Custom code was used so rarely that it's not a problem? Uh-oh.

Also: 4KiB you say... that's 1024 MIPS instructions WITHOUT ANY BRANCHES NOR MULTIPLICATION?! That sounds sad. Really sad.

Without LIKELY branches. You have "regular" branches and "likely" branches on the MIPS. Likely branches are ...

Back to N64 discussion, I suppose that even music could be done well if you didn't push much into graphics department. And on the point of graphics department... uh oh, looking at its Wikipedia specification (microcode replacements for every game that wanted it...) it must be hard to emulate ...

Sounds good. That should be reasonably cross-platform.

Wow! Really awesome release.

I'm not sure how much this helps, but the music in the Jaguar version is an EXTREMELY simplified tracker format using standard MIDI instruments (except for two). What I know so far...

The table of tracks is at offset $1210F0 in the rom. Each entry is 4 LONG values (in big endian format ...

Screenie of Level 7, where you encounter the hoodlums for the first time... ALL AT ONCE!
(The Heckler in the middle is just about to shot his canons in your face by the way and the wood border is part of the scenery that makes sense when you see it all)

Thanks for the update!

I wish my mapping skills were better... are there any restrictions you want people to observe when making suggestions about new levels?

SNDD8B.DAT is clearly sound-data-8-bit, so I'd guess SNDH8B.DAT is sound-headers-8-bit. It probably has maps for which sounds go to which characters, among other things.

I've got the PSX version, but I should get the PC version if I want to help.

EDIT: I went ahead and ordered a used copy of ...

Thanks for the update.

But I guess the music type would be the same, but the graphics improved when comparing to the Jaguar no?

Depends on how much work was put into it. It could be superior to the Jaguar in all respects, or it could be virtually the same if not as much work was put into it. It's that way for most ...

which could then also be ported to the N64 as well. :D(
Could the N64 really handle Rayman 1? I imagine that the backgrounds would have to be compressed into oblivion. And so would the music.

I think the result would be something quite similar to the Atari Jaguar version.

MUCH better than the ...

you can hope that the underlying interfaces are the same (say, SDL), or you can port the interfaces (make an N64 version of oslib), or you can tear it all out and replace it with something entirely new. That's also what I expected. But it still do require a lot of work. :)

Meh - some programs are ...

which could then also be ported to the N64 as well. :D With PSP SDK and OSLib? Now I might ask how we possibly could use these on N64, without porting them too. :P

That's why it's called a port. :D

When porting to other platforms, you can hope that the underlying interfaces are the same (say ...

That new sky texture looks REALLY good. The level 1 MIDI seems to fit the mood the graphics create, so it's good until you get something better.

Wow - you have really awesome skills at level design, but then to do Rayman on top of that?? It's like free bacon.

What a bizarre turn of events! And I was looking forward to a user-supported version to the PSP... which could then also be ported to the N64 as well.

I suppose the rest of us can continue on without Equilibrium369, but his work was so good. I'm sorry he felt it was a waste to work on this.

Subversion would probably be better for some folks. It's used more, so I think more people have learned how to use it. Git and Hg aren't very mainstream, so most folks never bother to learn either.

Yes, those screen shots are very impressive.

Yeah, that was a great game. Tomb Raider had it's fair share of chills as well... when the wolves attack... when the bear attacks... when the GOD DAMNED T-REX attacks...

Why? This is the off-topic forum, and at least pies are something most people can agree on.
