Software Engineer. I like reverse engineering N64 games.

Hey all, I wrote a Diddy Kong Racing renderer for https://t.co/kn41TFeuPx! You can view all the tracks from the N64 game inside your own web browser. Check it out here: https://t.co/tXOrRhAuhq

@redbunfnf It has been a thing since mid-2020. A few people at a time have slowly chipped away at it. We just hit 100% a few days ago!

[David @Davideesk]

@falco_girgis @Shes_Kerosene @TSRStormed I started the decomp 6 years ago in July 2020. I would say 99.9% of the decomp is non-ai. The person who matched the last 4 functions did have help from Claude fable. The code looked good to us, so we accepted it.

@ReanimationXP @natalie_thenerd From what I’ve read on the forum. It should be possible, but is difficult if you want both ports to be fully in USB spec.

@JacksonLinder @macrumorslive They mentioned that the pros had “more memory” in a single sentence during the presentation, but didn’t say it anything else about it. Can’t find anything about RAM in the tech specs page.

@DefaultDNB @Thunderfang7 From what I remember, the main issue with DKR is the custom graphics microcode Rare made . There will need to be some rendering code made specifically for DKR. Same reason why there isn’t a recomp of DKR yet.

[David @Davideesk]

@Thunderfang7 @DefaultDNB Just so you know, a decomp is separate thing from a pc port. The decomp makes it easy to mod the original N64 game. It’ll probably be a different team who will make a port from the code in the decomp.

@Volvagia224 Imagine being scalped by the leader of your own country. Just gotta hope it’s only a minor price increase. 😭

@transmutrix @falco_girgis Also, I believe the Saturn also had a vector processor for 3D math calculations. Example: https://t.co/OnhgOrmnjE

[David @Davideesk]

@transmutrix @falco_girgis The N64 also has SIMD instructions (on the RSP processor). Integral for 3D graphics and audio.

@HSVSphere I do all of my regexes on https://t.co/xDleHTPHsi. It’s fantastic.

Ah, yes, I remember playing Balatro 95 back in my dad's office

@Treydemark_ @BringBackBanjoK That was a myth, btw. https://t.co/zCxfS2q018

Mario Builder 64, a SM64 ROM hack I built with @arthurtilly413, where you can quickly and easily build custom levels in-game without having to learn confusing ROM hacking tools or C programming

[Displaced Gamers @DisplacedGamers]

Has Ghosts 'n Goblins for NES ever felt a little... janky to you? What is up with the frame rate? What is wrong with the sprites? Can we run it at 60 fps? (spoilers: yes)

Majora’s Mask Decomp reached 100% today! Huge congrats to the team who worked on it!
