I just want to see what the game looks like at a stable framerate.

This reminds me. I haven't looked to see how that auto compiler is coming along. Last I was reading they were trying to figure out how to generate a data file or something

How easy is it to decomp these games? I really want to play Star Wars Episode I: Racer on Linux with raytracing and all that.

The Dreamcast version of Ep1 Racer has better graphics, cutscenes, and hacks to get 60fps. Redream works on Linux

Didn't know that the dreamcast version was superior. I'll have to check that out.

I could be wrong but I don't think that the decomp/recomp tools are available for Dreamcast the way they are for n64. Like if I want a game to run natively on Linux without an emulator whike doing things like raytracing then it seems like the n64 games would be where I'd have to start.

Unless there are decomp/recomp tools for the dreamcast?

Wow!

Wouldn't the PC port that's on GOG be the best version or am I missing something?

Decomp? Extremely hard and time consuming.

Recompilation? Way easier, but still: some assembly required.

This video gives a few infos

They can't do shit about decompilations, since no copyright is violated. Also: I think M$ is the rightsholder now.

Well, this list of Unofficial PC Ports proves other wise https://github.com/Sebastrion/awesome-unofficial-pc-ports

The lawsuit dance has already been done. Can’t sue over decompiled code, but they can sue over assets, so anyone who wants to actually play something made with a decompilation has to supply a “legal” ROM that’s rightfully “theirs” for the assets to be sourced from

Beautiful, I was just thinking about playing through this again!

Hopefully this paves the way for an easier Conker decomp too :)

Nice. Waiting for the Vita port!
