The Nintendo 64 release of Banjo-Kazooie has been fully decompiled, which opens up significant opportunities for fan projects and potentially native PC ports.

How easy is it to decomp these games? I really want to play Star Wars Episode I: Racer on Linux with raytracing and all that.

The Dreamcast version of Ep1 Racer has better graphics, cutscenes, and hacks to get 60fps. Redream works on Linux

Didn't know that the dreamcast version was superior. I'll have to check that out.

I could be wrong but I don't think that the decomp/recomp tools are available for Dreamcast the way they are for n64. Like if I want a game to run natively on Linux without an emulator whike doing things like raytracing then it seems like the n64 games would be where I'd have to start.

Unless there are decomp/recomp tools for the dreamcast?

Wow!

Wouldn't the PC port that's on GOG be the best version or am I missing something?

Decomp? Extremely hard and time consuming.

Recompilation? Way easier, but still: some assembly required.
