Homebrew Super Mario 64 Port

[CeeDee]

If the source code is also available in that leak, I imagine someone could continue working on it...

Except I would rather see an "official" port, even if the legality of it would be questionable.

The progress done on the PC port has been seriously impressive, and I hope it gets ported on more platforms.

It's just a compiled 3dsx, unfortunately. It seems legally okay-ish, considering it needs a ROM to run, so it's a shame the release of it seems so dubious instead of just doing a dang GBAtemp thread like a rational human being.

Seems like whoever is releasing is making changes though. It’s already on the third “public” release in a week

Yeah, I've noticed that! They added a savestate feature in, apparently, using ZL and ZR. Still no sound effects, though. It's nice that it is continuing to receive updates, but I still think I'd prefer if it were more publicly released, with source code, on a GBAtemp thread or something like that that isn't just... a YouTube channel.

Wait so everyone else isnt fine with Mario 64 DS controls? I always used them and thought they were fine, both button and touch screen.

Just be patient people, I'm pretty sure that a proper and stable port will be released soon, as it is completely possible and there is definitely people very interested on this.

The impression I got, and generally shared with most I ever spoke to on the matter, was it was an impressive tech demo (firing it up for the first time I did not expect anything as good as what we got as every previous attempt to map a stick/mouse to dpad and unprecise controls or split the difference on the PS1 for those without analogue controllers, failed miserably), however if you played it initially with stick/sticks then it was never as satisfying -- if I fluff a jump in N64 Mario 64 then it is because the level design, the camera or my lack of talent, if I fluff a jump in DS Mario 64 then the controls were frequently a factor and something I had to consider rather than just being second nature (in an earlier post I used the phrase expression of my will and N64 or equivalent did feel like that).

Is this what we have all been hoping for?

Nice, will try it once I'm done working

I told you everyone lel

Is this what we have all been hoping for?

Yes

I'm curious as well to see.

Yep, this one works basically perfect on n3ds. You will have to compile it yourself though, since the assets are included in the 3dsx.

Worked great for me!

Hi. I am the developer of the previous 3DS port that was posted earlier. I can answer some questions about my project here. I am looking to get into contact with Gericom, ideally through Discord or something similar since I am new to GBAtemp.

I really enjoyed your port. It was very user friendly as it required that the user supply the ROM only and did not require any compilation. Would you be able to do the same thing using Gericom’s code?

 

[DSoryu]

I have tested Gericom's fork and is quite a blast, it really shines on the 3DS as the resolution is native with anti-aliassing enabled, something you must see to believe! I will play with the code later on my free time and try to use SM64DS assets instead.

The only thing the original has over the first, controls aside, is resolution, AA and sound quality.

can the n64's blur filter really be considered antialiasing?, sure, there aren't many jagged edges, but at what cost?

SM64DS has actual antialiasing.

I soooooooo wish I could compile this as I would absolutely love to test this

Btw.. my private messages are always open if anybody needs to talk about anything

Do you think there will ever be a simpler way to set this up down the line? These installation instructions are confusing me, probably because I've never used Docker before. From anyone who's done it, is Docker easy to figure out and follow along these instructions with without extensive coding knowledge?

The readme is unmodified. You just need the 3ds stuff from devkitpro and some dependencies which are needed to build the sm64 decomp in general. I guess using linux or wsl is preferable.
