Awesome video

All Mario 64 mods suck, and yours is no exception. This is just a wannabe Mario Galaxy, and that game sucked too. Enjoy wasting your time and getting nothing in return.

Link?

now do the same for zelda and banjo and paper mario when they get decompiled (both at 97%)

Yeah, that's a good way to put it. Kaze's content is what we would get if there were never new consoles to replace the N64. I am constantly reminded of John Carmack's whinging against VR developers having crappy frame rates because they don't do any of the essential optimization engineering. Like a crappy Switch port vs a godly one.

@@user-ik8vy1rg8f whinging has a negative connotation though

put Kaze in a DeLorean and send him to Nintendo in 1995 to make the N64 roster even more boss.

Nobody can do magic, outside of the triple restriction: budget, time or features. Professional developers work against that restriction, because the goal is to make money. Creators, on the other hand, can work unlimited time on unlimited features, without worrying about any budget. Not downplaying the job at all, just stating why a game done with infinite time and resources will always be better than one done with a budget and a deadline.

@@GeomancerHT it won't always be better though. sometimes better decisions are made when you can't do "whatever you want".

II mean, I'd assume most of them are still alive. I am sure they are impressed assuming they see this.

@@differentlyabledmuslimjewi4475 true, but it'd be different with a 1990's mentality. me from back then would be far more impressed than me of today.

mine is me thinking as a kid there will be a mario 64 sequel after the gamecube is already out for years. New N64 games, WTF??? That is my time travel thoughts. IF I could go back in time and tell myself there will be unlimited sequels of my favorite games, all made by loving fans, I would have been really happy to hear that, it would have helped me through dark times even. Knowing this thing is coming is awesome!!! I wanna see it! I wish Kaze would make an official physical release of his magnum opus. I would buy it from him signed for hundreds, but I don't want to pay people who rip the game and put it on a cart, I want an official Kaze release, not everdrive!!! Would be siick. If they did a limited run, that could become one of the most collectible things in gaming history. Would be great if people who know about this project can get a copy and that's it, nobody else, no scalpers.

@@ThiagoPagogna The game would still run on the tech of back then, because the N64 obviously never changed.

Don't forget, they also had deadlines to meet, so good enough to ship is what they have to go with, even if they could optimize further.

Now imagine what kind of viusals one can achieve on a PS2 given similar effort! We need someone who can do the same for PS2 ratchet and clank.

@@Thelango99imagine what people could do on modern hardware with this level of effort 😂

@@danisflying the newer consoles are borderline inefficient, its because no one codes anymore and optimizes code, everything is done in tools, and it's bios upon os, upon engines, and layers of shit, and the power is wasted translating one type of code into another, we could easily see many times more pretty graphics, if they really tried to unleash the power, but the console makers won't even allow it

@@damazywlodarczyk not really,today gpu drivers are almost perfect.

@@Thelango99 ratchet and clank was not a ruched out lunchgame like mario64, and sony had very good tools like the performance analayzer.

The advantage of making a modern N64 game is newer tools and less restraints of cartage capacity.

@@WeAreMovieMakers If this doesn't fit on a cartridge, it doesn't run on n64

@@cyberspectre8675 The point is you can make bigger cartridges now

@@cyberspectre8675 Well, the biggest official N64 cart (Resi 2) got up to 64MB, but in theory with bank switching you can go further, and everdrives do. Still, I'd be surprised if a Mario 64 hack takes up as much cartridge space as a Resi 2 worth of FMVs.

@@RAFMnBgaming another engine rewrite... I'm joking of course that's probably a limit of the console . I do know of another console modder soldering a ram chip on top of another one to double the ram. That was original xbox though.

@@lilaa3 thx

@@seronymus bruh wha

Your comment reminded me of a weird false memory of mine, of when I misremembered someone shouting as them shouting 'NINTENDO SIXTY-FIVE!!!!!'

You really had to call us all stupid, though?

@@anotheraccountididntneedto7222 all kids are stupid, they can't help it

Perfect Dark, Turrok 3, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Banjo Tooie there plenty of technically impressive n64 games.

Forgot Rocket Robot on Wheels. I think it was 60 FPS with Half Life 2 like physics

luigikid

in fairness, he has access to far better tools than they did back then. even tho he's targeting the same hardware, the difference in their development environments is enormous.

This is waaaaay beyond rom hacking.

Beyond Rom hacking. This project is powered by the sm64 decomp project. This would NOT be possible without source code access to completely refactor super mario 64 inside and out.

@@Mobius14 Still, you don't see anyone else doing stuff like this

Also add in memory limitations of the cart format.

i've had offers before, but this is the first time i've accepted an offer! i won't collaborate with any sponsors that i don't personally like.

@@KazeN64 A good stance and power to you for it.

@@KazeN64 has Nintendo ever contacted you?

AA turns the 40fps sections to around 36 fps here. the 30fps sections mostly stay 30 though sometimes drop to 28ish. this game will come with an option to turn antialiasing on/off. i think it looks better off though.

@@therealjones-o6x I think the majority of N64 games are lagging enough already even without AA

@@KazeN64 I recall some N64 games have selective Anti-Aliasing, namely some Rare games. For example, they would smooth out only the player and enemy models, and not the world (DK64, and Diddy Kong Racing while in motion, come to mind). Maybe an option for that might be a good middle ground?

@@KazeN64 Glad you cared about allowing AA. I can't stand N64 game without AA, I think it really degrade the look of the games and would rather have the slowdown.

There are some games which truly were optimized for the console (Doom 64 probably being one of the most finely aged N64 games there is) but yeah, I'd imagine most of the library could be substantially improved on the actual console with folks like Kaze sharing his knowledge. And you just know I'll be sticking every optimized game onto my Everdrive.

N64 was weaker than it should’ve been, the ultra 64 had much more powerful prototypes. See the early demos that look amazing.

@@Noobsaibot21 pray tell friend, what is an everdrive?

@@zatchbell5678 It's the thing you always dreamed of when you were a kid (A single cart with every game running on an actual N64). SD card full of roms in the cart and you're off to the races. No emulation or anything - the N64 simply sees it as the legitimate game cart. Great as I can safely store my N64 games and still play them the way they were meant to be played. Also versions for SNES, Megadrive, GBA - almost any cartidge based console. There's also CD variants such as DCEmu (Dreamcast), Rhea (Saturn) etc...

@@Noobsaibot21 I will be looking into this, thank you

I'm curious in general what Nintendo thinks of the skill demonstrated by Kaze.

if you are lucky, ill be able to put in a multiplayer mode too, so that'd be pretty fun!

@@KazeN64 that'd be amazing. Luigi making a comeback? horizontal or vertical split screen? would probably run pretty good considering the optimizations.

First.

@@SoyAntonioGaming congratulations?

@@SuperTort0ise thanks i work hard for it

When programming and art overlap, you get magic.

what is that?

@@KazeN64 have you taken linear algebra?

@@David-bh7hs yeah i finished all the courses for a math degree in university

@@KazeN64 he's probably talking about the Strassen algorithm, but I don't see how it's applicable to your work.

@@KazeN64 I don't know what math the software is doing, but if you know that one row or column is static, if there are any patterns that emerge, it might be possible to optimize the matrix multiplication. You would need to be really good at math to do this.

dariosamo is working on an RTX plugin that would emulate every N64 game with raytracing capabilities!! i plan to make this compatible with it as well.

@@KazeN64 holy

@@KazeN64 hi

@@teomanefe CRIMINAL

Imagine actually welding an rtx to an actual n64, that would be so cool

I don't think it's quite that simple, the hobbyist working environment affords freedoms that aren't present in the context of the professional environment; having your programming and art staff be the same single person allows you to do things having to communicate between people makes difficult. Being able to choose what hour to throw yourself into bed also helps a ton too ha ha

Sore subject. Multiple goldeneye projects have popped up and died out. It's cursed.

@@chriswaller8780 That might be true, Goldeneye's physics system is oddly programmed. I would like to know how it's made.

Things are on the work regarding Goldeneye and Perfect Dark engine. Don't worry. But be patient lol.

@@alainbuschenrieder6024 But I want to see and understand Goldeneye's code.

so true

Kaze has an artist Wife.

Tits?
