SnPRecompiled

Sin and Punishment (2000 N64) Recompiled and Port

You will need the game file from a licensed copy in order to play it.

A native PC port of Sin and Punishment (Tsumi to Batsu: Hoshi no Keishousha), made by statically recompiling the N64 game with N64Recomp and running it on N64ModernRuntime with RT64 for rendering.

Unofficial, and not affiliated with the rights holders. No game data is included. You need your own dump of the game to build or play this.

Features

• Runs natively on Windows. Linux and Steam Deck builds are untested.
• Widescreen, with the HUD at the screen edges and the reticle reaching the full width (experimental).
• High resolutions and framerates above 30 fps (experimental).
• Mouse aim, Absolute (the reticle follows the pointer) or Relative.
• Analog Aim for smoother aiming with a stick.
• Twin-stick controller layout by default, fully remappable, and keyboard.
• Plays the Japanese ROM or an English translation of it.
• Texture packs: RT64 packs and Rice packs made for emulators.
• CRT, Scanlines and LCD screen filters, and bloom.
• Unlocks and cheats in the settings, no codes needed.
• Add to Steam from the launcher, with artwork.

Game Files

You need your own data file: the Japanese release, or an English translation patched onto it. Known good:

ROM	SHA-1
Tsumi to Batsu - Hoshi no Keishousha (Japan)	581297b9d5c3a4c33169ae0aae218c742cd9cbcf
Sin and Punishment - Successor of the Earth (U), English translation	5945ff3935d9d9531bbb5cfcabed7c198e2b2f41
Sin and Punishment - Successor of the Earth, English v1.0 [Zoinkity]	e3906c919236dac6eba020b4b8c1df91fd725c5d

Other dumps work too: .z64, .n64 and .v64, and other translation patches as long as they only change text and graphics.

Start the game, pick Load ROM and select your file. It only has to be done once. You can keep one Japanese and one English ROM, each with its own saves, and pick either one with Start Game. Change ROM swaps one out.

Add a blank portable.txt in the application's folder to make it portable, if you want to save settings and saves locally.

Download

Get the latest build from the Releases page.

• Windows: unzip it anywhere and run SnPRecompiled.exe.
• Linux / Steam Deck (untested): extract the .tar.gz and run SnPRecompiled.sh. Settings and saves go in ~/.config/snprecomp.

On Steam Deck, in Desktop Mode, use Add to Steam on the launcher (or "Add a Non-Steam Game" in Steam), then play it from Gaming Mode.

Controls

F1 or Esc opens the settings. Change the controls on the Controls tab.

	Mouse and keyboard	Controller
Move	Arrow keys	Left stick
Aim	Mouse, or W A S D	Right stick
Fire	Left click / Q	Right trigger
Jump	Right click / R	Left trigger
Aim mode (lock-on / free)	Middle click / Space	A
Start	Enter	Start

Mouse Aim, Mouse Sensitivity, Joystick Deadzone and Analog Aim are at the top of the Controls tab. Mouse buttons, side buttons too, can be bound like keys on the keyboard side of the Controls tab.

Texture Packs

• RT64 packs (.rtz): install them from the Mods tab.
• Rice packs (emulator hires_texture packs): put the pack's folder in the texture_packs folder. Graphics > Texture Packs > Open Folder opens it. Texture Packs can be turned off there too, before the game starts.

Tested with Vanit's English translation pack on the Japanese ROM. If both kinds of pack replace the same texture, the RT64 one is used.

Issues and Limitations

Known:

• Beta.
• Widescreen and framerates above 30 fps are experimental. If something looks wrong, check it at Original aspect ratio and Original framerate.
• A few scenes show sky or nothing at the sides in widescreen, where the game has no scenery past the original 4:3 view.
• Linux and Steam Deck builds are untested.

Else:

• Please see the "Issues" section in GitHub. Screenshots or a short video help a lot.
• If the game crashes, attach crash_log.txt from the game's folder.
