Super Mario 64 PC port has been released!

[Deleted member 42501]

I would love to see a 3DS port tbh !

Oh indeed. That would be quite great. F Zero X as well please!

To find the source code, simply google "sm64pc_src_zip" (doesn't matter if it has quotes)

So is the gofile .exe safe or not?

 

[nastys]

Why dx12 over opengl, vulkan, dx11?

Apparently, the same source code can be compiled on Linux with GLX.

Oh, it just works after copying the base rom to ./baserom.us.z64 and installing the required dependencies.

sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config git binutils-mips-linux-gnu python3 zlib1g-dev libaudiofile-dev libsdl2-dev x11proto-randr-dev libusb-dev libglfw3-dev libusb-1.0.0-dev
make TARGET_N64=0 -j$(nproc)

To run it in full screen, open Settings, go to Keyboard Shortcuts, and assign anything to Toggle Fullscreen.

It should also work on L4T Ubuntu on Switch.

Okay, please stop sending me requests via pm. I´m not going to tell you where you can get the files.
Google is your friend.

Thanks, looks pretty clean to me

Found the source code, I have not gone through it anywhere close to properly to say with any kind of certainty but if it pulls data from the original ROM (see Jenkinsfile within the source, and various readmes) it might be as free and clear as the basic decompilation. Slightly concerned about the level files though. Timestamps are interesting as well if accurate.

Anyway had a cursory skim around but have not seen the original since the leak and my even quicker comparison to final, not to mention I am far from the best Windows game programmer to be making any kind of proper assessment. Does look like a reasonable amount of work went into it and not as many bodges and kludges as I normally would expect in such an early stage project -- it still bears some scars from its heritage but nothing that can't be worked around.

I doubt we'll have the source for the port specifically until the project is considered complete, or maybe even ever.
Releasing the source right now would mean more proof for Nintendo that they're using copywritten material, and although they obviously are, the less proofs against 'em is the safest for the project and for them.
Also, if you're worried about viruses, you can check the executable with VirusTotal.

They would be in legal trouble regardless of source code availability, since they are already using nintendo characters, assets and trademarks.

The source code doesn't include the assets.

Interesting, I was unaware the decompile project required the models and animations from the game's binary (afaik the models in sm64 are built with the binary, but they may have changed this), does this release not include any models and textures then?

 

[FAST6191]

The source code doesn't include the assets.

While they appear to have made an effort to remove things the one I got had coordinates for models within the levels it seems.

So the models are actually hardcoded?

They are hardcoded in the binary, but the decompilation project (mostly) doesn't include them, you have to extract them into c source code with a tool they provide.

I am not sure if the port requires you to provide a rom.

Here is a diff of the PC sources against sm64 decompilation repo commit 9273f38df135273d905ac14e7a090ebac4ba3ae9...

Well, if the assets aren't included with the decomp, then I'd say it's a safe bet.

I am not sure if the port requires you to provide a rom.

Once compiled and built, they are embedded in the binary, even if you compile it for Linux/OpenGL.

 

[FAST6191]

Looks like they are in this copy I have. However if they are that basic it should be possible to grab them from the ROM and generate like many other things.

Wow, some people really do some incredible things. Hope someone manages to make a nice level editor for this.

This makes me wish all source code for every abandoned/cancelled/obsolete software would be released and freely available for everyone so those devoted enough can make something out of it.
