Ok, so the origional OoT Engine was just a "Hacked" SM64 Engine.

What im curious about, is would it be possible to "Hack" The SM64DS Engine, to make *****?


Ok, ill stop there. Not gonna mention the title.



Not a request, just a question. Is it possible.

Not without the SM64DS source code.
I wouldn't call it hacked. I would call it heavily modified by the developers. Hacked makes it sound like it was a homebrew project.

Halflife is a modified quake engine, but I really doubt you can remake quake by modifing data files. When engines are modified, the modifications can be really deep.

    Wait that was probably the exact same model we had lmao, that or the following model
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @_Ruri_, I used to have an MSI Netbook way back in the 2010's, and lemme tell ya, it was very slow.
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Loved those things though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Windows 7 ran okay, but you needed to change the performance settings and set the theme to classic to be at least usable. So Windows XP was more preferable.
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    There's something fascinating about small laptops

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @SylverReZ, Yeah. Imagine how well Vista ran lmao
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @_Ruri_, I like laptops in small formfactors, still got an Asus and Toshiba laptop that I use for testing stuff out.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    The MSI one is long gone.
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @SylverReZ, I still gave the HP Netbook in my drawer lol, it was my first computer, I could never get rid of it

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Don't use laptops too much tbh, especially small laptops, iPads completely obliterated them in everything tbh

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    The last laptop I ever used was a Lenovo (not a ThinkPad), storage got full quite quickly because it was limited to 32GB lol.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It ran Windows 10 which was before I moved to Linux.

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Mine too was a Lenovo, it was 512gb though so memory was ok
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    It still runs Win10 but I'm planning to use it as a media server.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I never use Win10 or Win11 because of the risks associated, I'm a lot more fond of the customization and ease of use when using Linux.
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    I'm on Win11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, it gets security updates for 10 years and you can disable a lot of telemetry and other stuff with groups policies
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Don't use Linux because a lot of games I play aren't fully supported on Linux and making them run it's kind of a pain
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I can remember what PC's I've used over the years. (2011-2013) - Medion PC with Windows 7, (2014-2017) - HP Compaq DC7100 with Windows XP Pro SP3, (2017-2021) - Lenovo IdeaPad 120S-11IAP.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @_Ruri_, Only play games on old consoles that I have or via emulation. Not too much of a new games fanboy.
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    I used the netbook (HP Mini something) from like 2009 to 2010, a Sony Vaio from 2010 to like 2015 then got an Asus laptop with 4gb ram and 1tb memory which I kept until 2020 when I upgraded to the Lenovo which I used until October 2023 when I built my first PC.

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @SylverReZ, Hm yeah I understand, Linux can work if you don't play new games, I still do though so it's not super practical for me. I have a spare SSD though, I could experiment with stuff in the future
