So the Switch N64 controller works on PC out of the box. The right C button defaults to select but can easily be changed through Steam. Launching the new Zelda Majora's Mask port through Steam means I can play the game perfectly with the N64 controller

Wiseguy has created a tool to make PC ports of N64 games without full decompilations, which means we should see many more PC ports. The first of these is Zelda Majora's Mask and uses @dariosamo RT64 renderer for widescreen and high framerate support and plays beautifully

This is the Steam version of Crazy Taxi with the original assets restored (FILA, KFC etc) all of which are still in the code and just hidden, plus the combined soundtracks of all 3. Finally fixed analogue controls, a coding error sets the values incorrectly and force feedback too
