N64 Homebrew

This is a public showcase where I display mods of Nintendo 64 games that are available to download and play. It will also an ongoing project to get all of the development resources together to allow people to make great user-made ROMs for the Nintendo 64.
Homebrew development
Here I’ll list up a log of all the tools I can find relating to making your own games, along with some easy to follow tutorials on how to use them. I’ll also link to some useful information and development documentation.
Libdragon
An unofficial open-source software development kit for making games on the N64. Specialises in 2D games, but there is an unstable version that allows you to make 3D games using OpenGL. Difficulty: Hard.
This section is under development, but for the time being you might want to have a look at Dragonminded Libdragon on Github.
Nintendo 64 devkit & SDK
Develop games the same way that people did in the 90’s, from scratch (or almost scratch). Difficulty: Very hard.
Make games using the official Nintendo 64 SDK
Hacking software
These are other kinds of software that you can use to make your own modifications to existing popular games. They usually involve just level editors with some addition in-game logic modifiers to let you create your own levels or campaigns in a pre-existing game engine. Difficulty: Easy
- Banjo’s Backpack is a visual level editor designed for Banjo-Kazooie, enabling the creation of new game levels.
- Hylian Toolbox is a unique tool for Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask that allows users to create custom scenarios.
- Overkart 64 is a similar toolset that allows you to create your own tracks in Mario Kart 64.
Homebrew gallery
This is a showcase of Nintendo 64 games that people have made over the years using various tools. Some will be ROMs, others will be patches that you can then apply to roms.
Hacks
A Hack is a homebrew game which is based on the code of another game, with some modifications to add new features, levels etc.
A lot of these games are distributed as patches – view our guide on patching N64 ROMS if you’re having trouble.
