    It was alright, MK64, but my only real gripe is the handling. When you start your turn in, the kart strafes opposite of the direction you are turning, which makes small adjustments difficult at best.

    It’s not a stretch to say that n64 romhacks are often of similar gameplay quality to modern titles, albeit with far lower graphical fidelity. With a racer like Mario kart, I’m curious how they’ll go about modernizing it. It seems too fundamentally janky with its controls and visuals to compete with anything within the last 20 years, but I’ve been nothing if not surprised by the ingenuity of romhackers.

      This is not a romhack or a tool for romhacking. This lets the game run natively, on current PC hardware.

        Decomp projects accelerate the rate that romhacks come out through new or improved tools and fresh information about the inner workings of the game. Particularly when there was little experimentation previous to the decomp, as is the case here, to allow romhackers find the game’s kinks. It absolutely is not a romhack or romhacking tool, you are correct. It’s better!

    Good. Maybe now someone can mod it so it isn’t the worst Mario Kart in the series

      I’m probably gonna get flack for this, but, based take, no clue what everyone else is on about. Must just be nostalgia bias, I remember the whole internet singing the praises of MK64 a decade ago, but like, it is really ass compared to any other game in the franchise.

      For anyone who thinks 64 is better than SMK and SC, check out this video and then come back to me. (granted, video doesn’t talk about SC, but like, SC is just an improved version of SMK)

      For anyone who thinks 64 is better than Tour… fair point, but like, the only reason Tour is so bad is cause Mobile. Outside of that, it’s not that bad.

      For anyone who thinks 64 is better than 7… why? The only thing bad with 7 is it’s lack of a single player VS mode. Outside of that, 7 is a pretty good game, although outshined by 8 in every way.

      For anyone who thinks 64 is better than World, chill out, World ain’t even out yet, ok.

      For anyone who thinks 64 is better than DD, DS, Wii, 8, or 8DX, I know you’re trolling at that point.

      Even still, 64 is still not that bad, and I can probably come up with at least half a dozen worse racing games off the top of my head. I’m really excited to see how people use this decomp to actually make 64 a good game.

        I hated on it for so long, but i eventually came around and i kinda like it now.

        It is still the worst In the Series lol

        It’s def nostalgia bias. It is truly terrible.

        no

      I know the driving is bad, the ai is bad, and it’s full of glitches but worse than Super Mario Kart and Mario Super circuit?

      • 4am@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Never played super circuit

        OG Super Mario Kart is a banger all day long and you know it

      • KindaABigDyl@programming.dev ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I think so

    • Glytch@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Wii, Super Circuit, and 7 exist, so your argument doesn’t hold water.

      Sure it isn’t Double Dash, but it’s definitely not the worst.

      source
      • KindaABigDyl@programming.dev ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Wii is one of the best.

        Super Circuit is still better.

        I’ll give you 7. It’s down there

        But the driving is terrible and so is the AI and so are the tracks

      You should play MK7 if you think 64 is bad.

      • 4am@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        7 is one of the best wdym

        They can both be bad

    Playing devil’s advocate here, doesn’t this mean somebody is doing what people are calling AI evil for doing?

    • 4am@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That was already possible. This lets the game run natively on a modern PC, as long as you supply your legally backed up rom image of your N64 cartridge of the game.
