Mario Kart 64 has a PC port now.
https://github.com/HarbourMasters/SpaghettiKart

thats cool, but why?

>>714214325 (OP)
Nice, I hope we get something like Mario 64 co op. 8 players with new racers, tracks, and items

>>714214427
Online play eventually

>>714214427
because every console game deserves a PC port. everything needs to be preserved and enhanced.

>>714214427
because n64 emulation is still pretty fucked, and this opens the door for tons of modding and porting

>>714214427
Why the hell not?

>>714214427
easy to run online Mario kart with amazing mod potential and no Nintendo niggery, what’s not to love you fucking idiot!

downloaded it, but Mario Kart isnt worth playing solo. Ill wait a year for the eventual coop dx program Mario64 has.

>>714214325 (OP)
Neat
What features does it add?

>>714214662
Because just play mario kart world? Elimination mode is so lit with online play.

>>714214767
It's still in alpha, but right now it's got the bare minimum like controller support, widescreen, 60+fps support etc

>>714214830
>Because just play mario kart world?

Hopefully someone adds more mario universe characters from the n64 era and older.

>>714214325 (OP)
The character pics and item boxes look a bit better than the modern games

BROKE NIGGA ALERT

>>714216071
You know well enough that they can't actually call it Mario Kart.

>>714214325 (OP)
Hopefully they'll actually fix it with some mods at some point. I loved MK64 growing up but it feels like ass to play now. Honestly I'm not really sure how they'd do it without ruining it for people who still enjoy it how it is though. As much as I have nostalgia for some older games 64 is just bad imo.

I'm picking the fat jew

>>714214427
Too bad nobody said that about giving birth to you.

>>714214470
What's the difference between a PC port and the decomp thing?

>>714216930
The decomp is what enables someone to make a PC port.

>>714216251
What about MK64RECOMP?
What about MARIOKPCPORT?
Fuck Reddit!

>>714216071
Mad over nothing award

Nintendo needs to be informed of this.

WE ALREADY HAD THIS THREAD LAST WEEK NIGGER
NOW IS MK64 HD COMPATIBLE WITH THIS YET?

>>714217007
What's the best way to enjoy the game on PC

Is there a cental site for modding specifically decomped games yet?

That's nice but I really want a Diddy Kong Racing PC port. I'm just gonna keep playing the Star Fox port while waiting for that game to be done. Thanks for asking.

>>714218483
>Diddy Kong Racing
Still seething about that ds port

I played it, and there are some weird bugs. For example, in VS Battle Mode, my friend and I got nothing but bananas. We tested it, we just sat on the blocks for like 5 minutes and didn't get anything other than bananas.

Also, squishing people who were struck by lightning doesn't work either.

It just desperately needs an online mode and it'll be good to go. Setting up N64 emulators for online play is broken as shit and feels awful every time.

If we discount skipping laps exploit, MK64 basically has no bad tracks. Maybe rainbow road for being too long but I personally like it.

Just reported this to Nintendo

>>714219513
I remember hating banshee boardwalk as a kid (skill issue) but it's good now
There's some pretty good romhack custom tracks that should be pretty easy to port over

>>714214325 (OP)
If it doesn't have online play yet, I don't care. If we can do /v/eekend MK64 rooms, I will care.

>>714216930
Decomp is just the games code. A port compiles all that code, along with the games assets and gets it to work with PC hardware.

>60 fps
>widescreen
soulless

>>714214830
I'll play both

>>714219513
Wario Stadium isn't very good and it's just ugly.

Great now we have to deal with 64Snoys

here he comes, right on schedule >>714219960

>>714216402
Just remove the spinouts from flicking the analog stick or ramming into a slope. Otherwise the game's slippery physics are a guilty pleasure for me, even though CTR has objectively better controls.

>>714214830
>why do you want to eat burger, just eat hotdog instead

>>714221107
uh oh anon here comes the scatological food analogies

>>714217145
are they released? id rather use them than this

>>714214661
I see people parrot this but for complete normalfag shit like mario kart and zelda it's been pretty accurate for well over a decade if not longer

>>714214661
Have you been living under a rock N64 emulation has gotten way less shit these past few years same with PS2 and Saturn

>>714216402
pros:
>Best battle mode
>Best tracks
>Best artstyle (which is kinda sad but I just really hate the bloom and gray of modern games. The HD pack helps a lot)
>Best voices (seriously fuck modern toad voice. The rest are classic too.)
>Items aren't OP (if anything red and blue shells barely work but I prefer that over item rape and cheating bullet bill)
>Overall simple. I kinda like that there are no karts to pick, fewer items, and a small roster. Wouldn't mind if they added a few character tho.

cons:
>Controls are a bit meh
>No CPUs or music with 3-4 players (can probably be patched)


Just my opinion of course don't rape me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Does it have transition tracks? Someone should mod them in.

>>714214325 (OP)
neat

no double dash with online no deal

>bing bing wahoo port
>sanic autism port
>more bing bing port
GT5 PC port when

>>714219513
Toad's Turnpike is ass.

>>714214325 (OP)
Are decomps superior to emulation? I figure recomps are, but I haven't seen a performance comparison for decomps.

>>714223437
This. How am I supposed to enjoy the game if I can't drive from Luigi circuit to Toad's Turnpike

Diddy Kong Racing sucks and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't.

>>714214325 (OP)
These decomps are coming out fast, didn't the Sonic Unleashed one come out earlier this year?

>>714223634
Emulation adds extra layers to accomplish the same thing so it's going to be inherently slower in a lot of cases but can be mitigated with ahead of time recompilation, etc.

>>714214830
>buy a shit tablet + online fee
no thanks

>>714223795
It sucks so much that Nintendo decided to copy the story mode formula with Mario kart world, get real retard
I love mk64 but racing has so much more going on, plus a two player story mode behind a cheat code

>>714223572
when snoys develop more autism

>>714214325 (OP)
64 is overrated, if I am to play retro Mario Kart I'd rather play Double Dash or Wii, tough honestly no Mario Kart game gives you as much content as 8 Deluxe, add some mods and the booster DLC and it blows World out of the water.

>>714219513
wario stadium is fucking dogshit, there's a reason it took so long to finally get a remake

>>714224406
but doesn't 8 run good on ryujinx? I think it even has online

>>714223876
different projects are worked on by different people. this is the (tranny) discorders that ported oot and star fox

>>714224406
>x game gets a recomp or decomp'd port
>WHY NOt Y, FUCK YOU
everytime

>Duke Nukem: Zero Hour
>97% done
So close yet so far

>>714217904
The port is a little buggy still so I'd say emulating it is probably still the best way

>>714219876
turn them off then

>>714216071
>am I fitting in?

>>714214325 (OP)

>>714214325 (OP)
Cool, now do a game that matters like S&P

>>714214325 (OP)
Me waiting for the online mp to happen so I can spam nigger in the /v/ chat after the race.

>>714214662
Because if you wanna play mario kart you can just emulate double dash which is a way better game

>>714214325 (OP)
The Mario kart games worth playing are after 64. Congrats to the devs though.

>>714214830
>>714216072
>play a good mario kart game for free
>or play a shit mario game for $500
>WTF WHY ARENT YOU PAYING FOR SHIT!

>>714214325 (OP)
No it doesn't. A bunch of pirates stealing the game from Nintendo and illegally putting it on an unauthorized platform isn't a port, it's a crime.

>>714228661
usually these ports require a rom to work, even if just as a check

This is "one of the greats"? Obvious port issues aside
>same shitty handling quirk as DKR where turning will make you swing wide in the opposite direction for no reason
>delayed drifting from the jump feels like ass and can outright drop your drift input
>schizophrenic item odds

>>714214427
because every game should be open source and run on everything

>>714214325 (OP)
Never heard of this decomp ever starting. What happened to Paper Mario?

I forgot how brutal the rubber banding is in this game

kinda hate that they fucked with the cpu characters, now they're either piss easy or modern MK fags spamming lightning all the fucking time. I'd legit rather have rubberbanding than this gay shit

>>714228937
it's finished but the actual homosexuals won't release it for whatever stupid reason

Fucking gay. Can anyone share the actual recompiled exe for the game? I trust you, guys.

>>714214325 (OP)

>>714229796
That's illegal. Dump your cart like the rest of us did

wow if only there was some way to get the rom on the internet, fucking faggot

>>714216072
SUNK COST NIGGA ALERT

>>714229910
It's gay because it's not an actual port, it's a decomp-recompilation tool. No port=difficult to make changes. This team will never achieve anything other than making the game work natively on PC.

>>714230070
>This team will never achieve anything other than making the game work natively on PC.
do i look like i care about this team? they gave us this and it works perfectly. i dont give a fuck what they give us after but right now they gave us something that works at least

>>714230242
>and it works perfectly
lmao
no the fuck it does not
they just rushed this out a week after with tons of bugs and no mod support because they dont want to wait for n64 recompiled

>>714230326
>with tons of bugs
i had zero bugs except for it crashing everytime i finished a circuit but by then i dont care about saves
>no mod support
i have heard zero news about this from the team or mod developers. right now i would like to see the hd mod ported but idk if thats due to a lack of tools or its just brand new
>they dont want to wait for n64 recompiled
nigger its more free cake at this point

>>714218646
>>714218483
I never bothered with that game because it was "not Mario kart", should I in current year?

>>714230559
>more free cake
more like free shit
i'll be waiting for a proper port with n64 recompiled, thank you very much!

>>714230948
>i'll be waiting for a proper port with n64 recompiled
k, i'll be occasionally playing mk64 on pc and ctr while i wait for this proper port

>>714230948
Speaking of recomps: the hell is OoT Recompiled, anyway? I prefer the way Recomp plays MM over 2Ship, but that OoT section on Zelda 64 Recompiled is STILL unusable even over a year later.

>>714214325 (OP)
It's not as good as playing on a CRT

>>714214661
>because n64 emulation is still pretty fucked
It has been perfect for years now, it's you guys that just keep using Project 64.

>>714229812
>congrats to PC players
Congrats to consolefags for paying $60 again to play a ROM dump with online lag and rubberband AI. Meanwhile, I'm running MK64 at 120fps with texture packs and button mapping that doesn't feel like it's from 1997. Cope harder.

>>714229812
>congrats to PC players, they can now play a 20+ year old game I have to pay for, but hey, it looks slightly better!

>>714222269
>but for complete normalfag shit like mario kart and zelda it's been pretty accurate for well over a decade if not longer
No it isn't. Emulation struggles just to render Zelda's fucking pause screen.

>>714229176
Then change it back, retard. It's an option.

>>714214427
so some autistic nerd can port it to dreamcast

>>714214325 (OP)
Easily the worst fucking mario kart I've ever played, it ruined a night of mine where I tried to play it with my family because for some god awful reason, it doesn't play music in multiplayer, genuinely the worst mario kart

>>714224062
>Nintendo decided to copy the story mode formula with Mario kart world
God I wish it did. I love MK World but man free roam is barebones.

>>714237426
It still absolutely blows my mind that the N64 had no dedicated sound chip and so many cycles were wasted with creating intentional blur and antialiasiing that there was no processing power left to play music in multiplayer. Like what the fuck were they thinking.

>>714214325 (OP)
How long for a mod that replaces the prerender sprites with full retro shaded models?

>>714216251
They can, Recomps seem to be safe as long as they don't distribute even a PNG of the original

I won't be playing a mario kart without wall/rail riding

>>714229334
I'm sure I can play at least a couple laps of MK8 before the CTR remake loads into a race
CTR on PSX is indeed a more solid game than Kart 64 thoughbert

>>714229812
I cannot respond without sounding mad, so I will not

>>714238635
Well there is an HD pack that has re-renders for all the sprites which the dev said will get ported to this soon: https://github.com/GhostlyDark/MK64-HD
and they do have the 3D models that were used for those renders, so it's just a matter of someone modding the codebase to get something like that working.

>>714224062
The core problem with Mario Kart World is that open world was a "fix" for Zelda, which was declining badly in the 2010s, so they applied the same "fix" to a series that had no such need for "fixing". In other words, they tried to fix what wasn't broken.

>>714239369
We know 3D racers are possible in MK64, it was already done for (of all fucking things) Supra Mayro Kratt 64.

>>714239369
I think the HD prerenders look great and real-time models (even MKWorld) don't look as good.

>>714237264
Worked fine on simple64 for me

>>714239928
>werks on my machine
lmao no it didn't

>>714239824
they only did it because full-on model replacement would crash emulators, hell, this even crashes specific emulators

>>714214325 (OP)
You know AI can make HD versions of these sprites. I would be interesting to see a mod like that.

>>714237426
>it doesn't play music in multiplayer
wrong, somebody just turned off as this can be easily done by mistake by pressing L (or was it R)

>>714240454
Kys street shitter >>714239369

>>714240454
it's been done, and you wouldn't be able to do it with just AI, retard. These aren't regular textures

>>714240704
modders wasted their time. AI could have cut the labor by 99%.

>>714233736
Ok anon, what is the best N64 emulator?

I used Parallel/Parallel Launcher for B3313, Rosalie Mupen for Smash Remix, and I know there's some purple Project N64 fork or something too.

Such a peaceful game compared to World.

The insane rubberbanding on 150cc is stupid and ruins MK64. Even as a kid I knew they were obviously cheating. Your job as a developer is to obfuscate that shit.

>>714241201
yeah this is the biggest issue. 64 emu as a whole is significantly better than something like xbox, but you need to fiddle around with different emus and plugins depending on the game and use case

>>714214325 (OP)
I like the 120fps

>>714214427
So they can add Sonic, Spongebob and Skibidi Toilet as racers

>>714241281
I actually think it's one of the best things about the game. Instead of the AI vomiting red/blue shells and lightning on you, it just rubberbands so that you're constantly fighting for 1st. It's a more fair kind of bullshit.

>>714214427
thridworlders that cant afford mario kart on the switch 2 or got their console bricked for violating the tos

>>714240316
whatever faggot

>>714241724
>That's "perfect" N64 emulation
pfft

>>714241760
List 64 things wrong with it

>>714241787
64 lines of pixels with that abhorrent screen tearing going on

>>714241760
I never said it was perfect but it's good enough for non autistic people. I'm glad future generations can play n64 slightly better without having to buy real hardware or fall for the mister meme though.

>>714242039
>I never said it was perfect
>>714233736

>>714214325 (OP)
on one hand i'm really glad this exists and want to get into some hardcode modding for it but on the other hand i remember its mario kart 64 and drifting feels like absolute shit to get a boost out of so i'll pass

>>714223580
it was cool to pretend like i was driving on a real road though

>>714242475
it's a little known fact that you can remove the drive indexing from that library on your pc and any emulator will be able to pick out individual games from the data mass by header data alone.
oh wait, no. i just confused garbage data with most of the n64 library.

>>714214325 (OP)
Is star fox 64 out yet? I'd really love to play Star Fox but at an acceptable framerate. Also why the fuck has no-one fixed Star Fox SNES....

Oh Frick yeah, thanks bud

>>714214325 (OP)
what's the status of the banjo kazooie decomp? i know that the C decomp reached 100% compatibility with the ROM ASM a few months ago but they still needed to actually give human readable names and context to a majority of the C translation for it to be of any use, but surely they've gotten pretty far in that by now? That stage is dramatically easier than the ASM to C stage

How in the fuck do people port a game like this? I wanna learn too.
>t. techlet

>>714242819
Don't stress about it, just shut up and consoom.

https://jakmods.dev/ goated

I'll just emulate Mario Kart World already on yuzu nightly

>>714242819
it's tough as nails to get into, i've been trying for years.
for one there's decompilation which is manually rewriting console CPU instructions back into some higher level language. this can take years because firstly CPU instructions are not intended to be presented well to humans but are presented as efficiently as the compiler of the original source code would allow for the target hardware, secondly the compiler will make many optimizations when writing to assembly language which makes taking those instructions back into the higher level language often obtuse and nonsensical without a sixth sense for what the original intent was, and lastly there's just so much assembly to go through that writing it out back to the original language is a very very long process.
for another there's recompilation, this part skips writing the assembly back to the higher level language by hand at the tradeoff of what was written to that language again only really being useful to the original CPU as to un-fuck the auto-translated source code to something developer-malleable would take just as long as decompilation even if the upside is that it has a lower barrier to entry.
if you're really serious about getting into this, the closest you're going to get for a starting point is looking into cybersecurity, reverse engineering has a serious real world use case for cracking and patching malware so you could take what you learn from there and apply it back to video game decomps.

>Their OOT port is the best PC decomp port ever made
LOL
It doesn't even render the graphics correctly. You'd get more accurate rendering emulating the game on a 15 year old built of Project 64.
Their too preoccupied adding retarded speedtranny "features" and shitposting on their insular circle jerk tranny discord to even make sure the port is even bug-free. Fuck them.

Yes, Diddy Kong Racing is pretty great. It's worth playing just for the David Wise OST alone.

The only thing SMK has going for it is that was innovative for 1992

>>714250297
Sure it does, Zelda never renders perfectly at higher resolutions. It's very accurate, that.

>>714254114
it still feels unique to play, MK64 doesn't have that going for it

Call me when the HD mod is ported and an online mod is created. Otherwise I sleep. Mario Kart 64 kinda blows,

>>714225472
That game looks like shit. I supposed it'd be a bit more tolerable if it didn't run at 15 fps, but the bones still look like a 6/10 game.

>>714218483
There's no port but I think there's a romhack that makes it run at a stable 30fps and an alt patch that runs it at 60 but with minor gameplay issues
