Legend has spent years making Portal for the N64 and by Gaben he's done it angielski

Several years ago PCG reported on the early stages of a project by programmer James Lambert, who really loves the N64 and decided for the hell of it to make a version of Portal that runs on hardware first released in 1996.

Well, Lambert is clearly the type of chap who commits to something and then follows through, because he's spent the time since then continually adding bits and bobs and now has something which, to my admittedly uneducated eyes, is the most impressive homebrew game I've ever seen.

Now I want a portal gun in Goldeneye

mustardman,

The Golden Gun. It’s the portal to the underworld when your friends murder you out of frustration.

ShaggySnacks,

Would this Gold Gun be wielded by Odd Job?

Nintendo better not send their lawyers after this guy.

refurbishedrefurbisher,

Seeing as there’s zero Nintendo IP being used, I find that unlikely. The only company that would have any standing to go after him is Valve, and they historically don’t go after modders and such. You also need to own a copy of Portal to play this game. You basically patch a file in Portal with a bps patch that will “convert” it into a playable N64 ROM.

galloog1,

What they need to do is get the licensing worked out and release it via gamepass or something. That would be a nice windfall for him and share this with with others.

refurbishedrefurbisher,

Valve has been known to make fangames based on their IP available through Steam. Black Mesa is a good example.

Of course, this would have to be distributed with an emulator, but N64 emulators don’t require any proprietary code to run.

It feels like just playing Portal natively on the lowest settings possible. Which is a huge compliment, really.

I just want both Portals remastered (or even just ported) for PS5

WiildFiire,

Unlikely because the last portal on console was Portal 1 on the orange box for ps3

papis802,

Portal came out on switch

smeg,

1 and 2 apparently, I totally missed that!

darkpanda,

Portal 2 also came out on PS3 and Xbox 360 but was a standalone and not part of the Orange Box. Portal 2 on consoles was interesting because I believe it also came with a Steam key for the game as well.

Meruten,

As well as a version of steam that ran directly on the console. You could login and chat with your steam friends, if I recall correctly.

Crazy what people can do with the N64 with modern knowledge. There is this German dude on YouTube who modded Mario 64 to run at 60fps on the console, the game normally only runs at around 20fps even with the C compile optimizations turned on, which Nintendo left off in the original, it rarely hits 30fps. Now he’s making his own full fledged mod for the game. https://youtu.be/t_rzYnXEQlE
