Duke Nukem Zero Hour: Recompiled

Duke Nukem Zero Hour: Recompiled is a fan project using the N64: Recompiled static recompilation technology to bring the original Nintendo 64 game to modern platforms as a native port.

The project runs on the RT64 renderer, preserving all original visual effects without simplifications or emulation workarounds, while adding modern enhancements — high FPS support, widescreen and ultrawide display support, and reduced input latency.

The port is designed for maximum convenience: simply point it to a copy of the North American version of the game, and the project automatically loads all necessary assets without manual unpacking. All settings — graphics, controls, audio, and gameplay — are accessible in-game and support keyboard, mouse, and gamepad input.

Key improvements include smooth performance at any frame rate without affecting gameplay, flexible control customization (including dead zones and axis inversion), and full Linux and Steam Deck support.

The project requires modern hardware with Direct3D 12, Vulkan, or Metal support, as well as a processor with SSE4.1 instructions (for x86-64).

The developers plan to add model replacements, ray tracing, and multi-language support with the ability to load custom translations.
