Do you play them or do you prefer playing on emulators?
>>
>>12258752
Emus, gotta have my save states and fast forward
>>
>>12258752
The Zelda ones are pretty good. I haven't played the Mario 64 port since it came out like 5 years ago, but for everything else, I just emulate.
>>
>>12258752
Not worth playing since all the romhacks are stuck on emulators unless you really want to play Mario 64 online.
>>
i enjoy emulting on handhelds, like my hacked vita, switch and android phone, so all those native pc ports are completely worthless to me
>>
>>12258752

Emulate or original hardware. These decomps while good for exposing certain things in the code and expanding knowledge about these games or finding out things that have been bugged for ages like Mario 64 and the broken smoke animation when he's burning, outside of that I don't like or use them.
>>
>>12258752
n64 in high res/fps looks uncanny and retarded and I question the taste of anyone who thinks that an improvement.
>>
They're cool and offer some nice features especially the Zelda ones. They're worth a playthrough or two, it's neat to play these 240p 20fps games at 8k 300fps(not that I necessarily think these games look good at high res but its a novelty).
>>
>>12258752
Playing Star Fox 64 at high framerate felt like a breath of fresh air, and has completely reinvigorated my interest in replaying it over and over for different routes and gunning for the medals.
>>
>>12258752
IMO these just show how flawed the N64 is in general. Ain't nobody out there claiming Super Mario Bros or Mega Man X needs a "decomp"
>>
>>12258752
SM64 is a dramatic improvement with 60fps. That said, mouse camera is a huge meme, just having the higher framerate is enough. Don't care for the other games.
>>
>>12259158
Its not about needing them as much as it is benefitting from them. Ironic you mention MMX when it has slowdown issues at times.
>>
I want recomps of certain games like Quake 2 and the Rare games. I would also like high FPS versions of the racing games like Mario Kart, Beetle Adventure Racing, RR64, and Pilot Wings 64
>>
>>12259158
I'd love to see more decomps of Sega Saturn games. It has even more going for it in the realm of being
>very hard to emulate and port from
>fundamentally different in its approach to 3D graphics
Most of the N64 games being decomped are the most popular ones that can be emulated almost perfectly and have been re-released a dozen times over.
Later gen Saturn games that use the hardware better - stuff like Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining Force 3, Burning Rangers - have a distinct visual look to them
>>
>>12259246
Most decomps allow you to build any version with a compiler flag.
>>
I've only used the perfect dark one but it's nice to be able to play it with m+k at 60fps without using that hacked version of 1964

if all the games i played growing up received second and pc ports, yes, they would be the preference over emulation, no contest.
ge007 would be a big win because then the community could re-implement cut features and content, effectively revitalizing the original project to complement the film and enhance the jb experience.
but that will never happen outside of a clunky romhack.
>>
>>12259267
a pc version of panzer dragoon 2 would be awesome since I don't think they're going to remake it, not that the remake of the first one is very good anyways
>>
>>12259429
I'm especially curious to see how a modern GPU would recreate the "smoke and mirrors" element of VDP1/VDP2 graphics.
>>
>>12259158
There are literally several expansion chip hacks of MMX to address the slowdowns, and someone was even going as far to attempt porting it to Mega Drive to make a definitive, slowdowns-free edition.

Perfect Dark PC port died out because the guy working on it quit before Modding could be implemented so we could get shit like the hd mod from the rom hack and custom maps.
the game is 100% playable

>>12259237
>quake 2
just play the remaster, through whoever was working at nightdive on the model side before milennia was hired, didnt add green eyes to enemies and more contrast
I was going to do that but i got fed up with the retardism of map center
>>
>>12259485
I actually found that N64 quake 2 PC conversion has already been made. https://youtu.be/QPzA4KJRXlo
>>
>>12259565
it only covered unit 1
>>
>do you prefer beating the game or not?
>>
>>12259583
>am i a 4channer now guys
back to sharty with you since you dont play videogames at all
>>
>>12258752
>oot recomp never
I knew they'd abandon it but I'm still disappointed
>>
>>12259624
You don't seem to be aware that it's in very active development and that Wiseguy is taking his time because he wants it to be extremely full featured and capable is basically everything people want out of it.
>>
>>12258752
>better performance than original hardware
you didn't beat the game
>>
>>12260374
>very active
>taking his time
>>
>>12258754
Why even bother playing the game if you're not going to play by it's rules?
>>
>>12259485
Any notable forks from the PC port?
>>
>>12261381
The multiplayer fork works.
But again, PD needs modding support and tools to survive
>>
>>12261216
Because it makes them better and more fun? Like eating ice cream with chocolate syrup?
>>
>>12261102
110% more accuarate
>>
>>12258752
Emulators because none of those garbage PCs ports let me play favorite romhacks and I don't have to play riddles to download an hd8k Ocarina of Time.
>>
>>12258752
call me when the port fzeroX to psp and ogxbox
>>
I just want PC ports of all the party games. Getting my normalfag friends to configure an emulator for more than 30 seconds is off the table.
>>
playing Goldeneye and PD with kb+m is essentially cheating, same with having a stable high framerate

they become totally different games and are way WAAAAAY too easy
>>
>>12258754
None of the games that got ports need those though. Are you just bad?
>>
>>12259158
the games you mentioned are 2D, there is very little in the way of enhancements/fixes/optimizing to be done with 2D titles.
at least not anything worth decompiling it for since most of said issues can be dealt with in emulation
>>
>>12259402
How do I use this??
>>
>>12262195
oot needs it
>>
There’s a fucking Goemon recomp?!
>>
>>12262502
Oot needs neither save states nor fast forward. Again, are you just bad?
>>
>>12262502
What does OoT need save states for? You can save the game at any point and at worst you spawn back in either Kokiri Forest or the Temple of Time.
>>
>>12258752
without n64 controller these games are dumb. emulation is not real gaming.
>>
>>12262576
there have been N64 to PC adapters for over 15 years, you dumbfuck boomer
>>
>>12262580
Hell could even just use the ones they made for the Switch
>>
>>12262576
I find many N64 games work great using a GC controller with a mayflash adapter. The stick ranges aren't going to be identical, but it's better than using something without a gated stick.
>>
>>12262580
>>12262591
switch is not retro. mario 64 is not a pc game. i play n64 with a n64 controller, not mix and match like some third worlder.
>>
>>12262603
But I can run Mario 64 natively on my PC without any emulation involved, using an N64 controller adapter that has less input lag than an actual N64 console.
>>
>>12262603
>consoom secondhand retro consoles from scalpers online, or else you're a third-worlder!
thanks, but i'm sticking to emulation. i'm not going to pay 3 figures for 20+ year old plastic LMAO

also emulating is simply more convenient, since you dont have to buy multiple consoles and switch cables all the time lol
>>
>>12262619
>>12262625
how’s the weather in brazil?
>>
>>12262630
hot i assume
>>
>>12262630
>having options is brazilian
I can play Mario 64 on my actual N64, but I'll keep playing the PC port instead just to make you mad.
>>
>>12262636
Can you port other n64 games to PC? This will make me absolutely furious...
>>
Nice to see that thinly veiled e-celeb advertising threads are allowed now. I can't wait to see all these discussions about the youbuters lives!
>>
>>12262625
>switch cables all the time lol
bro you’re not retro
>>
>>12262580
It's hilarious how posthuman babies imagine that nothing existed before they were born. Even more hilarious when that causes they/them to out they/them selves as a 15yo.
>>
>run game on PC in HD
>send to TV over composite
best of both worlds
>>
>>12258761
But you can play these pc ports on other hacked consoles thats sorta to plus too.... i just beat OOT via Soh on switch running 60fps and in 1080p proper widescreen with a anolog camera
>>
>>12258752
PC ports are way better, the issue is there's not many of them. Idk why nerrel and wiseguy doubled down on the "it only takes 2 weeks" stance for recomps.
>>
PC ports are cool, but without RetroAchievements support, it’s a hard pass.
