I've been working on this for over a year: I'm remaking all of Ocarina of Time's prerenders in 3D, trying to match the N64 style rather than the 3DS one. The provisional name is OoT unJPEG.
It will be distributed as both a romhack that runs on real N64 hardware and a mod for Zelda 64 Recompiled.

The guy who made the AI-generated Gen 1 recomp left a reply to my thread on Twitter (completely unprompted/untagged) saying all of my issues with that release were "inaccurate", so it was suggested I post my video comparison (with the sheer volume of bugs from just the intro alone) to here as well.

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this.
I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

Seeing the GitHub issues of this "recompilation" is pretty enlightening on how "great" the end result of unattended AI recomps is. I suspected some issues, sure, but not *hundreds*.
Kotaku parading that garbage "recompilation" Generation 1 Pokémon project is genuinely upsetting.
I was hoping the communities would reject vibe coded garbage, but these people are now intentionally hiding the usage and even lying that it's hand-written to peddle their slop onto others.

Thanks to @sonicdcer.bsky.social, a recompilation for Mario Kart 64 is now available in an early beta stage. Special thanks to GhostlyDark for putting in the work of bringing over MK64 Reloaded (HD Texture Pack), this is the most stutter-free experience I've ever seen of this texture pack.
Mod support just arrived to MarioKart64: Recompiled, and with it comes along this amazing HD texture pack thanks to GhostlyDark.

This man does not get tired of playing Jungle Joyride.
It's been 10 years* since our last Modding Shenanigans stream in 2014 so its time to celebrate. Come hang out on Saturday at 8 AM PST / 11 AM EST on the Melpontro YT. This time I'm going in blind with mods created by my friends in the modding community. We'll have tons of surprises for everyone.
