Looking for N64 developers interested in porting Zelda Spirit Tracks to Nintendo 64

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am starting a project to create a Nintendo 64 port/demake of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (Nintendo DS).

The goal is NOT to emulate the DS, but to recreate the game as a native N64 game using tools like libdragon.

I already have:

- N64 toolchain working

- libdragon compiled

- a basic N64 project compiling to .z64

- basic engine structure started (renderer, player, train systems)

The idea would be:

- Recreate Spirit Tracks gameplay on N64

- Adapt the touchscreen mechanics to N64 controls

- Create a single-screen version

- Use N64-style graphics if needed

I am looking for:

- People experienced with N64 development

- libdragon users

- Reverse engineering / asset extraction people

- Anyone interested in helping or giving advice

Do you think this project is possible?

Does anyone here have experience with N64 ports or homebrew development?

Thanks!

Is it possible to create a Super Mario 64 ROM hack from a mobile phone?

0 Upvotes

Hey, I'm super new here, I literally just joined this subreddit, and I've always been curious to learn to program, and I've always wanted to create a Mario 64 Romhack, But honestly, I don't know where to start, what to do, and more importantly, if it's even possible to do it from an Android phone.

I wish someone could help me understand the basics and tell me what to do to, for example, change models, textures, and sounds—something super basic.

3ds single screen romhacks

3 Upvotes

What if people made rom hacks of 3ds games that changed the UI to fully exist on one screen, this is so that people emulating the games on single screen handhelds such as the Retroid Pocket 6 or AYN Odin 3, just throwing this idea out there.

Question about Giygas Strikes Back (new EarthBound revision hack)

2 Upvotes

(crossposting from r/earthbound, this is about the revision hack that came out a few weeks ago but I'm pretty sure the same coding principles apply: https://ebbr.neocities.org/ )

Has anyone ever tried to go into the ROM to change Pokey's name to "Porky"? It's a change I personally prefer and tried to implement myself, but I couldn't quite wrap my head around hex and script editing. If anyone's succeeded or knows of a project that's done this, I encourage you to share it here! Thanks!
