Disclaimer
Due to technical limitations, the current release does not include any accented characters.
Full accent support is planned, but currently experimental (due to the Font Plus Latin1 mod having issues). If you wish to test the accented version, contact me on the N64 Recomp Modding Discord by pinging me @Lucaspec72.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
