F-Zero Recomp 0.1.0 for Apple Silicon macOS and Windows x64, with optional widescreen, visual filters, keyboard and gamepad controls, audio, and persistent saves.

Windows download

Download FZeroRecomp-v0.1.0-Windows-x64.zip, extract the entire ZIP to a writable folder, and open fzero_recomp.exe. Choose your F-Zero (USA) ROM and press Play. Press F1 for widescreen, visual styles, audio, and input settings.

  • Windows 10/11 x64. Visual filters require Direct3D 12 with Shader Model 6.0; other renderers retain Original colours and widescreen.
  • Includes SDL and the Visual C++ runtime. Keep the executable, DLLs, and assets/ together; no development tools or separate runtime installation are needed.
  • No ROM is included. Supply your own matching F-Zero (USA) cartridge dump.
  • Settings and saves live beside the executable: config.ini, keybinds.ini, rom.cfg, and saves/save.srm. Quit before updating and preserve these files.
  • Original, Enhanced, Vivid, and Black & White are supported. Windows GPU checks and gameplay validation passed; the port also passed a Mac regression check.
  • The accompanying Windows .zip.sha256 file contains its checksum.

Mac download

Download FZeroRecomp-v0.1.0-macOS-arm64.zip, extract it, and drag F-Zero Recomp.app into Applications. Open the app, select your F-Zero (USA) ROM, and press Play. SDL is included; no development tools or code generation are needed.

  • Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). Intel Macs are not supported by this download.
  • Built for macOS 13 and newer; tested on macOS 26.6.2. Earlier supported macOS versions have not been tested directly.
  • No ROM is included. Supply the matching F-Zero (USA) cartridge dump described in the README.
  • This app is not signed with an Apple Developer ID or notarised. If blocked, attempt to open it, then use System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway. Apple's instructions.
  • Saves and settings live in ~/Library/Application Support/FZeroRecomp/. Quit the app before replacing it for an update; keep that folder to preserve your saves.

The accompanying .sha256 file contains the ZIP checksum. Full instructions and controls.

Course, vehicle, and exceptional-state coverage remains incomplete.
