About this project
SnapPad runs ahead-of-time ARM64 game code with N64Recomp, N64ModernRuntime, RSPRecomp and RT64; it is not a general N64 emulator and needs no JIT.

Documented support and independently tested compatibility are different. AllRecomps has not run these games.
Development progress
Public IPAs have been retired and the README states there is no current public IPA or PadMint recipe; private local source builds are the documented route.

Known limitations
The maintainer reports a physical iPad photo-selection and scoring loop; dedicated physical-iPhone acceptance and the reported PS5/MCON controller checks remain incomplete. These are maintainer observations, not AllRecomps runtime tests.

Getting started
Only the unmodified Pokémon Snap USA ROM is accepted. .z64, .v64 and .n64 byte orders are normalized and checked against the supported fingerprint.
