This might be a hot take, but i prefer the compressed graphics of the original in most games over the 4k rerenders

Fuck it, F-ZERO X at 240 FPS. Why not?

Damn perfect dark would be amazing with online play it was such a good game, and Microsoft pretty much killed it on Xbox

It would also be great at something above 20 fps.

I need 60fps upscaled Pokémon Stadion with raytracing now 😌where?

Nintendo is preparing to sue the proper technologies out of existence. Anyway, what did you say the researchers last names were? First names too if you got them. Nintendo would love an address and possible information on their whereabouts around lunch time. It's all for the benefit of all players out there!

Would the recompiled games effect how ACE works in some games? I'd assume since the machine code is different the exploits used to trick the pointers would be different.

Most likely. The documentation says it can change what was a single instruction on the N64 into multiple instructions, so those values will potentially be very different. It will probably close off some exploits, change others, and even introduce new ones.

Am I the only one who watched the video, and due to nostalgia upscaling my memory, could hardly tell any difference other than frame rate.

I should go look at the normal game 😅

When I saw this post yesterday I just thought "Ha, suck it dumb corporations who don't know how to make their own IP work."

But now that I'm seeing it again I just had the realization "HOL UP, raytracing? N64 Raytracing?"
