Donkey Kong 64 Base Hack

This repo contains all the necessary building blocks to make a Donkey Kong 64 ROM Hack.

Tools contained:

• Cranky's Lab: Enables overwriting ROM Assets without entropy restrictions
• ARMIPS: Writing custom code in C or MIPS Assembler
• N64Tex: Converting PNGs into image formats supported by the N64 (RGBA16, i4, i8, ia4, ia8)
• Flips: CLI for creating BPS Patches
• DK64MapGenerator: Custom tool to build map files using Fast64 Blender plug-in
