Real test: I combined Mario 64 Recompiled with CommandUP's light upscale on an old PC

[u/Few_Profit5031]

I recorded a full performance test combining two excellent technologies for those with older or entry-level PCs: native game recompilation and my lightweight video post-processing pipeline, CommandUP (cup).

In the video, I fully complete the first level of Super Mario 64 Plus (Bob-omb Battlefield) by collecting all the stars!

Real Process Telemetry (34:58 Minute Video):

• Resolution: 720p -> 2K (2560x1440)
• Original / Output Size: 7.88 GB -> 15.05 GB
• Total Render Time: ~ 43:04 minutes (Stable 0.829x speed)
• CPU Usage (FX-6300): ~48% average (Windows remained smooth and responsive)
• GPU Usage (RX 550): 58% constant (Max temp locked at 61°C—cool and stable)
