Build instructions:
First clone the repository: git clone --recursive https://github.com/SimoneN64/Kaizen
Linux
Dependencies:
- GCC or Clang with C++17 support
- CMake 3.20 or higher
- SDL2
- Vulkan API (including the validation layers) + SPIR-V tools
- Qt6
cd path/to/kaizen
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -S ../src
cmake --build . --config Release
Running:
./path/to/kaizen [ROM] [Mupen Movie]
Your GPU needs to support Vulkan 1.1+, because the RDP is implemented via ParaLLEl-RDP.
Roadmap
- Full R4300i emulation
- Full RCP emulation
- Full TLB emulation
- Full joybus emulation (but it's not configurable by the user at the moment)
- TAS replay (using Mupen's format)
- Qt for native GUI
- JIT, with support for x86_64 and ARM (using an IR).
- Debug tools: disassembly, breakpoints, single-step and memory editor
- TAS tools: TAS input, recording (using Mupen's format), save-states, rewind and frame-advance
- Cheat support
- Allow to optionally pass a PIF image for the boot process (it's HLE'd at the moment)
- Windows support when it stops being a pain in the rectum.
This list will probably grow with time!
Special thanks:
- ares for being the cleanest and most accurate Nintendo 64 emulator out there. It served as a reference time and time again. Especially regarding FPU accuracy.
- Dillonb and KieronJ for bearing with me and my recurring brainfarts, and for the support :heart:
- WhoBrokeTheBuild for the shader that allows letterboxing :rocket:
- Kelpsy, fleroviux, Kim-Dewelski, Peach, kivan, liuk and Skyler for the general support and motivation :heart:
- Spec for being an awesome person in general :heart:
