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

Would probably make it liable to DMCA, but I wish they could have the rotating 'N cube' passing through two orthogonal portals on boot up. Looks like a great project. I'm going to have to give it a go on the emulator.

''running ond old HW is probably counterproductive if you only value ecology'' I could be wrong, but i think the opposite than you. You are being reductionist, and only accounting for the factor of direct eletrical consumption during use, and not the total energy and natural resources spent during the equipments lifetime , specially its manufacturing (which i think is the real measure of ecological efficiency we shou…
Citation needed. We're talking about a huge difference in electrical efficiency.
How long before versions are distributed ready to play?
You need a file from the official Portal game, then it's an easy single step with an online tool to generate the demake ROM.
edit: or see bhaney's download link on this thread.

I personally have found there is something of an art to a good readme. So folks can make one that is informative and visual, others can't. I have a project or two that suffered because my readme designing skills suck, then talented friend PR'd a great readme with screenshots and such.
It may be an art, but I wouldn't say it takes much talent to include a screenshot, GIF or YouTube link! Most likely he just didn't give it much thought.

To 'save the planet' you want as many people playing video games, watching TV, or arguing on social media as possible. If they're doing those things, consuming digital entertainment (eventually powered by renewables), then they're not out in the real world, travelling around using fossil fuels, consuming physical products, using up physical resources and emitting CO2. Pretty bleak future though.
Or simply less people, busy doing what machine can't, with a bit less free time to spare. It's as bleak if we put ourselves in the shoes of the humans who wouldn't exist, but not that bleak for the ones who would...
I 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 i…

We should have a digital-DNA-Lineage-for [CODE, GAMES, APPS] etc...
Where in 100 years, we can follow a digital evolutionary time-table-mind-mad that routes us through all the code, apps, games that got us [HERE]..
And it will connect logic of thought and problemsolving through generations.
This is a thing we should through a (NON-HALLUCINATING) AI at?

He should publish an emulated version on steam with an option to download the rom through it. Valve usually lets others use their IP then.
