    Mario 64 was probably the first video game I ever played as a toddler in 2003. It's a little hard to describe the sense of happiness I feel, seeing this game worked on in such a unique way with so much love. My jaw is officially on the ground, had no idea the GBA was capable of this

    • @jsbarretto
      @jsbarretto  Місяць тому +185

      Agreed! That so many early 3D games had a fixed angle camera is unfortunate. One of the things that made SM64 so groundbreaking was the dynamism of its movement, and the camera was a big part of that. It's important to me that I replicate that same feeling here.

    • @Arcad3n
      @Arcad3n Місяць тому +51

      @elio7610 Місяць тому +11

      ​@@jsbarretto the problem is that the player's control over mario's movement is relative to the current camera angle, so if the camera angle changes then mario starts changing direction too. this can be very annoying when the camera automatically and unexpectedly changes angle while the player is navigating a dangerous area. this can be solved either be having mario's (or any other character) movement direction instead tied to something other than the camera angle or by the camera angle only change when the player makes it change. it is not necessarily something to worry about in this project since this project is mostly just replicating the original SM64 experience rather than improving it or anything but i am just saying. i actually found this problem more noticeable in Gex: Enter the Gecko than SM64 but it is an issue in both.

      @@jsbarretto I'm referring to 32 bit consoles of the 90s, namely the playstation one and sega saturn. They're able to render basic 3d models, the gba on the other hand is not capable of that. I've always thought of the gba as an upgraded super nintendo (16 bit console) in terms of graphical capability. The nintendo ds is much more of a "proper" 32 bit handheld than the gba. No hate on the gba though! It was my first handheld, and some of my fondest gaming memories are with it.

    • @jsbarretto
      @jsbarretto  18 днів тому

      @@Mrcoconutgun But the fact that they're 32-bit doesn't really have anything to do with their ability to render 3D graphics. Sure, it might *help* if you can manipulate a fractional value in a single register, but it's perfectly possible to write 3D games without that. The difference between the DS and the GBA is primarily that the DS has hardware support for polygon rendering, but again: nothing to do with the side of the registers.

    When its running on the GBA itself, the low resolution, I think, helps mask a lot of the imperfections.

    Porting Mario 64 to what's essentially just a powered up SNES is unbelievable!, I've seen some really impressive 3D games on the GBA before, but nothing that is as mechanically complex and with so much content as mario 64 before

      I've been having a few ideas. Pushing the hardware to the limit is good fun, so I think it would have to be something a bit absurd. I'm thinking open-world, Bethesda-esque. Think Daggerfall, but with an interesting landscape. I don't know.

    I was struggling to see how this would look on an actual GBA, and the picture-in-picture view gives you a good idea. It looks pretty damn good when you shrink the window down. Either way this is incredibly impressive and truly exciting. The GBA is probably my favorite device to date so it's amazing to see it continue to get love.

    I feel like the hud/sky and game world should probably be rendered at the same resolution, the noticeable disconnect between what you can see in the 3D world and on the hud/sky just feels a bit jarring IMO
    very minor nitpick though, overall this is crazy impressive
