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 π

so. For dumb people like me (or just for me to be clear), how do I play those games? i watched the video and read the site. there's a link to the MM gamefiles on GitHub, but the video said you still need the ROMs? or this RT64? I'm old and apparently at some point, you just lose tech savvyness... :( can I get a step-by-step?
Ok I answer her without watching the video or any knowledge:
I assume you need to download the github project and compile it yourself (except there are releases on the right side)
You should follow the readme in the project.
There should be an information about where you should put the roms.
The roms can be (legally) download on different websites. It's legal for archive reasons (afaik).

this was always possible, not sure why people are just now freaking out about it.
I remember someone doing the same thing with NES back in 2013: https://andrewkelley.me/post/jamulator.html
Just so you know, the actual source code for this project mentions both Jamulator and another project that did this for the N64.

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.

I need 60fps upscaled PokΓ©mon Stadion with raytracing now πwhere?
Fuck it, F-ZERO X at 240 FPS. Why not?
I wonder if this will help n64 games run on the retro handhelds. They can already play n64 pretty well but this might help increase the fps
This is really cool. I love emulation it is great to play old games with better options. I would love to see The N64 wrestling games get this type of treatment, I still play Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 often.
