  Perfect Dark with dual analog controls is something I’ve wanted to exist and now it does! No Mac support though, gonna have to maybe take another look at clearing things out to make room for boot camp.

    Both perfect dark and goldeneye had dual analog support on the N64, though only in single player. Was my first experience with dual analog and all my friends thought I was nuts holding two controllers. Then the Ps2 came out w dual stick and we never looked back.

      Not sure about Perfect Dark (never played it), but Goldeneye had the control mode where you hold the left and center grips which was quite similar to dual analog. Of course, that was moving with the d-pad instead of moving with an analog stick, so not quite as smooth on the movement front, but it was definitely a step up from the default control scheme while not being quite as unwieldy as using two separate controllers.

      Holy freakin moley I never knew this, that means I might be able to give it a shot on my mac sometime even without this new port. For anyone else as unfortunate as me that’s gaming on an old mac, I found the tutorial for how to set this up by Eggyhead.

    There was actually an Xbox 360 port. It’s very hard to find as it was only on Live Arcade and it’s since been delisted (afaik), but it had updated graphics and native dual analog support. I managed to find a ROM and run it on an X360 emulator a year or so back but have no idea where my files ended up.

      They borked the analog sensitivity. It’s trash.

  That’s awesome news. I love these old games getting pc ports and quality of life features.

  nice, I didn't even hear someone was doing a de-compilation of this.

  Does it, or will it later, have online multiplayer?

    It’s not my project - I just stumbled upon the repository and figured I’d post a link here - but from what I have seen so far it seems to be a faithful re-implementation so far, so no online MP. I checked the open enhancement requests, and found none. Maybe open one to ask whether they’re considering it?

    How would they even retrofit that…? Maybe it could do splitscreen through something like Steam Play Together, at most.

      Nintendo 64 emulation with netplay has existed for 20 years.

      These modifications are possible because the game has been decompiled back to modifiable source code. At this point they can add anything to the game with enough dedication.

    Looking at their GitHub page, I’m gonna say no. You need the ROM file of the original game, so while it looks like they’re doing some things like key bindings and increased frame rates, I’d be shocked if they went so far as to implement something as complex as online multiplayer.

      They need the rom to dump the assets. They can’t legally redistribute those.

  My favorite game of all time. I can’t wait to try this out.

  If anyone has this running on Steamdeck, lemme know.

    I just tried this out a little bit ago. I couldn’t get the Linux version working but I downloaded the windows version, added it to steam, set the proton version to the newest one (.8 I think? it had an 8 in it) and it worked pretty well

    haven’t tried changing any settings but beat the first mission without any issues 👍
