​Starship is a native Nintendo Switch port of Star Fox 64 (SF64), developed by the Harbour Masters team, known for their previous projects like the Ship of Harkinian (a port of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time) and 2Ship2Harkinian (a port of Majora's Mask). This project enables players to experience Star Fox 64 on modern hardware with enhanced features and performance.​

Installation

Requirements

  • Ensure you have a legally obtained ROM of the USA 1.1 Rev A version of Star Fox 64. Verify its integrity using the SHA-1 checksum: 09F0D105F476B00EFA5303A3EBC42E60A7753B7A.​
  • Ensure ROM is in .z64 Format: The ROM should be in .z64 format. If it's in .n64 format, convert it using tools like the N64 ROM Swapper.​

Guide

Users are directed to download the playtesting integration builds from the HarbourMasters' GitHub repository. After generating the sf64.o2r file (approximately 13.8 MB), it should be copied to the SD card along with the .nro and other necessary files from the Switch build. ​

Known Issues

  • Some users have reported audio "pop clicks" during radio communications, attributed to variable overflows. A temporary fix involves adjusting the master and voice slider volumes to 80% and 90%, respectively.
  • The port runs well under standard conditions; however, enabling 60 fps requires overclocking the Switch for optimal performance.

Changelog
