Road Rash 64 Recompiled — 1.5.0

An unofficial PC recompilation. Bring your own Road Rash 64 USA v1.0 ROM.

Windows and experimental native Linux builds. An x86-64 CPU with AVX support is required; AVX2 is optional.

Start playing

  1. Extract the complete Windows or Linux package to a writable folder.

  2. Windows: open RoadRash64Recompiled.exe.

    Linux: make RoadRash64Recompiled-x86_64.AppImage executable and open it.

  3. Choose Select Game ROM, select your supported ROM, then Start Game.

  4. Open Settings to configure your controller, graphics and audio.

Keep the extracted files together and retain your saves/settings when updating.

Windows users can use RoadRash64DirectStart.exe to skip the launcher after setup.

For Linux requirements or AppImage startup help, see Linux help.

Settings and optional mods

  • Start with 50–60% Draw Distance. At 100%, the entire map can load and reduce performance, especially in multiplayer.

  • Install the separate texture mod or More Characters download through Settings → Mods. Extract the texture ZIP first to obtain its RTZ.

  • For MK64 tracks, use the importer in Settings → Mods and supply your own supported Mario Kart 64 USA ROM. No ROMs or converted tracks are included.

  • MK64 tracks/items and online play remain experimental. Online players need matching builds (protocol 68) and matching imported packs.
