Me too. I know i’ve said this so many times in the past so i probably sound like a broken record, But i genuinely wasn’t expecting to make it this long. Most things that i’m consistent about don’t last for more than a month. A few months at most
With the title you initially chose, trust me, no one was expecting to make it this long 😀 It’s nice to promise less and over deliver than to promise a lot and then under deliver.
Me neither. When i started it was just me dropping the Screenshot and dipping, i’m much happier with these longer posts though. I’ve thought about changing the title a few times top reflect it and others have suggested it, but at this point i think it’s too late for that
I feel like that would make them much harder to get running on different things. No compiled code means you would have to rewrite the whole game for different instruction sets. Very difficult for anything that isn’t x86.
More attention means more people see it, so even if the percentage of complainers haven’t changed, there are more people who know.
On top of that, there was criticism before. There’s that streamer who was mocked relentlessly in comments and some defending him, there were articles about game developer lobby groups complaining that were posted here, etc.
There are three Tetris versions that are all pretty good and very easy to emulate: The GB version which came with every device, the NES version and PICO-8.
I remember seeing a version of snake that runs on a car dashboard as an easter egg (like, literal dashboard, tiny screen where the gas milage is shown)
If you don't mind revealing (hi ninjas), how were you playing this on PC? Only, there's a lot of options these days. There's the time-tested N64 emulators, but more recently we've got two new methods:
For anybody who's unfamiliar with decomps ports and recomps, they have outwardly similar results but are achieved using very different methods.
Using the old "source code == recipe" analogy, a decompilation is where you purchase a meal and take it back to the lab where a team of scientists painstakingly analyze it to uncover the original recipe that made it, both in terms of ingredients and the cooking method. Once you have that, you can either make an exact copy of the meal or change it to suit your preferences. Dropping the analogy for a minute, you can modify the game any way you like and even go as far as building it for completely different platforms, across as many CPU architectures as you like.
Recompilation is a bit harder to describe using the recipe analogy, because at no point do you actually uncover what the original recipe was. Let's say you have a fancy Klingon delicacy prepared which is utterly inedible to humans. Unfortunately, you are human. Without knowing how it was made, you feed the dish into the back end of a replicator, which puts it back together in a form which offers the same flavor profile but is edible by humans. In this analogy, the Klingon meal is a game built for the Nintendo 64's MIPS CPU, while your human anatomy requires food for an x86-64 CPU. However, you can't feed the output to a Vulcan for the same reason you couldn't eat the Klingon meal.
As an end-user, the result doesn't change that much if your goal is just to play Mario Kart 64 on PC. Decompilation is the more labor-intensive process which eventually results in a more flexible "recipe" you can mix around as you like, while recompilation gets you a meal without necessarily helping you understand what went into it or how to make it yourself or change its composition to your preference. Both of these analogies undersell the amount of work that goes into either approach, so I do apologize for making it sound as easy as the sci-fi technology suggests.
It might be 150CC Mirror lol. I knew the game had one extra mode but couldn’t remember which one it was. My first thought was Mirror mode but then i thought of the jump in DK’s Jungle Parkway and went “No way they’d change the map for mirror mode on the N64” and assumed it was 200 CC
I installed crysis not too long ago to fire it up on max settings. Past me didnt have a machine that could run it when it came out. Uninstalled right after. Justification for better employment.
I saw it posted on here much before it reached the threshold. I think that before then it was really just a few people running with it, now that it has gotten momentum, more people are sharing and we run in similar circles so it can appear to be overwhelming.
Yes, this is a legit thing the EU cares about. However that’s also why I’ve always wondered why they’re soliciting signatures outside the EU…
Didn’t it come out that the people who pushed payroll processors to force studios to censor, have been found out to be a bunch of far right religious extremists who definitely aren’t going to stop here.
