microsoft's Visual C++ Redistributable (x64).
  • Linux (x86-64): unpack, run ./Robotron64Recompiled from that folder, and choose your ROM.
    • Needs glibc 2.38 or newer (Ubuntu 24.04 has it), a Vulkan driver, and the system's SDL2, GTK3 and FreeType libraries.
  • Android (ARM64, experimental): install the APK and choose your ROM with the launcher's ROM button.

Check a download against SHA256SUMS.txt if you want to confirm it's intact.

Features

  • Twin-stick aiming on one controller, using the game's own two-controller aiming.
  • Widescreen and ultrawide, with adjustable HUD placement.
  • High frame rates, higher resolutions and anti-aliasing through RT64.
  • Saving through an emulated Controller Pak.
  • A simultaneous co-op mode.
  • The game's unused first-person camera, as an option.
  • RT64 texture pack support.
  • On Android: on-screen controls, controller support.

Optional: HD HUD pack

robotron64-hud-1.0.0.rtz replaces the game's font and HUD icons with HD versions. It's optional, and the game runs without it.

To install it, open the Mods menu, choose Install Mods and select the file, then switch the pack on in the Mods menu.
It works the same way on Windows, Linux and Android.

Known limits

  • Linux has been tested on one setup.
  • Android has been tested on one phone (Galaxy S26 Ultra with Adreno 840). Mali GPUs aren't expected to work. "Open Mods Folder"
    does nothing there, and in two-player mode the on-screen buttons overlap parts of the HUD.
  • Simultaneous two-player is experimental.
