The 2007 Nintendo Wii classic Super Mario Galaxy has reportedly been 100% decompiled by the SMGCommunity under the project codename Petari, and now a standalone PC port titled Astrocore, has been announced by the Luma's Workshop community.

Like other decompilation efforts, this project will allow for enhanced performance and graphics rendering and more by bypassing traditional emulation and using native code execution instead.

The upcoming PC port titled AstroCore is supposedly 100% human coded and is showcased in the above video. The project will reportedly release soon through the project's Discord channel.

This just in, we have officially reached 100% decompiled for Super Mario Galaxy 1!

The Luma's Workshop decompilation team will be moving to Super Mario Galaxy 2 after some cleanup work, so wish them the best of luck in the replies!We ask for your utmost patience, as we are putting a lot of care into this project to make sure it's done right.Stay tuned to this channel and the Luma's Workshop discord for more information and updates!

The project will of course require users to supply their own legally dumped ISO to extract the necessary assets which are not included.

Interesting. For most of the Wii catalog I feel the same, but for the Galaxy games specifically I can't imagine playing with a regular controller. Catching all those little scattering confetti bits with a wag of the wiimote was intuitive as hell.
Could do it with motion controls on a controller with Gyro. I've played that way on Dolphin before with a Dualsense and it feels quite natural. Mouse inputs like the Trackpads on the Steam Deck (or the Steam Controller) could also give similar control for pointer stuff.
 
uh. so the dream is dead, right? :( the release date trailer's gone, discord was nuked, website's gone

:'(
Hopefully not but if they did, hopefully someone else will build something similar using AI so we don't have to wait years for it.

Edit: Looked on ResetEra and it seems not all hope is lost, a backup does exist so hopefully the port can continue where he left off. AI assistance is preferred because who wants to wait 3 years for a PC port. And if you do, you can wait 3 years while the rest of us play the one made with AI.

Someone should make a user submitted news post update on what happened to Astrocore. Preferably someone affiliated with the project because people are talking about it online like nothing happened when the lead dev abused his power to delete the project. Thankfully people backed it up but still. This is definitely not releasing october 23 unless something big changes.

Also the site page has been removed and has not been restored.

Recently wrote a User submitted news article because the Luma'sWorkshop Team did not make a public announcement on their website or otherwise. This is really bad because everything that's publicly available makes people think everything is fine when it is not.

In case you're wondering, they're rewriting it and re-releasing it under a different name details here.
