How to play decomp PC ports

  1. Own the game. Dump your own cartridge or disc. We don't link ROMs.
  2. Pick a project from the hub table, or use a launcher.
  3. Download from the official GitHub Releases page only.
  4. Point it at your copy. Starship, for example: run starship.exe and select your US 1.0 or 1.1 ROM, and it generates its own asset file. Source
  5. Tweak settings: widescreen, 60 FPS and controllers.

Troubleshooting

Crashing on Starship? Switch the graphics backend to OpenGL in settings. Source. The Metroid Prime port on Windows needs a Visual C++ redistributable. Source

Legal: CRT Forge links to official project repos only. We never host or link ROMs or disc images. You must own the game and dump your own copy. This isn't legal advice.

FAQ

Why does my ROM not work?

Most ports support only specific versions, like Starship's US 1.0 and 1.1. Check the repo README.

Can I play on Steam Deck?

Several ports ship Linux builds. GoldenEye's Linux bundle runs on Steam Deck, for example.
