Thyme VS sm64

You can run the windows version via wine or proton. For a native versions, not yet but you might want to keep your eye on https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Thyme though it is still a way off being portable to other platforms.

Ah bummer then that's a no go then. Maby one day https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Thyme or https://github.com/OpenSAGE/OpenSAGE could offer a fix.

https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Thyme builds both a DLL and injector.

Are you talking about https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Thyme?

Due to the memory limits of 32bit apps, and the badly-managed memory of the SAGE game engine used in Generals/Zero Hour (memory leaks), it's most likely impossible without Out of Memory errors occurring. Thyme and OpenSage are open-source projects that are aimed to fix SAGE's faults, but I don't believe anything truly workable is available as of this reply.

We also have https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Thyme in development which is being developed along the same lines as the recently released GTA reversing project and targets ZH. It's even playable as it hooks into the original game engine to fill in what is missing.

If this was posted on the back of the recent news about GTA being reimplemented, this project isn't really the same thing, https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Thyme is more like the recently released GTA reversing project and targets Zero Hour. It's even playable as it hooks into the original game engine to fill in what is missing. OpenSAGE is a new engine in development intended to play the same content as SAGE.

The SM64 is still going strong https://github.com/n64decomp/sm64

Nintendo won't allow any binaries floating around though.

Romhacks are typically modifying the compiled binary ROM image. Kaze' work is based on the painstakingly disassembled code from the n64decomp project[1]. He's working in C, modifying the game and compiling it again for the original hardware. Not sure I'd call that a "romhack".

Great videos though!

[1] https://github.com/n64decomp/sm64

A team or something reverse engineered super mario. I think that's the repo and it's mostly in C

From course_table.h and course_defines.h we can find that: COURSE_MIN == 0 and COURSE_MAX == 25 - so it looks like every secret stage is a full-fledged "course" for the purposes of counting stars, bringing us to 25 courses + castle stars (COURSE_NONE). So, the maximum possible value for starCount should be 7 * 26 = 182.

Multi-year decompilation project: https://github.com/n64decomp/sm64

The port source code of the decompilation is still up on github and Nintendo hasn't taken it down in years, cause they can't since everything has been done with legal methods

This is false, the source code never leaked; it was meticulously and painstakingly decompiled by hand.

It sounds like, rather than a ground-up rewrite, COBOL should be treated as an object-code language, and "hand-decompiled" (ala efforts like https://github.com/n64decomp/sm64) into an HLL that can, at every point, be losslessly transpiled back into the original COBOL.

I know the tooling for doing that doesn't currently exist... but paying someone to develop it would be cheaper than any one of these ground-up rewrite projects!
