SM64 PC Port

Yes, we know about it. No, it's not allowed on the leaderboards. If it is ever completed and released (intentionally, not an incomplete version leaked) we'll talk about adding it to the leaderboards. I'm going to lock/delete new threads about this

I'm pretty sure he did not just see it. I think we all get it.

Not sure what you're saying, this thread isn't directed at anyone in particular. It's just a catch-all because people are going to keep asking about it.

Aside from legal concerns, the PC port loads content way faster than emulator/N64, leading to much faster times if it was used. So even ignoring legal concerns, there is no way that the port will be a fair option on the leaderboards.

The problem is that it isn't an official version of the game.

This is the first version of the first port. The decompilation project is still alive on GitHub. I'm pretty sure that there will be some updates and / or new ports. I think creating a new subcategory would be a good idea. I don't have a cartridge of SM64 and I got problems with the emulation because of my slow computer, but the port works just fine... I don't think I'm the only one.

The difference with EMU is that the ROM itself is an official version of the game. You're just emulating the console.

I mean technically the source code is the official game but you have to provide the game assets in order to build the game.

Why don't we make a Super Mario 64 PC port subcategory?

maby i can be like the IQplayer or what ever its calld and get it's own leader bords

I'm pretty sure the version released not only isn't incomplete, but it also wasn't "leaked" they just pretended it was leaked so Nintendo doesn't go after the person who did the port, if they pretend it was leaked they are safe.

The current released version is perfectly capable to handle runs as it is. And everything about the loading times and "official" stuff was already addressed in the thread.

I agree, the PC port should be in a separate subcategory and if load times are a problem, the source code is public so shouldn't it be possible to make the load times the same regardless of system specs.

Maybe I'm missing something, but if fan games are allowed here, mods for official games are allowed too... why unofficial port wouldn't be allowed?

Just make the PC Port as It's own leaderboard

Does the port allow for a higher frame rate & resolution?

It wasn't intentionally leaked, it was very much leaked against the will of the majority of the people working on it. It is likely that it will eventually be it's own subcategory and perhaps timed without loads like some pc games do.
