Soon you will be able to play GoldenEye 007 in widescreen at 240fps

One of the most exciting developments of the past few years for retro gamers is the proliferation of recompilation projects. These go far beyond what’s possible with emulation, resulting in code that runs natively on modern hardware. The latest project to make a huge leap in progress is GoldenRecomp, a recompilation of the classic N64 game GoldenEye 007, and it looks like it won’t be long before a public build is available.

The project is a collaboration between KholdFuzion and SonicDcer, and it’s now capable of launching into the game with full sound and controls working. It’s also running in widescreen at nearly 240fps, which is impossible via notoriously finicky N64 emulation. Check out the video below to see the results.
