Kaze, you should be on your guard.
Nintendo has sent professionals "caretakers".
Be ready.

Just loaded this up on the Everdrive, this is so impressive! I really hope there will be a way to eventually just convert ROM Hacks through some sort of application to run better on N64, there's a lot of them I'd love to play again on OG hardware
hi Bandy!!!!!!!!!
I hope that as well, Too many amazing hacks that would be so much better to play on the original console
Gr8t now i can make splits and play this on mac for a speedrun
I hope we can play sm64 3d world by kaze, it's a great hack
Wow I pray that comes to fruition, that would be EPIC! Looking forward to playing SM64 without lag on a real N64 for the first time!
Just wanted to point something out, there are actually 3 versions of the Fast3D microcode; the original Fast3D or "F3D" (which is what Super Mario 64 uses), F3DEX (which is what Banjo-Kazooie uses), and F3DEX2 (which is what Banjo-Tooie uses). F3DEX2 has by far the best performance, with significantly faster vertex processing compared to F3DEX, and a vertex cache of 64 instead of 32 when using the FIFO version (which is what SM64 uses). So if you ARE using F3DEX (without the 2), you might want to try using F3DEX2 for a further performance improvement.
EDIT: Vertex cache of 64 only when not using clipping, but everything else still applies.
Were you a dev?
Hopefully he'll notice this and check it out. But Kaze is smart, there's probably a reason for this.
commenting so hopefully kaze sees this, this is really cool
I hope he sees this smart comment that I'm commenting on. He could just modify his already existing ROMs and include this if he wanted to.
oh neat i commented on this a year ago!
(well 11 months but shh)
This is really fascinating to me, because I got my masters in Computer Science with a focus in Game and Real-Time Systems, and I learned all about this kind of thing in a series of three game engine programming classes. What amazes me is how many of the features I was taught in this class--culling, reducing vertices, etc.--were not standard features in Mario 64. It's kind of a miracle it was able to run as well as it did, considering the lack of such features.
some culling was used on select level geometries, but it really wasnt enough haha
I think this is even more impressive than Star Road (by which I mean it looks and feels more like the emulated version). It's so cool to see these hacks on original hardware, I wonder if all of them are possible.
Jrose on an SM64 video? Interesting discovery, but a glad one.
They are. The power difference between emulator and hardware isn't nearly as big as people want it to be. Banjo Tooie worlds are bigger than 99% of SM64 hacks
@@fgfhjfhjfbhfghf5771 Okay but to be fair those games also kind of run very badly. However i do see these optimizations improving things, and sm64 is a more lightweight game overall so it can spare more polys
This is really cool. I assumed that a lot of N64 games would have already used these optimizations, but I guess since Mario 64 was one of the first games developed, they hadn't mastered all of the tricks yet.
Thanks for sponsoring Ruffle with $5,630! :)
I would be really interested in seeing these improvements in the vanilla SM64. Like a overclocked version of the game.
It may break the game... who knows? I'm not a modder. I just play video games and watch TH-cam for a living. It could work a bit better than the normal game, but the unoptimized level geometry thing makes me question if it'll even run a little smoother or not.
this dudes biceps is insane
You mean the biceps of yoshi in his pfp?
I feel like you have such amazing knowledge about the N64. I hope you realize that everyone who is interested in this niche really appreciates your work and your videos. You're too good
This isn’t even his final form
I plan on getting an Everdrive for Christmas, so I can't wait to try this hack out on real hardware.
The aliasing is noticeable, but also not very bothersome. I feel like most n64 games were designed with CRT televisions in mind, and from what I remember they did look much better than on an HDTV.
Imagine simplifying and optimizing the geometry in the levels, applying these patches, fixing a bit more stuff...
Could we have a truly perfect SM64 running on real hardware?
That's what I wanna see
This man when mario 64 will be perfect thanks to him: "My job here is done."
Kaze, I just want to say that Mario's eyes are scaring me.
I ran out of pannenkoek to binge and now you're tossing out videos with just us much fascinating information, I love it!
You are too powerful!
It's actually crazy how much lag AA causes.
I've messed with no AA and the optimized compiler seprately, and it's crazy how much faster the base game runs. Still some slowdowns, but it is so much better. I've never been able to figure out how to do both at the same time, but I imagine it running full speed nearly, if not, all the time.
kale
@@Suigi sueeg
its cool that kaze started fixing old romhacks to work on real hardware
Who Nintendo needs to hire: this man
Who Nintendo hires: the person who puts Mario in a field with stock assets in unreal engine
I've done some similar things recently for Mario Kart 64 as well. It's very interesting taking a look deeper into the hardware specifics and finding ways to rewrite the F3D code to run more efficiently.
Good job Kaze! You are pretty knowledgeable when it comes to n64, hacks, but also game development in general
I'm mapping my first Banjo-Kazooie level. There really aren't many resources for this type of stuff so I super appreciate this video mang! Thank you!
This is amazing! :o hopefully we could get this kind of optimization in Super Mario Star Road.
Really awesome work Kaze, as always! It's kind of scary how much effort is needed to get results as good as this though. Having to manually edit the geometry of individual levels looks like so much work.
ive remade this entire game in a single 14 hour stream. that included object placement and recoding everything. i think 1-2 hours per level for optimizing meshes is reasonable.
@@KazeN64 Speaking of recoding, you may want to see this comment. The person who made it goes by Rudo Procopio. It's about the F3DEX2. Apparently, from what I've heard, it makes rendering on the Nintendo 64 (N64) much faster and is better than F3DEX. F3DEX2 was used in Banjo Tooie from what I've also heard.
@@randomteen678 f3dex2 was used on this! i may have skippped over that in the video
@@KazeN64 Oh... I didn't know that. Cool!
Thank you so much for fixing these old rom hacks! I'm getting an everdrive for christmas and I can't wait to play them!
I love stuff like this (and videos about retro consoles and games in general), great video!
I'm always baffled how your original content fits in so well it looks like a part of the game I missed. It doesn't feel out a place, it's like they made a second Mario 64 and I forgot to buy it.
When I clicked this i thought you were talking about Mario's running speed and not the game's speed I misread the title. Awesome video tho lol
same too lol
I love your rom hacks keep it up
Ooh this is cool. And I love the file select music on there, I'm assuming that's a nod to Pannen
The "parallel universes" guy?
@@thebarbiter4644 yes
@@thebarbiter4644 Oh much more than that. I've seen an hour and a half of videos on UncommentatedPannen talking about wall/floor/ceiling collision and loved every moment of it.
I love you for keeping n64 alive
This is actually super cool! I only ever played SM64 once, and noticed how it's extremely slow on PAL. This just fixes all of that.
Holy cow that's really cool! I'd love to some day develop an n64 game with you, maybe some day lol.
For anti-aliasing, you could use mult anti-aliasing. This would work especially well once you get a game running at 60 frames per second (when you exceed 60 FPS, just turn the excess frames into a crude motion blur through a frame-accumulation technique)
I don't understand anything you say but it's so informative that I can keep watching
F3DX isn’t dead !! Finally ! Thank you for reviving this stuff
This is just incredible
Nintendo should hire this guy to investigate performance bottlenecks in their games. You are insanely good, and pretty good at explaining as well. I've done a lot of programming myself, and I can understand what you are saying. Hell, even most everyone else who doesn't program can also understand.
Thank you, this is very informative
Also awesome video I always wanted to make mods for Mario 64 thanks for the tip
Amazing method! Thank you, i´ll try it for my Hackrom
You are definitely a master of your own craft.
i love the mario new look.
Fröhliche Weihnachten Kaze.
I always wondered if sm64 could be improved with techniques used in games later in the n64's life like banjo kazooie/tooie, this answered my question
My prayers were answered! If you could do Luigi Mansion 64.5 down the line that would be amazing! But I know just how busy you are, thank you for this Kaze!
Mario 64 in 480p?
This will be bomb fam.
Dude I have been waiting for this! Now I just need to find my everdrive.
You absolute legend
Kaze do be making history tho
Can't believe back then you were just getting started
YO that nerf at 7:23 is awesome!
The music makes this feel like a Pannenkoek video
Really impressive
can you imagine what games would be like today if kaze was a developer in the mid 90s
Im not sure how much of this post is meant to be taken seriously, but don’t discredit the talent or hard work of the OGs. The only reason we _have_ games today is because of them.
Brilliant and dedicated as he is, Kaze stands on the shoulders of giants, and if you think we’d be in a better place by dragging and dropping talent from one era into another hoping they’d be just as effective, you’re almost certainly mistaken.
You can respect someone’s work without deifying them, or downplaying the achievements of those who came before them. Kaze’s working in a different era, with different tools, and significantly more history to derive your hindsight from. Design as a field has evolved, and there’s no reason to believe the conclusions he’s come to today would still be reached back when this was all brand new.
@@IanZWhite00 you took it a little too serious to the head, bud
@@IanZWhite00 Also he's using a new computer / new tools to run these fixes.
Incredible!
This is the content I want !
I love this patch, also can the patch work on the sm64 co-op mod you made??? beacuse if so then it would run A LOT better.
It looks like some of the faces on Mario's hat might have spaces between them, but the model looks really good.
Video of the day; Kaze does Nintendo’s job for them :)
12:59 Hey, I know that song anywhere. That's the beginner level theme from Dr.Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Good game.
Was looking for this comment. That game is the only reason I've ever known anything about Puyo Puyo, lol
@@sethseth6ify Same. Both are great games. That lil orange guy in the middle of the screen standing next to the score was always so adorable.
Update: Just found out his name is Has Bean
Your a beautiful wizard and i can't wait for the day you make some giganormous original game using this knowledge (so you can't fear the reaper with every release)
This is so damn cool!!
Hey Kaze, are you considering releasing these features as a standalone sm64 patch for the vanilla game?
That's actually what I thought this was when I clicked the video. My guess is, though, that in order for that to actually happen it wouldn't just be an adjustment or anything. Like here for example, in order to optimize the submarine area you would reduce the amount of polygons, and assign more culling and culling distances. You'd need to do that for the entire game, though I believe you could just get away with barely touching areas that never dip below 60 FPS to begin with. I imagine it'd take a bit of work.
@@marisanya Note that SM64's base frame rate is 30FPS, not 60; very few N64 games were 60FPS. MM was on its main menu, and OoT tried to be on its main menu but lagged so heavily it became 30, though the virtual console versions do end up at 60 as a result.
@@hoodedman6579 i think f zero x is 60fps
Don't forget about a camera fix too while we're at it!
Wait, if this patch isn't for the vanilla sm64, then why does the description say to patch a vanilla copy of sm64 instead of sm64 Sapphire?
Kaze is the here we need, but don't deserve
Beautiful...
a legend
I wonder if it’s possible to mod a fan on top of the N64 cpu and overclock the console? Maybe mod heat pipes and thermal gel too? The N64 case can’t hold these pieces but what if we just removed the outer case leaving just the motherboard? A lot of work just to heat up an N64 beyond its factory settings?
Nice video and I have another ?. What version ever driwe you use becuase I want to play sm65: yoshi island?
This actually runs amazing on PSP through Daedalus, would love to see this technique implemented to more hacks.
Heard the music and was confused because I thought pannenkoek was about to teach me something but it turns out Kaze was about to teach me something instead.
Awesome
I'm speedruning this now
Holy shit this is nuts
Kaze hat wieder gezaubert
This is so cool.
now we need an updated star road n64
Incredible.
the vertex merging thing would be nice if most RSP plugins would actually support flat shading
If Crysis had somebody like you optimizing it and getting rid of all the unnecessary background clutter that eats away at performance for no reason, we could run it on a Texas Instruments calculator.
I wonder what all it would take to make Myario 64 run at over 30fps. Even if it required low poly/LOD Mario at all times, an ever lower draw distance, even smaller textures, and levels that are more square, it would be interesting to see.
I know you've done something like this for star road in the past, but is there any way you could update that maybe? Just asking
It does indeed run faster
Hello Kaze, I loved playing your hack Super Mario Bros. 64, I’m your huge fan as well of SM64 and SMB1, I think it would be fun if you did a remake of Super Wario Bros. for N64 (SMB1 hack starring Wario and Waluigi as protagonists villains, created by Googie Toons, also known as Victor Alonzo), Fantendo characters Walberto (a muscular and tall man who wear a crimson shirt and hat with the latter "A" upside down) and Wasparo (a tall man who wear a light orange shirt and hat with latter ''G’' upside down) could be added in the remake as playable characters along with Wario and Waluigi (except Mario and Luigi). Besides that I would like to see Alberto (a tall man who wear light blue shirt and hat) and Gasparo (a man who wears a brown jacket with an orange "G" on it on top of his khaki shirt) as a playable characters in the separate mods of SM64
that would be fun ^.^ I’m also a kaze fan
Hey kaze just wondering, do you have a discord where I can download mario 64 odyssey, you know, because the original video was taken down
dropping what I was doing to watch this
31:38 WAIT THE END IMAGE IS NOT SIMPLEFLIPS?
Thank you
Imagine if mario was prerendered like a doom enemy instead of a 3D model
like paper mario?
The chad Kaze
Kaze: that's unplayable
Me: played with that much lag barely 10 years ago
when they say "unplayable", they probably don't mean actually unplayable
Literally a god
Kaze this is cool and all but when are you going to fold simpleflips?
Damn thank you😭
Mario: ¡¡¡You are too slow!!!
Me, watching on mobile at 20FPS: Outstanding.
What are the changes between the Fast3DEX engine and Mario 64's regular Fast3D engine that makes it a better renderer? Is it just more optimized using nintendo's microcode documentation or does EX add more features that Nintendo's Fast3D didn't have? Also this is extremely cool that it works without line doubling
