Nintendo right now: Get Boeing on the line

Nintendo could have raked in millions by doing it themselves, but they prefer their closed ecosystem.

Nintendo on their way to file a DMCA C&D letter.

Video: “Even Superman64 -a direct affront to God- has a port”

lol

Nintendos already preparing their ninjas

Here before Nintendo files a cease&desist for daring to make a way better service than their shitty phoned-in subscription emulation service

a comment on that site really condescendingly claims this is how he would have handled it and that a script could be written in half a day to do the work.

my understanding is that an emulator effectively recreates the hardware's different components in software so that from the game's "perspective" it's running on a real machine more or less.

This process instead decompiles the game code and recompiles for a new target machine.

I suspect one can't just pump out a script in an afternoon to do this, but I am curious what is the complexity here?

Someone fucking message me when we have a working Battle for Naboo ROM.

Nintendo makes it as hard as possible to use their computers generically.

Nintendo fanboys: "Thankyou, sir, may I have another?"

Saw the twitter post yesterday, good thing they waited until it was basically ready to go before showing off, now even a C&D can't stop it.

I'm wondering how much this will help the handheld scene. N64 emulation is pretty notoriously shitty on many handhelds.

Can confirm that 60fps Perfect Dark goes hard on the SteamDeck.

Will be interesting to see if this is useful for non-PC platforms as well; I've got a Myioo Mini Plus (basically an ARM SBC in a GameBoy-esque case designed to run RetroArch) - it's not really powerful enough to run a N64 emulator, but if I could recompile the games in my PC and run them natively then maybe that'll work better?

When Conker’s Bad Fur Day is available with unlocked resolution and widescreen, let me know.

I wonder if online multiplayer mods could be made for multiplayer games.

Damn. Thats impressive.

Nintendo is preparing to sue the proper technologies out of existence. Anyway, what did you say the researchers last names were? First names too if you got them. Nintendo would love an address and possible information on their whereabouts around lunch time. It's all for the benefit of all players out there!

Fuckin finally, I been waiting years to play Quest 64 in HD!

Higher FPS? Classical Ninendo games don't use FPS as timer?

Ok, any info on how that's being done? It sure sounds like Wiseguy figured how to compile the code that was meant for the specific VR4300 (RISC) N64's CPU for typical x86-64 architecture

Has anyone been able to get this working? I was able to compile it for zelda but nothing else. https://github.com/Mr-Wiseguy/N64Recomp

Not sure how to get the elf files, heres an issue: https://github.com/Mr-Wiseguy/N64Recomp/issues/21

This is how far people have gotten: https://github.com/Mr-Wiseguy/N64Recomp/issues/17

When I saw this post yesterday I just thought "Ha, suck it dumb corporations who don't know how to make their own IP work."

But now that I'm seeing it again I just had the realization "HOL UP, raytracing? N64 Raytracing?"
