Quest 64 Gets The Recomp Treatment

Quest 64. Yeah, that Quest 64—the N64 game so weird it made people question if they’d accidentally inserted a Nintendo prototype from another dimension. And now? It’s got a glow-up.
Thanks to Rainchus and N64Recomp, this cult oddity just got a full modern facelift: instant loads, 144 FPS, ultrawide support, and RT64 rendering that keeps its pixel-art soul intact. No multi-year decomp needed—just smart recompilation magic that lets the original ROM run like it was made for your 2026 gaming rig. HUD’s still stuck in the ’90s? Sure. Cutscenes glitch at the edges of your 49-inch ultrawide? Of course. But the feel? Perfect.
It’s not just Quest 64, either. Majora’s Mask and Perfect Dark are next in line, and the N64 library is officially having a renaissance. Who knew the console’s most baffling JRPG would become its most unlikely tech showcase?
Bottom line: If you’ve ever stared at Quest 64’s awkward camera and thought, “This needs more resolution… and less confusion,” now’s your chance. Grab the Japanese ROM, fire it up, and marvel at how far we’ve come—while still loving the weird stuff that got us here.
