Homebrew Super Mario 64 (1996) Port for DSi

[banjo2]

Can someone use the same way that genius did to port SM64 to port GTA 3?
*I could've made it a thread but can't cuz I'm new*

Not enough RAM, not enough juice...

With the source code, I don't see why it couldn't be done in some regard, but the question is who would want to do it

There's no way that's gonna happen.

No.

GTA3 is not a Nintendo 64 game but a PS2 game and there is simply no way to port a PS2 game to the DSi.

Thank you all for your generous answers.
I did enough research to find out that it's possible with enough time & determination to port Liberty City Stories with low textures and low distance. All I have to say is let us all just hope for it

Why not port it to the 3DS? it still would be difficult but it'd be better than the DSi. Hell, even a Wii or Wii U port would be better if I'm being honest.

 

[Ahmeteled]

I'm not really a coder. If I was, I'd leave my education for porting GTA LCS on the DSi.

I know for a fact a game that's like GTA 3 for the DS. It's "C.O.P: The Recruit".
I wonder if someone would have made rom hacks for it. It's be cool tho ._.

I know there haven't been any real updates to this in over a year, but I finally felt like coming back and working on it some more. I pushed a fix for the screen tearing that was happening when loading textures, and I also implemented fog as close to the N64's as I could. Here are some screenshots:

There's definitely still more I want to work on as well, so hopefully my motivation keeps up. Unrelatedly, I recently streamed myself playing this; if you're interested in nearly 3 hours of gameplay with derpy commentary, you can check that out here.

Any plans for a 3DS version?

Not right now. Maybe if I write a 3DS emulator and get a good understanding of how its GPU works

Are the optimizations from Kaze's ROM hack able to be ported, once its source releases? I assumed not previously because iirc, it changes things already rewritten in this port but I want to make sure.

I'll have to see the source once it's out. General optimizations should be fine, but anything specific to the N64 might not help much.

Or use one of the 3DS emulators that already exist.

aboood40091 has updated his Wii U port as well, sm64-port is on fire again.

;-) great work

There's a 3DS port as well. It works great and has stereo3D support even.
Also, you can play this on 3DS

 

[Ahmeteled]

Can we port rom hacks using this?

If a hack is based on the latest version of the SM64 decompilation, it should be pretty easy to port. I haven't tried any myself, but someone else was able to get the low-poly Render96 models to work.

But it's slow in old 3ds.

not really. It's not full speed but it's damn close. Much better than dadlueaux64 emulation of the game. And it looks much better than mario64DS (and i assume this port too)
