What kind of rebuttal is that? So if i get arrested for stealing that source, I'm gonna tell the cops I'm in the right because "I'm not a moralfag"

Lol "I am above you because I don't have ethics and anyone who does is a fag"
Honestly, I'm with Ecchi95 on this, though his wording could be a bit better.
Morals and ethics, especially in regards to something as inconsequential as this, tends to stifle progress and, in some cases, outright prevent things from happening.

You know what else prevents things from happening? Working with an outdated codebase that doesn't let you do what you want lol

The source code is available for many graphics plugins, including an OpenGL one. I will reference them.
Good luck dealing with addresses :^)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I'm fairly sure the game gets penalised harshly based on fillrate and bandwidth rather than geometry (perhaps that's more of a general N64 issue); to my understanding, the game uses some Gouraud shading just to avoid loading new textures and wasting time with memory latency and the texture cache, and mod performance is heavily affected. Glad to see this improved at least.
This is true.

Interesting development. Wonder if the speedrun folks will have any discoveries as a result of this.

Personally I would have been content with something that could compile (and was not just kicking lots as a straight binary array to be left as is) similar to some of the disassembles we have seen on older consoles but if people want to gild the lily then "you do you" and all that.
Maybe they can finally figure out that infamous tick tock clock glitch

What? Do you have a god complex? It would explain why you consistently come across as childish and rude.

Like it or not, you contributed to that video getting privated. It shouldn't be entertaining, then again, you are the sole embodiment of a teenage 4chan user -- so what do I know?
I registered to make waves with the decomp. I said so in my OP.

Don't think for a second that I'm not entertained.
You seem pretty insufferable all around.

Interesting project though, wondering what'll come of it in the long-term. Kudos to the people working on it, I've tried to mess around with writing GBA homebrew and similar before and gotten frustrated with the spotty documentation. Cannot imagine working backwards on the N64, but it's a noble cause.
