Decompilation projects not only open the doors for older and beloved video games to be ported natively to PC, but they also open the doors for those same decompiled games to be ported to other consoles, with developers tackling the special hardware of the specific target console and finding workarounds to bring the decompiled game's coding quirks to the new console's hardware.

Such was the case for the debut and most iconic Nintendo 64 video game, Super Mario 64, and thanks to the initial and completed decompilation from years ago, developer jnmartin84 was able to finish a native port of the game to the SEGA Dreamcast, and while Super Mario 64 did have a Dreamcast port before, the port was incomplete, with it having certain audio and visual glitches, as well as missing VMU support.

Now, with the latest work by jnmartin84, the Dreamcast port of Super Mario 64 is now feature-complete, with full audio and running at full speed at the Dreamcast's 480p resolution:

​

Super Mario 64 for the Sega Dreamcast
This is an update to the original 2020 mrneo240 Dreamcast port of Super Mario 64. It addresses the audio-visual issues that were present and adds VMU saving.
This repo does not include all assets necessary for compiling the game.A prior copy of the game is required to extract the assets. Specifically you will need to provide the US version.

Those interested in trying this out, can visit jnmartin84's repository for the project and compile the game manually to play in their own Dreamcast, or through a Dreamcast emulator.
As with other decompilation or port projects, the user is required to bring their own Super Mario 64 ROM in order to dump the copyrighted assets from the ROM itself, as the repository doesn't contain any copyrighted assets. The repository contains the full instructions to be able to compile the game for Dreamcast play.

That guy is a complete and utter moron.

Agreed! The only person on my ignore list tbh.

If you thought I was going to ignore your little reference, you were terribly wrong.

Cool, I would play it... Only I don't have a CD burner any longer and I don't even know someone who does.

SEGA does what NINTENDOES

And once again, this is pretty neat

That's awesome! I think this game can port to Playstation 2 and other consoles like Nintendo GameCube, etc would able to play just fine.

Same for me. Worst troll and idiot on this forum, why he's still not banned is absolutely beyond me

Looks like they fixed the smoke.

The Sega Dreamcast is legendary.

At this point the DC will get endless ports and I love that!

Tekken 3, pretty please?

A legendary failure. Making ports for a failed 20th Century console does not change the narrative. Anyone who bought a Dreamcast at the time regretted it. And any of these games, including Dreamcast exclusives, will play far better on a PC.

this is awesome, i love projects like this, like the gta port, there is some nintendoid out there really pissed about this lol

and there it is, the angry nintendoid, forever a child, and for some reason, a failed console offends him down to his core

 

[raxadian]

Well, cool, is nice seeing the Dreamcast getting some love. I really should do the sd card mod for the Dreamcast some days because some fan made ports don't work on burned CDs.

I bought one when it arrived on Europe and i never regret buying it. It was a good leap over the PSX and games looked and played way better on the DC (Rush 2048, Hydro Thunder and Vigilante 2nd offense comes to mind).

In fact i got a 2nd unit that i keep new in the box to this day.

I had countless hours of fun with this console and a group of friends. So many good games to play with a group of 4 people, like Virtua tennis, Rush 2048 battle mode, Power Stone 1 and 2, Spawn (the game was not great but MP was fun), Quake arena, and others.
I miss those times.

I totally agree with you on that statement.

Does it work with IDE?

I doubt the people with CD burners did

you know the crazy part is back in the day my friend gaslit me so hard into thinking there was a offical GCN port of this game i will never forgive that mf
