The end goal is probably a native PC version of the game.
Imagine if someone handed you a burnt cake and said “make this exact cake, but not burnt.”
If you can perfectly recreate the burnt cake, you’ve at least verified your ingredient list. The next step is to just bake it right.
There is now source code for the ROM, which makes creating ports and mods significantly easier.
The initial goal of most decompilations is to produce a 1:1 match of the original ROM. That’s how they know they’ve got a perfect representation of the original code.
Yeah, I thought this was able to be built for PC. If that explains why there was just N64 roms in the build folder.
I’m not sure what good this is. It takes a mk64 rom and turns it into a mk64 rom?
Does the new rom run better or something?
Idk what we’ve gained here
