@Hackbond, thanks for the find, definitely something to keep an eye on.

Is there a video posted somewhere showing off the muzzle flash? Thanks.

I posted some unlisted videos on Discord, I'll link all my experiment videos here as I put them in a public playlist.

I've also implemented a slider for the FoV in the settings. I haven't tested if it saves properly yet.

If done and corrected in time, can those intermittent muzzle flashes be implemented into GoldenEye X before this year's end release?

GE-X predates the decompile so unless I can find the ASM in the ROM for it, I'm not sure. Plus I compiled it without piracy checks or the original compiler for the games so there are probably differences there.

I mentioned this on a stream but it would be awesome to have an AA toggle in the settings menu that doesn't require a gameshark code or patch.

I've implemented an FOV slider in the menus so I might be able to add that in. I'm just not exactly familiar on how to remove AA properly at the moment.

Yeah, there is debate over what really is AA in Perfect Dark. The current setup may not do exactly what GE did. That can be a difference between games, as well as additional graphics stuff done to PD. There's been discussion on N64 Vault Discord about it.

Well then I guess the only person who can give me a firm true answer to this question is Ryan Dwyer himself.

I highly doubt an ASM mod will cut it, especially if it is an option in a menu. That would likely require decomp to fully support in that fashion. We'll be going down that path at some point, anyway.

It would be nice if some of that discussion was had here as well considering I was banned by some children a few years ago for being a big meanie

Personally, I don't like Discord at all. Forums are (to me, at least) much better to use.

Questions:

-Will it be possible to create an xdelta patch from a recompiled rom (with changes) and apply it to the original rom?

-If possible, would it be legal to distribute those patches or there's some license involved that mandates you have to recompile the rom? (Then only the files that add things to the recompiled rom could be distributed).

-How do you recompile the rom? Can it be done in Windows or do you need Linux?

I would like to test the current improvements myself, even if it's just the antialising toggle.

Yes.

it'll probably be more legal to send the xdeltas, also easier for most people.

You need Linux, and preferably some experience with Command Line Interfaces and Linux commands. The readme on the gitlab repo gives you some direction but if you're not familiar with Linux then you'll probably ask some questions

I can create xdeltas of my personal changes but I can't guarantee my changes will be stable or work properly.

Hello. Has there been any progress with decomp?

The only thing besides the features already posted in this topic are some videos from Jonaeru with 100 simulant in Combat simulator.

Is someone else working/experimenting with the decomp project?

Can someone compile the PDHP rom and post a patch? I'll really like to try it since it seemsit has several performance and image quality improvements compared to vanilla. Thanks.

From what I recall, activity has slowed down a bit. Ryan made the 100 simulants patch and added a few things to the performance branch, but is currently on break until the new year. Beyond that, Jonaeru has started porting and making things for the Japanese version, one new thing being a sim healthbar viewer in multi.

Oh yeah, there is also someone working on getting decomp to work with the mouse injector.
