The goal of sodium64 is to be fast and accurate enough to at least get some SNES games playable on the N64. It does its rendering entirely on the RSP in an attempt to reduce load on the main CPU. I thought it would be fun to write something specifically for older hardware in assembly, so sodium64 was born! It's still in very...
I post about fairly anything that crosses my mind or goes on in my little corner of the internet x3
Other things might include mental health, #transition and so on!

All of my friends owned a PS1 but I went for the N64 because I wanted to play Mario Kart 64 and nothing else. 😆
I played many PS1 games on my friend's consoles. That way I experienced the birth of fundamental game series like Tekken, Gran Turismo, Silent Hill, Resident Evil or GTA. :underheart:
Did you also have to make a choice for one of the two consoles? Which one did you pick and why? 🤔
Huge #Nintendo fan here! If you're into modern and #retrogaming with a Nintendo fangirl slant then I wouldn't be the worst follow.
I like to post general Nintendo & #Zelda content. The entire Nintendo timeline are my gaming roots starting with the #nes all the way through to the #switch with the #n64 holding a special place in my heart.
You'll see me posting gifs Tumblr style from #retro archives or modern Nintendo art. I adore all the characters so much. :kirbydance:
I got this used #N64 as a gift. Unfortunately it doesn't give me a picture, despite the original AV cable and the dirt inside being removed. Can anyone help me?
I must have penned 100 of these by now as I move around the fediverse week to week and sometimes day to day. Anyway here it goes again...
I'm a #Nintendo fangirl. My first console was the #NES and I've been in love ever since. The #N64 being my favorite console of all time with games like Goldeneye, Mario 64, and #Zelda Ocarina of Time being some of the best games ever made. I know most people had a PlayStation then, but I was always a Nintendo girl.
I watch #horror#movies consistently, and sometimes it feels like I've seen the entire genre. Out of nowhere someone will recommend me a film I hadn't seen, and I'll love it. Routinely makes the genre surprise me in a good way. It's gotten to the point that if it's not a horror film I probably won't watch it.
I like to read, and again, with a slant to horror. #StephenKing being my favorite author ever since I read The Shining as a young teen. #Fantasy, especially #Tolkien, is another fixation. I did see the #LotR movies before I read the books, so I'm probably not as cool as you.
If you don't love #birds we probably can't be friends. I've been bird obsessed for going on 6 years now. Ever since a house sparrow couple decided to nest in my garage I've become a bird nerd. Honestly I don't think it would be possible for me to love anything more than our feathered friends, and it shatters my heart every time I read about #climatechange decimating bird populations. Birds are better than people, full stop.
#Retrocomputing and #nostalgia are another side hobby. Content around the retrotechisphere is certainly in my orbit. I grew up with i386 processors and 9600baud modems in my veins. I would hangout in chatrooms on #BBS servers until 2am (my mom HATED it).
That's basically me minus all the neurodivergency causing disasters in my life, but I'm not here to trauma dump. As long as I have an #Android phone and a Nintendo console I'll be happy.
Perhaps one of the most inventive ROM hacks I've seen, which sounds really simple but has all sorts of interesting implications. What if we gave Mario in Mario 64 a shotgun?
Booted up a classic for the first time in forever… I’d like to claim credit, but it was 100% my dad when I was a kid. He would whistle after I went to bed and I would “sneak” watch him play. One of my favorite memories growing up. Legend.
