That was quite interesting. I learned a lot just by watching that, and it was an incredible improvement at the same time. It just shows that you can greatly improve something if you really set your mind to it.

That's a lot of dedication, remaking the game for N64 hardware to speed it up.

I wonder why they didn't write it as standard x85 (or ARM) software.

Especially given that they have to fight with the compiler to have it not do certain optimizations, and use per file compilation flags.

Oh the famous x85 processor architecture, with processors like the 8085, 386 and core i6

There's already a c decompilation that was fixed to work on other architectures and operating systems by other people.
