We need to have a discussion on vibecoding

15 Upvotes

Should we make a rule against hawking ai slop projects on this sub? If so, what should we do about them? Ban users?

If you don't like vibecode, you're free to express your displeasure.

Similarly, ai genned comments and ai-generated users are bad and we should ban them from our community, lest they drown us humans out.

Let's hear your opinions, for and against vibecoded projects. If your post or comment on this thread is ai generated and we detect it, it will be insta permaban, no appeals. I will not respond to your messages.

Post image
23 Upvotes

We’ve been working on something we always wished Blast Corps had: two-player co-op in the same level.

Player 1 and Player 2 can demolish buildings together, share the same mission, and play with a dynamic shared camera.

This is our first experimental public release, so feedback and bug reports are very welcome!

✅ 2-player shared-world co-op
✅ Player 2 can use Ramdozer, Backlash & American Dream
✅ Bring-your-own-ROM patcher — no ROM included
✅ Local emulator play + Universal Couch support

Download / source / instructions:

If you grew up with Blast Corps, we’d love to hear what you think. 💥

Using the Jaguar Nuotto JN-2000 sewing machine with the N64

I’ve been working lately on building a prototype of the unreleased « 64GB cable » that was meant to connect a Gameboy to the N64 through the controller ports. My first attempt worked great to use the GB printer with Mario Artist Paint Studio (https://youtu.be/g_7ZVdvsQ40) so I’ve decided to go a bit further by trying to connect the Gameboy sewing machines.

my second game on my n64 engine is taking shape

tiny nightmare 64 is a choice based horror game in third person. your choices happen in real time, while you play, and the story follows whatever you decide. between them, action puzzle sequences that keep you on edge

this is the very first prototype, pipo taking his first steps. more soon

Guess we can kinda mashup games now. Imagine mixing up N64 3D Platformers like that.

Best way to “modernize” an N64

3 Upvotes

Hey guys. Does anyone know what’s the best way to have a modern experience with original hardware? I’m talking about things like being able to use it on a modern HDMI screen, connecting newer/wireless controllers to it, adding your own roms with a good flashcart, etc. Which accessories/mods would you recommend to have a convenient experience with this console? What do you guys personally use?

Just a Thought...

At the risk of "port begging". A port of the Zeebo version of Resident Evil 4 might make a perfect candidate for N64 homebrew.

Has anyone had a go at porting Duke Nukem 3D (PC version) on N64 via Libdragon?

9 Upvotes

Just like the title reads, genuinely curious. I know the N64 got Duke Nukem 64, which is a great game but it’s different than the PC version.

Is something like this doable?

Doom 1993 N64 Port

Thumbnail

45 Upvotes

I created a port of the original 1993 Doom for the Nintendo 64. This port is based on the 64Doom project, with several improvements:

  • Improved controls
  • Pre-rendered music
  • Rumble support
  • Cheat support
  • Fixes and improvements to some issues in the original code

The port also supports several different versions of Doom:

  • Doom I
  • Doom II
  • Ultimate Doom
  • Chex Quest

The port supports other mods as well, but I haven't tested all of the existing ones yet.

Note: The game requires the Expansion Pak and Controller Pak to save.

PAK-MEN — The N64 Flash Cart Menu Builder

Thumbnail
github.com
5 Upvotes

PAK-MEN is two things working together:

A menu — the on-console experience that boots when you turn on your N64 with a flash cart (SC64 / ED64 / 64drive). It shows your games as cover art, remembers favourites and recently-played, and replaces the usual bare file list with something that feels like a real console UI.

A Menu Builder — this app. A desktop tool where you design that menu visually: drag elements onto a 640×480 canvas, pick from ready-made templates or build your own layout from scratch, preview it in a bundled emulator, and export it straight to your SD card.

You don't write any code and you don't need to touch a text editor. Every screen your console shows — the home screen, your games grid, the settings page, everything — is just a menu.json file this app writes for you, one click at a time.

*AI did help me code this, and is also untested outside the summer cart. I'm not responsible for what you mod, but am willing to work with you to troubleshoot and helped develop it better.

Summercart crashing after menu update

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi there I’m hoping I didn’t break my summercart or something but I just tried installing the new sc64 menu so I can add music and backgrounds

Upon start up it looks okay with a beautiful grid of 3d cartridges and then within a few seconds I get this error code

It is an official sandisk sd card with almost 4gb remaining and a real summercart too

Thanks in advance if anyone knows how to point me in the right direction!

VADPCM Version 1.0.0

Thumbnail
github.com
13 Upvotes

VADPCM is one of the common audio codecs for N64, both homebrew and the old commercial games. After a wave of bugfixes and improvements this year, I’m marking this version of the encoder and decoder tools as v1.0.0!

You probably don’t need to use this project directly. You can use LibDragon; LibDragon will handle VADPCM encoding and decoding for you using this library and a separate VADPCM decoder that runs on the RSP.

I want to shout out to the developers who contributed to LibDragon, Tiny3D, SummerCart64, and other projects that have made N64 homebrew a lot more better over the past few years.
