Static Recompilation is the process of statically recompiling binaries into C code that can be compiled for any platform - and it's out now for the Nintendo 64 ! This is all thanks to a tool known as 'N64Recomp' developed by Mr-Wiseguy - it can greatly speed up the process of generating matching C code for almost any Nintendo 64 game. This new method can bring much faster N64 ports to the PC over traditional decompilation projects that can take years and thanks to the modern graphics API RT64, these ports can be enhanced with widescreen, higher framerates and much more. I've tested it and it works. And in today's episode we take a closer look. Thanks for watching!

SUPERMAN 64 4K 60 FPS WITH RAYTRACING LETS GO
-
the fans do what Nintendon't
-
The developers of Golden Eye saying "We fixed all glitches that didn't occur on our N64" shows that they genuinely cared about providing a faithful reproduction. It reminds me of an "emulator bug" that is sometimes being reported for Dolphin, stating that there are weird graphics artifacts in F-Zero GX. Closed as "happens on console too"
-
Nintendo just downloaded this decompiler and is about to sell us every single N64 game on Switch 2.
-
Remember when decompiling to remove AP code in a game was considered a slow and tedious one-by-one process? How far we have come... Having universal recompilers could make software preservation a lot easier in the future
-
Back in 1999-2000, there was a Nintendo 64 emulator named "Corn" which used static recompilation to run the games. People had success running Super Mario 64 on a Pentium MMX.

The next generation of emulating: Porting the entire thing to your device

The N64 mini has surely come a step closer now.
-
i bet the sm64 decomp guys wouldve liked this
-
I'm excited for a Star Fox 64 PC port one day!
-
Come on Conker's Bad Fur Day! We need a port of it!!!!!!!
-
I really can’t get over how terrific the ergonomics of the MM recompilation are. There are AAA games don’t handle window resizing, gfx mode changing and controller mapping as well as it does. I have a laptop with switchable GPUs and didn’t even realize I was using the integrated one for a few hours. It’s insane.
-
Woah you showed Duke Nukem: Zero Hour. I feel like nobody knows how good that Duke game is. It's my hope that it is one of the early games that gets the recomp treatment. I looked into it myself and saw it was quite a bit out of my wheelhouse.
-
Wow, what a game changer! The widescreen HD Zelda looks incredible!
-
WWF No Mercy in widescreen and 4K with actual FMV videos and high quality audio for the entrances would be awesome!
-
The autosave can really do some weird stuff in this game. I got softlocked in Great Bay Temple, so I quitted the game and started back at the start of the temple. The dungeon "restarted itself", its chests not being opened anymore, but I still had the cmap, compass and stray fairies. I had 21/15 fairies after having beaten the boss
-
Wow man. I didn't know recompilation meant this. Can't wait to recomp Wipeout 64, bumping up the framerate and resolution.
-
Ooh! How about F-Zero X, with the expansion kit, and the ability to add your own track decorations or change race options to create 20, 50, or 100 lap endurance races! (Of course the option to change retiring on fall out or power loss to a time penalty would make such a long race actually possible.)

you better have a damn podcast for tech stuff, i could listen to you all day. kudos for making me fractionally less depressed.
