On top of that the resulting code is not debuggable outside of the injected RT64 graphics pipeline. We're going to see hundreads of developers starting garbage projects with these sort of tools, never generate code that could compile the original ROM, and will get themselves stuck on what's essentially a raw machine-code-to-c conversion.

it's good however as a programmer i can confirm that "full decompilation and manual handwritten PC port" is a little bit more powerful than static recompilation; because of that, Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time have advanced examples of these types of mods that static recompilation games can basically still only have in assembly: - design and import custom levels directly from blender - custom items - custom movesets - multiple types of multiplayer mods (splitscreen, online, coop, pvp, assist, etc) - object spawner - custom Fast3D materials (for non-raytracing rendering effects) - custom physics - import the main character into DIFFERENT GAME ENGINES as a playable character (libsm64) People who want to make the above mods possible without a genius assembly programmer will still continue to make "full decompilations" of individual games.

I expect that copyright will be more of an issue. Unless users are running the recompiler themselves on original roms, this means distributing recompiled binaries. This is distinct from other decompilation projects which reverse engineer the code and then separately reimplement the code from scratch, from a specification that isn't copyright encumbered. The binaries here are direct translations of the original binary code and almost certainly still carry it's copyrights. You might not be distributing a complete game (no art assets) but you are distributing code of the game which is equally covered by copyright. This is a huge potential liability.

I know the Majora's mask decomp was already really far in, so this will just speed it up a bit, I know the OOTPC crew is working on it, so hopefully once that's done they'll add the randomizer options into it like OOT PC, and hopefully they'll do what the emulator can do currently and make a OOT+MM randomizer, currently only on Emulator, but I really want it to come to the PC ports.

I've got some bad news then. Factor 5 were legit development wizards, and a lot of the games they created saw them also introduce their own microcode (which replaces the logic implementing the instruction sequencing in the processor with its own custom implementation), which the N64 supported. Unfortunately this recomp tool does not have the ability to deal with microcode other than Nintendo's standard microcode shipped with the console as far as I am aware at this time. Another way to think of this were if someone created a SNES recomp tool, you wouldn't just be able to point it at StarFox and expect success, because you would also need to introduce support for the SuperFX chip in order to work properly.

I had some issues with mapping controls to my N64 controller that is outfitted with a usb connector so I just used a PS3 joystick and did my best at mapping that to the N64 layout. N64 emulation may have plateaued with this one.

Of all the emulation I've been into, the N64 was the one that was most interesting. It's fantastic to see this.

I love how developers figured out a way to use copyrighted material without distributing copyrighted material to avoid nintendo from being able to issue DMCAs. Nintendo must be going bald from stress thanks to this newer innovation.

They will hook onto the open source solution that others developed for them for free and eventually use the same or comparable tech to sell the games. Sure they want control, but lacking that they can still profit off the work.

Cool stuff. PC ports should be interesting. MP GE:007 64 on PC with mods. Sign me up.

Absolutely mind blowing stuff.

For sure. We need PS2!

static recomp: from MIPS ISA -> C -> X86 ISA, using the ubershaders. I still remember when Dolphin-emu devs were flabbergasted that the ubershaders could even work. The generated ubershader code is so massive, you can't view it in a normal text editor if you would try so.

I really hope it will be even easier to make compilations of games sooner rather than later now that the source code to make this stuff is out, because *damn,* as someone who has no knowledge in N64 programming, let alone PC programming in general, this is a huge bummer. I'd ask for a more extensive and in-depth tutorial on how to make them yourself, but I'm sure that by then most games will already have decomps available, or at least I think they would. Hopefully within another year we can see packages for all of the most popular games. Conker's Bad Fur Day is a good example of a game I want to try in a native format.

Would really love to see Wave Race 64 at 60fps+

3:55 Small correction, I believe it was possible to do high refresh 16:9 Mario 64 emulation at that time. I remember Nerrel did a video about Mario 3D All Stars at the time and mentioned it I think. He's pretty reputable when it comes to emulation type stuff.

He should license his code with the F*** Nintendo license. Anyone and everyone can use the code for any reason, except Nintendo who can’t use it at all

This feels like the atom just got split for the first time for N64 games, Im beyond excited to see the entire library potentially preserved forever in this manner!

Looking forward to seeing a decomp of Donkey Kong 64

Since it's based on MIPS code reverse engineering, what about extending the scope to PS1, PS2 and PSP? I wonder if it's considered.

This project has the benefit of more complete decomp projects to reference than any other console. Wouldn't be impossible, but probably would require more time to figure out all the quirks of the target platform than any skilled engineer could reasonably throw at it.

Original model steam deck, refurbished, with a microSD card would come out to the same cost as a Nintendo Switch, and can easily run games up to Gamecube, PS2, and Wii with enhancements, and can run Wii U and Switch Games at their native resolution. Also, if you're in the steam ecosystem, you get access to steam sales. This opens up some of the best games on the PC for less than 10$ a pop. Stone cold classics like Portal 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Resident Evil remake, Batman Arkham series, and DOOM for just a few bucks each. There's also a shitton of indies you can get on deep discount or even for free, like the Deltarune games. The deck at its absolute rock bottom cheapest completely smokes switch in the current year. The only thing that could make Nintendo's walled garden more appealing is a successor with backwards compatibility that includes increased performance out of the box

@@Sly2Cooper I exclusively talked about the availability. Where I live in I cannot get a Steam Deck, for instance, as there are no places that sell them nor you can order one through the Steam page.

Its interesting. A little more than a decade ago general static recompilation was seen as a pipe dream. Many said it would never be possible. Yet here we are.

This will snowball into mods as insane as we've seen for the Mario 64 pc port. Imagine a total conversion of Majora's Mask that adds all the models from the 3DS version, or just general graphical overhauls. Exciting

Man, I need a Rogue Squadron N64 port now, the PC version is stuck to using weird pc menus and old graphic API's. It's such a pain to get setup correctly, and the N64 version feels way more polished.

There is no reason to think Nintendo will take this down.

Before you asked and wonder about the Nintendo ninjas being summoned I heard this program is totally legal as long you supply with your own rom due to the fact this isnt ripped from a nintendo console and using 100% open source programs used to build the program unlike yuzu whiched rumored to used nintendo code. I hope someday months that some people will be able to develop pc/steam deck ports of your favorite N64 titles even the ones that our obscure without waiting months or even years of work to do.

the problem with the ps3 is that it had all this processing units that were doing specialized stuff on parallele. its not exactly like a multicore cpu and so instruction can't easily be mapped one to one for a x64 architecture. even if they did manage it, a multicore cpu is not really like those units and won't perfom as well so it woumd'nt really work

MVG: I love ya and your videos. Were either going to get our first re-compiled commercial Nintendo game in 25 years. Or, were going to get our first re-compiled commercial Nintendo game in 5 years. And it's going to have obvious traces of being downloaded from a publicly available project. And it will cost full-price.

I’ve been enjoying the Super Mario 64 decomp port on my homebrewed PSP. Hopefully this opens the door to more of those ports making it over there!

Oh man, imagine if Nintendo picked this up and started recompiling all the old games for new platforms! Their marketing department ought to be all over this, the profit potential is staggering.

So excited for Tooie, still one of my favorite games ^^

I think Body Harvest will greatly benefit from this. Would love to give that a play through at 60fps/ultrawide

That rabbitizer tool looks cool

This method could be gold for Nintendo, being able to make ports to consoles that are both inexpensive, while also being able to show clear value over emulated versions.
