Nintendo right now: Get Boeing on the line
Nintendo’s execs calling Boeing’s execs: “Hey, can you refer us to your…fixers? You know…rhymes with shmassassin…yeah you know, those guys.”
“You’re asking about our Garbage Men?”
“No, I mean… Wait, actually maybe…”
This might be a hot take, but i prefer the compressed graphics of the original in most games over the 4k rerenders
I’m wondering how much this will help the handheld scene. N64 emulation is pretty notoriously shitty on many handhelds.
It won’t help emulation but on pc/steamdeck you can natively compile it so that there no need for it anymore. Not sure about smartphone but I’m sure that it should be possible!
Well, usually those re-compilers or transpilers just translate the binary to some sort of intermediate language and then any backend should be able to compile it for your target system. So, in theory those handheld could be targeted. Problem with this project is that it’s not just “start transpiler, load rom, click go and your port is ready”. It’s more like "ok, here’s your game logic. Now implement the rest (or use several other projects and duct tape their libraries together to get what you want).
Ohhh sorry, I was confused by the recent decompiling of Zelda MM.
I didn’t realized it wasn’t referring to it…
so. For dumb people like me (or just for me to be clear), how do I play those games? i watched the video and read the site. there’s a link to the MM gamefiles on GitHub, but the video said you still need the ROMs? or this RT64? I’m old and apparently at some point, you just lose tech savvyness… :( can I get a step-by-step?
Ok I answer her without watching the video or any knowledge:
I assume you need to download the github project and compile it yourself (except there are releases on the right side)
You should follow the readme in the project.
There should be an information about where you should put the roms.
The roms can be (legally) download on different websites. It’s legal for archive reasons (afaik).
Higher FPS? Classical Ninendo games don’t use FPS as timer?
According to the video, game logic is still opperating at 20hz and the GPU uses frame interpolation to tripple the FPS.
