Nintendo 64 Recompilation: An Incredible New Way to Keep N64 Games Alive!
N64: Recompiled is a tool to statically recompile N64 binaries into C code that can be compiled for any platform. This can be used for ports or tools as well as for simulating behaviors significantly faster than interpreters or dynamic recompilation can. More widely, it can be used in any context where you want to run some part of an N64 binary in a standalone environment.
This is not the first project that uses static recompilation on game console binaries. A well known example is jamulator, which targets NES binaries. Additionally, this is not even the first project to apply static recompilation to N64-related projects: the IDO static recompilation recompiles the SGI IRIX IDO compiler on modern systems to faciliate matching decompilation of N64 games. This project works similarly to the IDO static recomp project in some ways, and that project was my main inspiration for making this.
Ecosia is a search engine that helps plant trees with its ad revenue. Based in Berlin, Germany, it was founded in 2009 and has grown into a platform that supports reforestation projects worldwide. Every search you make contributes to tree-planting efforts in over 35 countries.
Unlike traditional search engines, Ecosia is committed to sustainability—it runs on renewable energy and reinvests its profits into environmental initiatives.
FramePack is a next-frame (next-frame-section) prediction neural network structure that generates videos progressively. FramePack compresses input contexts to a constant length so that the generation workload is invariant to video length. FramePack can process a very large number of frames with 13B models even on laptop GPUs. FramePack can be trained with a much larger batch size, similar to the batch size for image diffusion training.
To generate 1-minute video (60 seconds) at 30fps (1800 frames) using 13B model, the minimal required GPU memory is 6GB. (Yes 6 GB, not a typo. Laptop GPUs are okay.)
Razer Remote Play is a compelling solution designed for gamers who want to extend their PC gaming experience to mobile devices. Leveraging the power of the open-source Moonlight technology, this service allows users to stream their favorite games from their high-performance desktop to a mobile platform. The tool is particularly appealing for those who own Razer peripherals, as it can take advantage of optimized hardware compatibility—especially when paired with devices like the Razer Kishi.
Hosting requires running at least Windows 11 (Version 23H2). On your mobile device, use iOS 18 or Android 12 or above.
The setup, however, isn’t entirely plug-and-play. Users must install and configure multiple applications (such as Razer Cortex on the PC and specific mobile apps like Razer Nexus or PC Remote Play on smartphones) to get everything running. This layered setup might appear a bit technical for casual gamers, but it also offers plenty of customization options to match one’s network requirements and gaming preferences. When everything is set up correctly, Razer Remote Play delivers high frame rates and adaptive resolutions, even supporting refresh rates of up to 120Hz on compatible devices. However, like many network-dependent solutions, some users may occasionally experience minor latency or stability issues when moving outside their local area network.
Quake II AI is an experimental tech demo created by Microsoft using Muse AI, an artificial intelligence model designed for game development. It generates gameplay sequences inspired by the classic 1997 game Quake II, allowing players to experience a dynamically generated version of the game in a web browser.
However, this AI-generated version has several limitations, including blurred graphics, unresponsive controls, and short memory, which causes objects and enemies to disappear if they’re out of view for more than a second. Microsoft describes it as a tool for rapid prototyping and game preservation, rather than a direct replacement for traditional game development.
FreeDOS is an open source DOS-compatible operating system that you can use to play classic DOS games, run legacy business software, or write new DOS programs. Any program that works on MS-DOS should also run on FreeDOS.
