This is the thread to post news about new recoms/decomps.

>>12733056Good idea.
i'm looking forward to the pokemon stadium one in developmenti'd like to see a gran turismo port as well. no idea if one is being worked on
/vr/ will hate me but the Silent Hill port with tps view and actual manual is not so bad imo.
>>12733074I want Fade to Black Shooting controls.
I'm hoping for Spyro ports. Apparently Spyro 1 is almost ready.I liked reignited but I don't consider it as an objective replacement for the originals.The PS1 games with the usual enhancements would be fantastic.
Playing these games without a CRT TV is criminal
>>12733130Nothing stopping you from doing that. Nothing stopping you from playing on original hardware. Nothing stopping you from putting these through a CRT Monitor at 640x480 and 60hz either. The point of a proper source port is total flexibility.
>>12733130Being a deranged tranny should be criminal but here you are
>>12733235
>>12733056>Which ones do you wish got one?The first Snowboard Kids is the one I want the most. SBK2 recomp is sublime and feeling that uncapped framerate without shit framepacing had me wanting for more. I prefer the first game.
>>12733103I just want fade to black that isn't a chore to play.
I want Kings Field 4 and Shadow Tower Abyss recomp with modernized controls, and 60FPS
>>12733248Luckily the same dude is working on a SBK1 decomp right now.https://decomp.dev/cdlewis/snowboardkids-decomp?mode=history89% matched in two months, his previous experience on the first project and using AI tooling has paid off.https://github.com/cdlewis/snowboardkids2-decomp#articlesThe recomp doesn't use AI vibe coding as far as I can tell, and is done to a high standard.
>>12733419That's cool, didn't know they started working on SBK. The SBK2 recomp is top quality so I'm looking forward to this one.Speaking of recomps in general, is there a centrailzed place where I can look up for mods or is it a discord thing?
>>12733419>>12733440Netplay is the most interesting part of these recomps, as racing games lend themselves to it quite nicely. Not sure if SBK is gonna be a huge hit or anything. There might end up with a FightCade like setup for old racing games using recomps as an interface.
>>12733440Decomp.dev does track a considerable number of projects, but it's not a definitive resource.They aren't tracking the Sonic Advance Trilogy decomp project, for example.https://github.com/SAT-R/sa2https://github.com/SAT-R/sa3This is one I'm looking forward to as they're actively working to adapt it into a widescreen PC port with expanded viewing area, from 240x160 to 426x240.It could also be a great candidate for Portmaster ports with 4:3 support on 640x480 displays, it should feel as natural as playing the Genesis games or Sonic Mania if complete.
>>12733475advance games hugely benefit from widescreen
I wanna see the recompiled port of Wind Waker.
>>12733448what's the one racing game with netplay you would want recomp the most?
>>12733056I just want a co-op classic Resident Evil.
That's cool and all, but all the decomps are for 64bit windows so I can't play it on my dedicated retro machine.
>>12733852Don't you have some singing rodents to scream at or something?
I have been so impressed by the PC ports / decomps that I consider them the best way to play. And I even have my orig '90s copies of 4/4 of the ports that I've played.I'm all for it. They feel like how the games should have been all along, like how you remember them in your mind.If you want to play the original, you already can so that's a moot point.
Jet force gemini is in dire need of a recomp with better controls, has anyone taken on that project?
>>12733810>what's the one racing game with netplay you would want recomp the most?Wipeout XL and Wipepout 3.
>>12733852I love this photo so goddamn much.
What recomps have online multiplayer working? I only know of sm64coopdx.
Syphon Filter is a GOATED ps1 game and is better than MGS
Brightis would be cool if only to bump the draw distance out.
>>12734026The game already controls great.
>>12733852At that point they shouldn’t be called pc ports
>>12733056>Which ones do you wish got one?NFS Hot Pursuit 2 PS2.
>>12734871with netplay?
>>12733072>i'm looking forward to the pokemon stadium one in developmentNo shit? Whoa. That'll be cool for online play.
>>12733056>recompGet that crap outta here.
>>12733056does it have twinstick zoomer controls?
>>12734592Can we actually trust multiplayer functionality in these re/decomps, even if you only intended to play them online with people you know and trust?I think Gears2 has some sort of lobby system, and all IPs are somewhat public.
>>12734026>Jet force gemini is in dire need of a recomp with better controlsDidn't they add modern controls for the Rare Replay collection on the Xbone?
>>12733130What does that have to do with the concept of a recomp/decomp? I can play a PC port of any game on any CRT I want.
>>12736169>I can play a PC port of any game on any CRT I want.You can but you won't go through the insane hurdles that getting 240p from your computer needs.
>>12736173Who said anything about 320x240? 640x480 is fine.
>>12733056When?
>>12736183Criminal for games that run at 240p originally. You'll never get it. You'll always add ketchup to food that's not supposed to go with it and tell yourself it tastes nice because you're a child and don't know what you're doing.
>>12736173I have gone through those hurdles tho.It's not really that hard.
>>12736173>insane hurdlesTakes like one evening of research on which GPU to use and the particulars of what you need to connect it to your television.If this is your idea of insane hurdles you're pretty shite at life.
>>12733056is there any project for valkyrie profile? and parasite eve 1 and 2?
>>12733334If by modernized controls you mean faster turn speed in kf4 that would throw the design of the game off. They're already modern besides that
>>12736219https://decomp.dev/?sort=matched_code_percent&platform=ps

>>12733056>Official Nintendo piracy thread!
>>12733810
>>12736967How come the series just died?I've been playing DD1 with framegen and it feels so fun.
>>12736974Reflections got pulled off the IP. Really there are only 2 DD games (maaaaybce 3 if you can overlook the bullshit of raw).
>>12734540rapid racer
>>12736974>How come the series just died?To me it always felt that Flatout stole their lunch so there was no need for DD anymore.
>>12737016DD stopped being relevant long before flatout 1 came along.
>>12736991>>12736967It baffles me how a multimillion sales series can have their developers pulled when there wasn't even a dud.
>>12737030ohohohohoh total destruction!
https://github.com/psxrestore/Condemned2Recomp
I want Duke Nukem Time to Kill with a level editor please
>>12733056>Which ones do you wish got one?Tekken 3, tag, 4
>>12733334>Not the earlier, jankier 15 fps titles>the most accessible, modern ones firstwuh?
>>12733056tried condemned 2 but it's unplayable with mouselook and it runs worse than on xeniarecomp is such a meme
>>12737971It's all case-by-case anonski. Some of these are bsaed off of toolkits which can create rebuilds of multiple games, but you have to heavily work and rework the specific recomp to make it work smoothly. just be patient.
>>12737675KANGZ Field 1-3 have meh abstract graphics. Shadow Tower and King's Field IV have nice graphics. Simple as that .
>>12733056Panzer Front
>>12738557that's be good.
>>12733852The source code is right there, just patch it and build for whatever ARM chinkheld you own.
>>12735992Sure, I don't see why not.It'd probably have to be built from the ground up, though.
Gran Turismo / Gran Turismo 2 recomp would be fucking cool to see. Last time I fiddled with its binaries in Ghidra, the machine code was encrypted mostly it seemed.
Can't wait for the day emulators are rendered obsolete
>>12739883Cry more tranny. Buggy AI recomp garbage will be abandoned once ai tokens spike up in price.
The first Tenchu game
>>12733056NGB and NG2, apparently both are currently in progress but I suspect xbox will release backwards compatibility ports on PC before then.
how are they able to make a symphony of the night recomp but the decomp isn't done yet? Someting ain't adding up.
>>12733056>Which ones do you wish got one?Goldeneye would be good. I played the perfect dark one and it was really good. Maybe Duke Nukem 64 would be good too. Pretty much any old FPS really
>>12741254Decomps aim to produce code that is human readable and can be compiled back into the original game for its original platform. Dynamic recomps just use whatever to produce a native binary.
>>12739883You're doing it wrong, if you want to turn enulators obsolete you have to flood their pull requests with thousands a day of 9-page claude vomit of bullshit no one will read until they go closed source, and then flood the net with forks that have more name variations than a manga aggregator website, like with the healthy state of switch emulators today with vibecoded UI with more memory leaks than your tranny ax wound.
>>12742169>flood their pull requests with thousands a day of 9-page claude vomit of bullshitThe future is so bright I gotta wear shades.
WHY CAN'T I DISCUSS HOMEBREW BACKPORTS ON THIS BOARD? If someone is porting a decomp'd game to lower end hardware that fits this board's scope is that not something that is allowed here?
>>12742251Huh? We used to have threads about those just fine.
>>12742314I got a warning from the moddies about trying to discuss the attempt at a Saturn port for Sonic Mania, even though I only started the thread because the equivalent DC thread fell off the board already.
>>12742338Well, shit... There's a dedicated general thread for homebrew and hacks, maybe the jannies would be more lenient if you posted it there.
>>12742338Did you report shitposts before that? This is what mods do, if you make legitimate reports on /vr/, they look for excuses to b& you. It's been like this since the 2 AI spam threads a few weeks ago (the MGS2 source code leak one and the faux marble spam)
Any sites that can help differentiate between recomps and actual ports worked by people?
>>12743665look for decompilations instead
>>12733852You have no retro machine you lying dipshit.You have nothing.
>>12733056Anyone play the Castlevania 64 one? How do you enable the memory card on that shit? In game the white crystal doesn't work cause it thinks you don't have a memory card installed
>>12744076is it alright?
>news about new recoms/decompsHow about somewhere (good) where there's a list of completed ones?
>>12744901https://github.com/CharlotteCross1998/awesome-game-decompilations
>>12744920he asked for completed ones
>>12744920a lot of WIP, but if it's the best list, then whatever i guess
>>12733074I'm interested in that but AI coding and the dev being one weird dude makes me uneasy about how safe it is. Most other big recomps are by a large team with more people checking shit and general accountability.
Ace Combat 6 recomp reached version 1.0https://github.com/sal063/AC6_recomp/releasesJust put the ISO in the same folder as the .exe
Ridge Racer PS1 decompApparently it hit 100% yesterday.https://github.com/kazuyette/rr-decomp/
>>12737675>accessibleShadow Tower Abyss requires a bunch of hacks to get rid of the blurry bullshit and interlacing and even then its not 100% it emulates like garbage unless in software mode.plus they run in 30fps it would be nice to have 60fps support without breaking the game
>>12747889it looks like it's just raw asm
>>12747889Ridge racer is one of those games where I feel a decomp isn't really that useful - the game world basically doesn't exist beyond the 4:3 viewport and it runs at a locked framerate (25/30fps sure but it never wavers unlike most games of the time) so it is a game that just werks and works well. These projects are best done on games that don't run well on native hardware imo.
>>12744870Plays fine and it looks smooth and it's 60fps, but I don't know how to save in game
>>12748078Ridge racer is more akin to a demo for the PS1 than a real game. But having a proper 60fps port with full wheel support is nice, and you would't have to deal with the nonsense of MAME or anything. But the bigger fish are the later Ridge Racer games, namely 4 and V which are considered fan favorites. New ports, with new options, hell maybe even new physics options? That would be nice. I'm also really curious about some of the PSP racing games getting decomped and ported since they are stuck on a shitty tiny console and osme have nice graphics and depth.
>>12748085Oh and speaking of this, I do think there's a possibility (albeit small) of a fight cade system being created around these kinds of recomps. Right now a lot of the retro racing netplay is built around discord groups (ugh), which is likely teh best option now. But if enough recomps are made of racing games, then a single front end could be created, with netplay to allow to jump between them and challenge people.
>>12748078Considering the RRT4 tech demo exists, a decomp definitely would be useful.Integrating full analog controls, 60fps and optional 480i could be a massive improvement for it.
>>12733056Both SM64 Plus and Ghostship have manual camera control now, but I think the implementation in Plus is much better. It doesn't feel right to me in Ghostship but I'm not really sure why.
>>12748936Never mind. I just realized it's because of how analog control works for the Lakitu camera in Plus. It works totally differently in Ghostship. I think the manual setting in Ghostship is the Mario camera in Plus. Idk man it's confusing.Anyway the camera I like is the Lakitu cam in Plus w/ analog control.
>>12748936>Ghostshipwhy did they choose the most stupid and generic name
>>12749603it's a reference to jolly roger bay i tink
>>12749687but it's a sunken ship not a ghost ship
>>12749767more obscure reference for sm64 nerds
>>12747889I'm glad that I have zero nostalgia for this glorified tech demo
>>12747889Actual pc port>Status: playable race slice (phases 1-7, rounds 1-60).Seems most game logic and rendering is done.https://github.com/kazuyette/rr-pc-port
>>12747889>>12748078>>12748085Ridge Racer is fucking meme.
>>12750175gb2 /v/
>>12750175It's ridge racer!
>>12750175For 1994 it was an insanely good tech demo. Don't look down on tech demos for being tech demos. Namco's early 3D games put the PS on the map and sold copies. Tekken, Tekken 2, Soul Edge, Ridge Racer, Ace Combat. These games defined the PS in 1994-1995, in a critical junction when it needed to show itself off. Most of the very early PS games were barely playable shit 3D tech demo games.
>>12733852So much SOVL in one image
>>12750945>SOVLcringe
>>12733056Just tried this F-Zero 64 PC port that was finished recently. It works greathttps://github.com/Zorkats/G-DiffuserThere's some tiny graphical issues, a little bit of pop-in but it's barely noticeable, compared to Project64 it's hardly anything, and it might have been like that on original hardware I'm not sure. It plays really well and the widescreen is really good, you can remove the black borders the original had too. Worked with my gamecube controller too. It needs 3 different roms to run it but I was able to find them easily.
>>12752634...also I had to convert my .n64 rom to .z64 format. There's an online converter for that too if you google it
>>12752634They included everyrhing from the 64DD version as well in one package? Amazing
>>12752801I think so. It has a bunch of extra cups to pick from
>>12752860Are those public domain or do you have to supply a disk image? They're just included? huh
>>12752925you have to supply the roms. The game rom, the 64DD game rom, and some other 64DD romhttps://github.com/Zorkats/G-Diffuser#quick-start
>>12752947I see, got it installed. I read the readme too quickly as usual. I thought the 64DD expansion kit was some kind of additional hardware bios for the device.120 fps interpolation looks pretty cool
bmupI'm playing Majora's Mask (Zelda Recompiled). Doesnt anyone know if there's a mod to play ocarina with the D-pad? those yellow buttons binding suck on a normal controller
>>12754635Doesnt -> Does
>>12754639Can't you rebind them yourself?
>>12754660Not really because the D-pad is already used during gameplay for quick access to equipment.
>>12733074The silent hill playable trailer GB demake deserves a mention
>>12754668Pretty sure d-pad shortcut for equipment is opt in/opt out in the settings
>>12736991>>12737030did reflections get pulled off the IP or did they just make something new and different
Waiting for someone to do something with the Mercenaries leak.I saw someone compiled it for PC a few months ago but I don't know if that's a public project or not.I'd be so hyped to play this COOP.>>12736187In progress I thinkhttps://codeberg.org/KeybadeBlox/JSRF-Decompilation
>>12754668Ship has it. I don't know about Recompiled.
There is now one for Spyro 1 lmao
>>12755334Was gonna check it out, but there was no Linux port.
>>12755203Yeah that's why I asked, it seems very practical in Ship but I started on Recompiled. I might switch.>>12755037I would like both active
>>12755040They didn't own it - psygnosis did and reflections were making driver so didn't have the manpower for another DD game so 989 studios got the job for raw. IIRC sony published arenas as by the time that came out psygnosis was fully absorbed by sony and no longer publishing under their own name.
>>12750175Shut the fuck up, grog.
>>12733056How the hell do you get this to work? I can't find any .exe file. And yes I have the ROM in the folder.
>>12755753you couldn't find syphon_filter.exe in the root folder?
>>12755762he got syphon filtered
decomps remove/leave out the soul of a game. I dont even want to discuss or argue here, dont bother responding.
>>12755771You're confusing decomps with recomps/ports, retard.
>>12733056Has anyone EVER tried to forkand update the super metroid pc port with hi res and romhack support.Seriously though.Also when pc98 mechwarrior 1 and mech2+gbl+mercs decomp?
>>12755771Trying too hard shartranny, fuck back to your new subreddit.
>>12755762That's exactly what I searched for and it's not there. Had zero issues with the Perfect Dark port.
>>12755753if you're using windows, check if windows security quarantined the exe, that can happen sometimes. In which case you should be able to go to windows security settings and restore it
>>12756209Can you imagine that clean untextured cockpit in crystal clear 4k. Is decompiling simple old Dos games really that hard when they're doing it with PS2 and Xbox360 games?
>>12756385F-15 strike eagle 2 got a nice decomp
Where can I check out the decomps/recomps? I want to know if someone is working on making a classic RE game into co-op.
>>12756442don't know if it has everything coming out now, but this page is pretty goodhttps://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Game_engine_recreations_and_source_ports
>>12733056I've tried Ghostship (Mario 64), Starship (Star Fox 64), pd-x86_64-linux (Perfect Dark), Ship of Harkinian (Ocarina of Time), and Zelda64Recompiled (Majora's Mask).Of the bunch, Ghostship is the most prone to crashing, but it has enough cool features to motivate you to fight through it.On the other hand, Zelda64Recompiled is completely solid. It is stable and perfect, and without a doubt the best of the bunch. They're planning on adding support for Ocarina of Time "soon," and I can't wait.SoH has cool features but it has serious issues, notably analog stick diagonal input. Mapping C-items to the right analog stick results in a lot of misfires because of weaknesses in SoH's programming.Perfect Dark is the game that benefitted the most from a recomp. It's a night-and-day difference to be able to play with a mouse and keyboard.And I don't have a lot to say about Starship because I launched it and suddenly remembered that Star Fox 64 is kind of boring.So there.
>>12757280>Star Fox 64 is kind of boringGet good. There's a reason they remade it 3 times.
>>12757280>Perfect Dark is the game that benefitted the most from a recompThat's what I reckon too. It works great and the FPS controls are so much better with mouse and keyboard, and 60fps instead of 15 or even like 10 on the Chicago level on original hardware. The F-Zero X one is probably my 2nd favourite so far with the full widescreen instead of being squished so much on the 64
>>12757280>>12757324PD was already playable on m/kb + 60fps with that special emulator, but it's nice to have a real port
>>12757280>On the other hand, Zelda64Recompiled is completely solid. It is stable and perfect, and without a doubt the best of the bunch. They're planning on adding support for Ocarina of Time "soon," and I can't wait.>SoH has cool features but it has serious issues, notably analog stick diagonal input. Mapping C-items to the right analog stick results in a lot of misfires because of weaknesses in SoH's programming.it's too bad because harkinian has a lot more cool new options includedhttps://github.com/HarbourMasters/2ship2harkinian/releases/tag/5.0.0
>>12757476The SoH crew should get back to basics and fix the broken stuff instead of preoccupying themselves with randomizers.
>>12757490that's the part morons get excited about, so it gets more attention
mgs1?theres a project on github but i think you have to build it yourself and it still ends up running on an emulator? so kind of defeats the purpose i would say
>>12757948its weird one of the most influential games hasnt been properly decomped yet, but mgsilauncher makes it trivial to play on modern systems so a "port" isnt really necessary
>>12757490i dont care about randomizer stuff, it has dozens of cool options outside that mode
>>12757471the emulator one doesn't run very well on my computer, it's like 20 fps with sound issues with glide and there's graphical issues with jabo. The port works perfectly though
>>12757948I'm wondering if the recent leak of the MGS2 HD port will have any influence. No idea how much of the original code is in there compared to the updated port, and beyond that how much the engine of 2 overlaps with 1. It could be entirely different for all I know, but if not I'd imagine they people can probably learn from it (while of course legally pretending like they never read it).
Wing Commander games are getting decomp aswe speak at wcnews discord.We may see a super wing commander 3do port for pc soon.As wc1
i have recomp fatigue
>>12744076>>12748084Bump for this
I wish someone would do a recomp of Stunt Race FX! It's a great game, it would be awesome at 60fps and with smoother models, better draw distance.
>>12757972probably because there's already a PC version

>>12762310Someone posted this before but I don't know any detailshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9se8p-uk6E
Goldeneye is 100% decompiled now apparently, just happened yesterdayhttps://www.xda-developers.com/n64-classic-goldeneye-007-100-decompiled-paving-the-way-mods-and-ports/I think they're still testing it or something. There's no releases yet on their github page. I've been waiting for this one for ages though, the Perfect Dark one was really good so hopefully it's similar to that
>>12733056Hoping for more 360 games that PC gamers never got to play.
Gran Tursimo 2 needs a decomp, and I barley need to explain why: mods and netplay.>suddenly can port a number of tracks from other games to it>can compete on netplay>can do LAN as well if need be>could revamp the entire campaign and arcade modes >could do total conversions: take another game and under the hood have it be GT2>could restore all the beta and cut content
>>12757948>>12757972>>12759752i would love if someone decomps the vr missions, just for the idea of being able to create more vr stages
>>12733918No you're wrong, if you didn't play at 20fps with drops to the single digits every time there's an enemy on screen, you didn't beat the game.
I don't know if this is the right thread to post this as this is not exactly a decompilation. We're a small discord community that aims to extend Joey the Passion and maybe restore Yugioh Online 3: Duel Accelerator to a playable state and maybe put up a private server. The latter is going very slowly and a lot of people have quit. But when it comes to former, we've achieved a major breakthrough. One of our members, kekhan, reverse engineered the game in summer of 2025 and has written a program in C++ and C# that hooks into the game's process and enables scripting of the most basic engine primitives. Our aim is to eventually bring full GOAT format in JTP. Here are some videos of our progress:https://files.catbox.moe/d5rdil.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/soqhqg.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/jlegmo.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/k9b71k.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/1t15zb.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/nt1snr.mp4When he's online again, I'll ask him to upload BLS - Envoy of the Beginning and Breaker the Magical Warrior videos.Here's the link to the github repository if anyone is interested: https://github.com/bitemydusto/YGO-PoC-Toolset/releases
