I played this for 6 hours straight. Lovely port so far but there are some minor bugs. Namely in the point scoring results screen with flickering text sometimes probably z fighting. I also had the mini map get bugged position and overlap the lap times upper right a couple times.

Other thing I noticed was timing differences at higher frame rates like the steam train crossing the desert road.

OpenGL is very slow considering what it has to render. Used Vulkan but I tested OpenGL briefly and it chugged at 2160p with 120hz and frame interpolation on. AA was off.

You can verify you have dumped a supported copy of the game by using the SHA-1 File Checksum Online at https://www.romhacking.net/hash/.

It's so sad that Windows still doesn't ship with an easy-to-use hash toolkit

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Powershell's Get-FileHash does exactly this though.

certutil is built into windows and can be used in cmd.

I do agree there is no built in GUI method though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Indeed. I usually use 7-zip's built in tool to do it when I need to.

Impressive to see that the software can distinguish between a legal and an illegal ROM file

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

lol sarcasm aside, it actually can't. This port is being developed by HarbourMasters, the same people behind Ship of Harkinian and 2 Ship 2 Harkinian (PC ports of OoT and Majora's Mask, for the unaware.)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, I just found the article really annoying at constantly talking about legal roms...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean, have you seen Nintendo?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I know they are psychotic about this shit, doesn't stop me from getting annoyed

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

And 3 paragraphs talking about Mario Kart World.

[–] [email protected] 76 points 2 weeks ago

POV: you ported an old Nintendo game

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I played it on my modded Switch, had to overclock it just to keep a stable 30fps. I hope we get a vulkan renderer in the future.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

PC gamers: Look what Nintendo needs to mimic a fraction of our power.

Not just ultrawide support, but also interpolated frames for super smooth frame rate.

In a nutshell, interpolated frames are basically just extra generated frames that go between the frames outputted by the video game itself. They're used to combat things like motion blur, and to make animations look smoother.
