Mario Kart 64 has been informally ported to a PC with speeding support

Unlike Sony or Microsoft, Nintendo seems to be uninterested in bringing its games to anything other than the Nintendo console. This hasn't stopped fans from informally porting some of Nintendo's older games to their PCs. Now, Mario Map 64 It is the latest classic title to jump to PC.

As reported VGCa fan programming team called Harbor Masters shared its Mario Kart 64 port, known as Spaghettikart. Harbor Masters and its “large contributors” reverse engineer the original code of Mario Kart 64, and add modern graphics options including support for speeding screens, 4K resolution and higher frame rates.

Spaghettikart also has new features including the ability to create customized race courses and increase difficulty for CPU drivers. Harbor Masters previously created PC Harbor for Star Fox 64, The Legend of Zelda: The Model of the Times and The Legend of Zelda: The Mask of Mary. These games have “clean code” that won't borrow or use any original code from the original N64 game. However, these PC ports still require players to have a legitimate ROM to use them.

Earlier this year, a separate fan-created project brought Minecraft to Super Mario 64For PC emulators, it can even be used on the Nintendo 64 console, with some limitations. The latest game of Mario Kart series, Mario Karting Worldreleased earlier this month as the launch champion of the Nintendo Switch 2.
