I can't wait for someone to create a DK64 decomp so we can finally fix this poorly coded mess of a game, especially that memory leak that made this game require the expansion pak in the first place.
@coolboymew There is a team on GitHub that is decompiling multiple N64 games along with SDKs. I think they're aiming to create a decomp for at least every first and second party N64 game. We already have disassemblies for nearly every NES and SNES game, so I think every major game for N64 (and onward) is going to get a decompilation in some form.
@coolboymew They're just getting started. Super Mario 64 appears to be the only complete decomp and they are still working on the two Zelda games and the two Rare shooters. They also have decomps of the code libraries used by the N64. I think eventually they will have at least every first and second party N64 game decompiled.
@coolboymew It's going to take awhile. Decompiling code is hard since the decompiled code doesn't have meaningful names for variables, objects etc. You need to learn what each variable, object, function is supposed to do and then rename it to something that makes sense. It took at least a year to create a full, readable decomp of SM64.
Plus, they don't have full decomps for many of the system libraries, so it could take years until we have full decomps of all the major N64 games unless more people join the project which I think is going to happen because there seems to be a recent surge of people wanting to know the inner workings of their favorite childhood games.
