N64 Ocarina of Time C decompilation - Shiunbird - 11-30-2021

Would be great to get another IRIX binary.

It would sure be nice.

I have the Super Mario 64 port running on my Indigo2 R10000 MAX IMPACT.

It is unfortunately a bit buggy though! :(


The biggest 🐜 in the game is how the 🌲’s appear.

The team that did the SM64 port is different, and I'll let you guys know that performance is gonna be absolute trash for both games.

Display lists and stuff aren't super efficient. Someone would need to write the engine to be actually using OpenGL, and optimize it for MIPSPro to get the best performance out of it.


RE: N64 Ocarina of Time C decompilation - Irinikus - 11-30-2021

The performance is not totally terrible on the Indigo2. (It can definitely be improved upon though!)

I will hopefully be able to capture it properly once I receive my capture card.

The thing that eats most cpu on the Mario 64 port is the audio, at least in dos compiling it having the no audio flags let the game run on an AMD586 133 mhz cpu + voodoo 1 ok.
On a 188mhz K6-2 and voodoo 3 pci run at 1024x768 good framerate (sound disabled also)


RE: N64 Ocarina of Time C decompilation - Irinikus - 12-01-2021

I just corrected my earlier comment! It runs reasonably well on my Indigo2.

Is there an Irix version of SM64 out that isn't all buggy with graphical glitches yet?


RE: N64 Ocarina of Time C decompilation - Raion - 04-30-2022

Nope unfortunately. Just like with SM 64 there needs to be a lot of code rewrites to make it optimized for our systems

Bounty time! $90000000 bounty!!!! lol Smile


RE: N64 Ocarina of Time C decompilation - Raion - 04-30-2022

I'm hesitant to do it for a potentially illegal project. Similarly we don't allow bounties to crack software.

But I would, discretely, donate to such an effort if it was headed by someone I trust.
