Cruis'n Exotica · Nintendo 64
Cruis'n Exotica Recompiled
Cruis'n Exotica is one of three native Apple Silicon macOS ports in navjack/cruisn-recomp. Its README confirms that it boots, loads gameplay code and plays audio, while only Cruis'n USA is described as completable. Exotica remains in progress and the project checks the supplied US .z64 ROM by SHA-256.

- Dump your own US Cruis'n Exotica cartridge to a .z64 ROM.
- Use an Apple Silicon Mac, the platform documented by the project's README.
- Build the port and provide the ROM when requested; its SHA-256 is checked.

About this project
The project groups three related N64 arcade racers in one repository but tracks them separately. Cruis'n World shares Exotica's boot, code-load and audio milestone, while Cruis'n USA has advanced to completable. This page reports only the Exotica-specific state; no game assets are distributed.
FAQ
Is Cruis'n Exotica playable through the whole game?

Which ROM version does Cruis'n Exotica use?

Does Recompedia provide the game, ROM or BIOS?
No. Recompedia does not host or link to ROMs, ISOs, BIOS files or game assets. cruisn-recomp ships no game code or data either; it needs a ROM dumped from a cartridge made from a copy of the game you own.
