Ocarina of Time decompilation is nearly finished.

For those that don't know, this means it can be ported to other consoles similar to the Super Mario 64 port.

Edit: Could someone kindly change the title to:
Ocarina of Time decompilation is nearly finished.

Thanks. Apologies for the typo.

SM64 took almost a full year, since the end of the decompilation project, to see the first ports of the game, even the PC one.

This will probably be "safer" and more streamlined, but I guess it will take months as well.

oh man sweet projects i didn't know existed, hopefully its not too long to 100%, would love to see the extra time devoted to the minish cap decomp! ~40%!

oh finally, now we can recreate super mario 64 in ocarina of time
can't wait for the goldeneye and smash 64 decomp

OMG Snap, https://github.com/n64decomp

forget minish cap we all want GOldenEYe!! too bad last commit was 5-8 months ago...

I personally think it will be done before the year is out. I would love to play it on my PS3.

Also 60fps should easily be possible now on ports.

Ocarina of Time's engine was derived from that of Mario 64, so with so much work done already the level of difficulty in reverse-engineering it is comparatively low. I see there's been a little work done on those other games already, but I wouldn't expect to see anything finished anytime soon.

i know i was joking, there is a goldeneye, mario kart 64 decomps too, i think there is also one for smash 64, im pretty sure i read about it when i found smash remix

One can hope majora's mask will shortly follow for obvious reasons. 8k internal on a PC with QoL improvements and mods, we certainly live in the future now.

Eagerly awaiting the Goldeneye decomp.. imagine the improvements that could be done to it

i didn't even know there was a decom of minish cap. i still have my gba cart

So it will be possible to use the 3ds assets from oot 3d and also create new ones.

This gonna be WILD! I hope they port it to Retroarch ARM so we can play it on a Pi 4 "natively".

It won't probably be any better than Goldeneye Remastered for XBLA: 60 frames per second, modern controls, revamped models/textures, old/new renderer switch, etc.

It can be better, support for m/k, multiplayer online, better assets, better rendering (rtx), 4k, no fps limit...

this is only for master quest right now though

But the first compiles on the N64 were far before that, and if porting is going to be as relatively easy as it was for Mario 64 (I was thinking it was going to be endless fun with trying to tease out system specific code, turns out was able to be a bit more abstract and not even that much overhead as a result which was nice) then I imagine there are enough people out there willing to get to and do, even without the leg up from Mario 64's efforts.

That's kind of unexpected, yes. Most of the time something like this would get an "annotated disassembly". Does this mean that they know what language the game was written in and what tools were used to build it? There isn't really much documentation at https://github.com/zeldaret/tmc .

It will be interesting to see how it would work on the PS2 considering the ROM is the same size as the PS2's RAM at 32MB.

I am guessing the data would have to be streamed. Though I must say it worked well enough on the GameCube on those two emulated releases.
