sm64 VS sm64ex-ios

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!

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!

Can't get to build the latest 1.2.1 version on M1 Macs https://github.com/ckosmic/sm64ex-ios

Does anyone have a working .ipa of sm64ios ready to be installed with AltStore? I've tried building it myself following the instructions here but I just can't get it to work. If someone could share it with me it'd be much appreciated

If you would like to try this out, you will need to build it from source on your Mac: https://github.com/ckosmic/sm64ex-ios. Just follow the Xcode build instructions in the Wiki, but switch your build target to the Apple TV rather than iOS.

only if you apply the 60fps patch, there's a brief explanation on how to do so here

With a recent post stating that SM64 has been ported to ios, I went to the original post and found some instructions on how to compile an ipa for use on iOS devices. All I did was follow the instructions on how to build an ipa and uploaded it to my repo. It works fine on my 6s/14.3/Taurine, but YMMV. I also uploaded a link to a raw ipa to install via AltStore/ReProvision, however I couldnt install it for some reason. If someone else wants to help me out with that I would appreciate it, because I may not have much time to look into it myself.

No it’s in the sm64ex-ios folder https://github.com/ckosmic/sm64ex-ios/tree/ios/enhancements
