Homebrew Is a Mario64 port possible?

[Ampersound]

Hi there,
i've just been wondering that now after the source code for Mario64 is publicly available, shouldn't it be possible to port it to 3ds?
Of course including any copyrighted assets would cause legal issues etc. though.
I have no idea how porting a game works at all, so if you guys would like to give your two cents that would be neat.
Something about the idea of Mario64 running natively on the system strikes my fancy.

Why would anyone port it over when Mario 64 DS is a game?

You got both a n64 emulator for the n3ds or the ds game super mario 64. pick one play it. if not play it on a pc emulator. or just whip out the N64 console with the game.

Many prefer the originals controls. You don't have circle pad support in Sm64DS, and it could run at the 3ds' regular resolution.

Seems a bit pointless having TWO ways to play the game on 3DS already.
Maybe dream of a switch port with enhaced *everything* instead?

Yeah, perfectly possible. But it's not as simple as pressing a few buttons.

I'd love it on the 3ds because why not? probably be easier to add features, levels, or characters that way.

This thread isn't even off the front page yet. Do we really need another hundred posts on the subject?

Oh i didn't see that post. It's a bit odd that the search engine didn't show those two threads when i created this one, it only showed other less relevant ones.
I guess you can close this thread then as it's redundant. Or move over the replies to the to the other thread if that's possible. *shrugs*
