From the README
N64 game-engine and editor using Libdragon and tiny3d.
Note: This project does NOT use any proprietary N64 SDKs or libraries.
Pyrite64 is a visual editor + runtime-engine to create 3D games that can run on a real N64 console or accurate emulators.
Besides the usual editor, some extra features include:
Note that this project focuses on real hardware, so accurate emulation is required to run/test games on PC.
Emulators that are accurate enough include Ares (v147 or newer) and gopher64.
Documentation is also still a work in progress, and breaking API changes are to be expected.
