Is there any guide to getting this running on a real N64? I have an everdrive.

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
A lot of times a demake is a challenge. Video game technology has evolved significantly, and being able to take a (relatively) modern video game and remake it on much older hardware while still having most of the game's original features is an impressive feat.

Life isn't exclusively about being useful. Challenges like these are great for people, as it gives people a goal to reach that isn't work related.

#33How long before versions are distributed ready to play?
Hopefully before the project is taken down due to a DMCA notice!

#34By far my favourite demake of Portal is this one: https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/451/45101.htm...
There's also a 2D demake for the C64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK140z-ZX4Q

#35> demake Maybe the author will explain what a “demake” is. Nope, he doesn’t. No introduction section, just straight into compiler instructions. You have to make people care about your project, and right now I don’t.
just curious, who made you the boss of what other people "have to" do with their hobby projects? seems like a big responsibility

#36I did not know this concept existed, Wonderful Idea, no doubt demakes would be a lot more frequent if we valued ecology and actually tried to curb digital obsolescence as much as possible, in a permacomputing way.
I imagine it would be much more straightforward to port pretty much any indie games to consoles like Xbox original onwards, PS3 onwards, Wii onwards, maybe Windows 7 average desktop and notebooks (lots of indies already use older direct x and are compatible with windows 7 , another win for the pc master race). The AAA Games would need to be done with less scale and no 4k dlss ray tracing whatever.

I was thinking the same - ecology. People need to have 3d Tetris with raytracing while there are millions of hours of old games to be played through. There are few titles that are avant-garde and IMO better in 3d, like GTA VC/SA, Minecraft is revelation of a sandbox game. But otherwise we don't need such good graphics and DLC, when we want story and playability. Recently we played with kids Pokémon fire Red - the world is huge and full of secrets. But I guess this only applies to me and my kids, because other kids I know (my brother's e.g.) don't like pixel games at all
