ROM Hack Does Mario 64 being decompiled mean a 3DS port is possible?

Yeah, played SM64 DS after so many Years.........rather have the N64 SM64. The DS version is not that good having to use Yoshi.
You need Yoshi for a practically insignificant fraction of the game and then you can forget he exists. For that matter Luigi's Superspin is totally game-breaking, but you can mostly forget he exists as well.
Until now I thought the biggest problem some people had with the DS version was that it didn't go far enough with its changes. But I can see the appeal of being able to play all the various mods for the N64 version on the 3DS.

Instead of insulting the devs because they're "too slow" then why not join them and make the process faster?
Theoretically yes, if you remove all of the N64-isms from the game, and fix things like endianness, etc.

to those saying SM64DS or emulation, do either of them run in 3d? :^) i'm sure sm643D is possible
N64 didn't have an ARMS architecture. It was MIPS-based.

Because I set my own release schedule. I decide when what I do is ready for people.
And? I was talking about the 3DS and Switch. You missed the context of my post.

>If you're an independent thinker, you're a troll.
I'm doing my own things with the decomp. We'll see who's a troll when I provide them faster than the team.
This attitude makes you sound like you were banned from the team and you're trying to get revenge or some shit
so you're either saying that you'd leak it even EARLIER than it was finished, or that you have the self-proclaimed coding ability to decomp a game in less than a year?
I'd leak it as soon as it compiled an identical ROM. At that point it was done and anything else is supplementary and up to the people using it.
So if the decomp can be barely edited you'd still leak it even though it could be made better?
Yes, that's up to the individual needs of the people using it to further customize it.

You need to relax about this whole thing. What's your hurry? It's 23 years since Super Mario 64 was first released. What difference would it make if this project was released a year earlier or later? "The official team is too slow!" We all survived 23 years without a Super Mario 64 disassembly.
You should start with writing an OpenGL backend for the gSP API, gDP API, and the gu API. You would also have to write your own implementation of the os API and make a wrapper to SDL or SDL-equivalent for cross-platform audio and input. This is just for getting a "vanilla" SM64 experience (e.g. no modified graphics).
If you'd want to overhaul the graphics, you would not write an implementation of the APIs, but you would have to completely rework the rendering logic for SM64, because it currently relies heavily on rendering n64 display lists and SPTasks. And there are 451 gSP calls in the code, and over 936 references to display lists.
This doesn't even include porting all the code so it conforms to modern C compiler requirements. I don't think you understand the amount of work required for this.
Would love this too
The 3DS seems to be having a mini resurgence recently and I for one love it
