Static Recompilation is the process of statically recompiling binaries into C code that can be compiled for any platform - and it's out now for the Nintendo 64 ! This is all thanks to a tool known as 'N64Recomp' developed by Mr-Wiseguy - it can greatly speed up the process of generating matching C code for almost any Nintendo 64 game. This new method can bring much faster N64 ports to the PC over traditional decompilation projects that can take years and thanks to the modern graphics API RT64, these ports can be enhanced with widescreen, higher framerates and much more. I've tested it and it works. And in today's episode we take a closer look. Thanks for watching!

Doom didn't kill the Amiga...Wolfenstein 3D did
zhlédnutí 441KPřed dnem
Wolfenstein 3D released by id Software in 1992 brought in a change to video games. 2D games were no longer cool and texture mapped 3d rendered games were taking over. However, the ray casting technology presented a challenge if you owned an Amiga computer - it simply wasn't capable of running Wolfenstein 3d and in many ways Wolfenstein 3d can be seen as a major milestone that determined the fat...

    Sorry, but this video is nonsense. The insufficient compatibility of the 600/1200 to the 500/2000 killed Amiga. And the less than average innovations in the "new" line. Not that one game only some geeks were playing.

  • @runner3033
    @runner3033 Před 18 hodinami

    Quite amusing to see the Amiga cope alive and well in this comment section, just as strong as it was 30+ years ago back on the BBS's. You could see that it did some neat stuff and was way ahead of the PC when it came out but by 1989/1990 with the momentum that the intel platform had behind it vs Amiga, it was just a matter of time. In those days a new higher-end PC ($2k) would be able to run to the latest games for about 2 years... then you had to start all over again. The pace of innovation was just crazy, Wolf 3D to Quake II in 5 years.

      Why? They can sell the same game without any modifications and people will still buy it. There's not as much financial incentive to put a group of people on a remaster project for an old game like this. They totally could. They won't because financially it doesn't make much sense.

    This along with OpenGOAL(For the Jak and Daxter gamies) has been huge. As with the Jak games, specifically Precursor Legacy, people have made entire new levels with insane detail and thought that it feels apart of the game. Hell, people have dropped in entire levels from other games and threw on basic collision and it just (kinda) works. Legend of Zelda and SM64 are definitely gonna get the same treatment here.
