Super Mario 64 Port for PSOne is possible ?

[Dragon91Nippon]

I didn't know it had audio at all. The psp version i found has heavy graphical glitches and no sound.

Weird, it looks great on mine. Might be a different version though.

I was wondering, if the biggest challenge to port to PS1 is RAM, maybe Sega Saturn is possible? After all, it has cartridges with 2 and 4 MB of RAM.

If I'm not mistaken the Sonic Z-Extreme homebrew needs one of these to work.

Anyway, just for curiosity, we already have Super Mario 64 port for Dreamcast, PS2 and PSP, so far the PSP and Dreamcast were the weakest consoles to receive the port, but both are not weaker than the Nintendo 64 after all.




The video for the PS2 and Dreamcast version are from an old version, I can confirm that the Dreamcast port is already working way better, they even made a mod to run at 60fps on it.

The DSi has 16 MB of RAM, the same as the Dreamcast, I don't think it's impossible, but I think the CPU speed and the DSi's resolution would be quite problematic, but it would be an extremely interesting thing to see a Super Mario 64 DSi Port.

note that I said DSI not DS a ds port would be a huge pain in the ass to get at least 15-20fps in. Also the ds has a slower cpu so...

Kinda is and isn't.
The game logic runs natively, while the audio and graphics are emulated.

Is that because of how the game is built? I mean like asking the chips directly to render some stuff and play certain sounds rather than using all samples?

You could say that, yeah.

 

[Anxiety_timmy]

why not a gamecube port?

 

[Hambrew]

It'd be fun AND it'd be awful. OK fine i'll enter the hype train.

I'm reviving the post just to say that even the Nintendo DS is running the port of Super Mario 64 now.

In total we have Super Mario 64 for 18 different platforms ( https://itrunsmario64.blogspot.com/p/does-it-run-super-mario-64.html ), at this point I really do not doubt that someone will port to older consoles like the Playstation and Sega Saturn or even to more obscure consoles like Zeebo.

I do have to note it is actually the DSi in DSi mode. The DSi having a bit more grunt than the baseline DS.

 

[koffieleut]

Still hoping for a wii port 16:9 60 fps

 

[Moon164]

So... not only the Nintendo DS but even the Nintendo 64 got a port.


If Zeebo wins a port before PS1 I will be very angry.

Again I should note it was the DSi, not the DS. Two different devices with different specs.

That video is less of a port from what I can see and compiling the original decompilation, and then again with a few mods which people were doing in fairly short order.

The DS already ran Mario 64 back in 2004. https://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_64_DS
Have people really forgotten already?

I can't believe we've reached a point in the future where it's possible to play an N64 game on an N64.

To be fair the PC has emulated the PC for many years now.

Could be possible. It has been ported to MS-DOS, but the developer said "don't expect it to be playable".

Also, how hard is it to get a PS1 controller with joystick instead of D-Pad? I think the PS1 was launched with D-Pad, which will be a bad idea to use in Super Mario 64. Playing with a keyboard is already tedious. Not anightmare, but tedious, especially when attempting to throw Bowser.

I beg your pardon? I would have sweared the port was fully native. That should be the only reason it reaches better framerate than Project64 on this Venezuelan laptop over here A.K.A. potato.
