Hey guys, some friends and I are prepare to embark on the journey of creating our first home-brew N64 game. What I'm asking here specifically is where to begin? We want it to be playable on anyone's console and we've heard that the way to do this that's easiest is to rom-hack a pre-existing game like Mario 64, Banjo or LoZ OoT. Assuming that's the case is there a best one to start with? Or is it easier to create our own game from scratch?

I have certain ideas in mind but I also don't really know what's possible yet. Does one simply make assets in blender and code them in? Also music, I'm looking to go the Tony Hawk compressed sound file route as opposed to the higher-quality soundfont + midi route. Does anyone here have experience doing this?

I'm sure all this is way easier said than done but we don't have too high of aspirations for the game itself. The general idea is more of an art piece than a game. So exploring some cool environments while cool music plays and maybe a few collectibles throughout is about it.

Anyway, thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read this and provide any help!

Says that correct happens per pixel and takes a while . While the designers do some other clever stuff like look up a base address.

Now the GTE on the PS1 is well documented how it does perspective per vertex. It is a multi step process which sure has like 6 cycles latency.

Bitscan — or does interpolation already use floats? 1/z lookup 2 Multiplication to double the precision multiply 1/z with x and y

Is there a circular buffer to hold and delay all the information about the fragment and keep the scalar pace?

Are there any tutorials for how to actually compile something and run via usb for the Everdrive as I couldn't find anything and my second question is if it's possible to have a console window on my pc to output debug information or if it all has to be set from the cartridge itself and thirdly if it's possible to take in game screenshots

I want to hire somebody to make an N64 ROM that just displays a title screen of my logo and name for the background of my YouTube video, similar to OoT's title screen. How much would something like that cost an amateur or professional coder?

I just came across 2x n64 consoles and am contemplating on purchasing a cartridge. But as I’m so out of the loop, I’d love some opinions please (everdrive?)

Is it possible to use your n64 controller with the transfer on a PC via n64 to usb controller adapter for pokemon stadium on a emulator

I'm trying to give all of my friends a custom N64 game for Christmas - I have the equipment to flash blank carts with the new game, but I don't actually have the blank carts. Everyone I've asked says to just buy some cheap repros and wipe them - but I've heard horror stories about some repros not having the right RAM, or voltage, or ability to save to memory, etc.

Does anyone know where I can reliably get high quality blank carts, or repros I can overwrite?

I wanna find some funny shit to show the homies when I boot up the everdrive. Anyone know of some meme roms or, ya know. Gangnam Style on N64.

Please let me know your suggestions. Thanks

hello there does anyone know where i can find rom hacks that will work on a Pal system i see all these cool moded games but always NTSC and im not sure if would work if i did a shell swap at all

Can somebody make an extremely simple rom of OOt, the only difference being I want to be able to change the color of links green tunic, like a color shader, and keep everything else vanilla. Looking to put the ROM on cart and play physically, 1.0 NTSC version
