Right, that's a shame. I'd like to hope that Star Fox 64 has a bit more pull than Paper Mario 64 but you never know.
I'm honestly surprised that the Pokemon games don't have PC ports.
My only guess as to why is that they're so easy to accurately emulate and because you can just use Pokemon Showdown if all you want is battling/metagame.
There are a ton of romhacks using the pret disassemblies as bases and I've heard rumors of an Emerald PC port but I've never seen it.
I read a while back that a BDSP decompilation is being worked on due to it being made in Unity, so a PC port for that is plausible. Map injection is already possible with just emulation, so a full PC port could possibly allow for whole fangames being built inside BDSP itself.

Always great to see updates on this.
The fact that they included Z-buffer jitter is pretty funny
From what I've gathered, it'll continue to have those characteristic PS1 visual artifacts until the later stages when they'll replace the original renderer with a new one. Anyone in the know, correct me if I'm wrong.
I've asked about this on their discord and got no response, I'm really curious as well about how it works.
I don't know if it has been mentioned, but Castlevania 64 has been apparently decompiled

Awesome, always found CV64 to be quite a bit an interesting game in the series, too bad this decompilation doesn't seem to be for Legacy of Darkness

60FPS is now fully playable, combined with Widescreen. This took 2 years, 3 videos, 600+ changes to the source code, and over 1000 hours of testing by 10+ testers!
This is the most logically-complex mod ever built into CTR, and the largest QA testing effort, out of all the mods in this entire channel.

Ooh! I wonder what kind of neat stuff they'll do with this. Someone was working on a randomizer for it too.
There was apparently a stream a couple of weeks ago showing off the game to the public for the first time, but they made clear there is no ETA and it will be a while yet before release.

Nice, I wasn't aware they had shown anything. It sure does look like Majora's Mask.

Recompilation. I figured this would be relevant to anyone interested in the decompilation projects.

I don't know what it is about seeing lowpoly games with (good quality) HD textures plus the enhanced lighting but I absolutely adore the look of it and now I really wanna replay both OoT and MM like that (though it's a shame Nerrel's textures are for MM only).
This is insane. Skipping the decomp process to get to PC ports could see an absolute slew of ports in the near future. And that ray traced OOT looks absolutely stunning, can't wait for these to develop further.
I don't mean to be dumb but... how is this possible? It feels unintuitive to me that decomp -> building a launcher takes an understandably long time but this is virtually instant?
It's real. The Superman 64 decomp also took two days from start to finish. I almost couldn't believe it either until I had it running on my on PC.
To be clear, the recomp itself takes a matter of seconds to make, but it usually takes a few days to get a "working" port, and this is where having a decomp speeds things up a lot.
Getting to the level of polish MM has, with great quality interpolation and other enhancements, is a much longer process, but a lot of that is on Dario's RT64 side rather than Wiseguy's recomp tool.
Thanks, I'm working on some OoT textures (you can see them at 4:41). The main holdup is that I have no idea whether to do the 3D version in Citra or the PC port
Just downloaded this. Setup took all of 2 seconds. Works perfectly. Seems like legit black magic.
Hi from someone who reviewed Rocket: Robot on Wheels in the '90s. I wish I still had my bright-red N64 cartridge for that one. Can't wait to play that one in recomped mode someday. Great video, thanks for putting that together.
Also Wiseguy now has his much more technical breakdown of how the tool works on his github if anyone wants to know more about how this is possible. I don't understand a damned word of it: https://github.com/Mr-Wiseguy/N64Recomp
This is actually incredible.
How it works is also surprisingly "simple" and straightforward.

holy fucking shit, this is incredible. this deserves its own thread.
Oh wow I didn't know you were around here lol. Personally I'd probably go with the PC port but I do see why you'd wanna do 3D as well (though it's a shame Citra isn't as easily available now that they took it down). Come to think of it, weren't you working on a MM3D pack a while back too?
Either way I'd be stoked for either one you choose to work on.
This is pretty crazy.
I personally prefer a full decomp and port, but anything that gets me 4k60 Mystical Ninja on PC is okay in my book.
This is some black magic! I thought a huge blocker to decompiling older games for AOT native ports was due to many games making use of self-modifying code. I guess its not as big of a deal for N64? Though it was mentioned that games with custom microcode would cause issues.
Still an amazing feat! Can't wait to see what comes to the launcher!

I gotta finish the Sealed Palace romhack I was playing while I was waiting for 2Ship to drop (highly recommended btw)
Gave the current build of the recomp a whirl and it works straight away. Only missing features I could possibly want are right stick camera control and d-pad ocarina. Incredible stuff for a 1.0.

This is amazing. Given all the crap I've heard about the PC version of Rogue Squadron, I want this for that ASAP.
And Star Fox!
They did mention games that utilize microcode would present issues. Indiana Jones was pictured, but Rogue Squadron is another notable one. Maybe that game is more understood?
I'll be the one waiting for the Mission Impossible port.
I've edited my post with a link to the thread for N64: Recompiled, more information and discussion on it is there.
