Ninth devlog

I’m finally done with polishing the project up,making a website for it, building it for different platforms,writing the readme and alot of other stuff

and after so much work the web port is finally live too

Eighth devlog

And yep I’ve just been fixing up more crashes, making the website, creating a custom menu item and a custom intro cutscene

Seventh devlog

And I’m finally happy now, I manged to fix most if all of the crashes (thank you claude ) and I optimized the hell out of the render to make it even more playable

And big news! The web port is working too , this took so much time

and yep, the port is 90% of the way done just need to add some qol mods, design some graphics and we are done

Sixth devlog

This is literal hell, I chose to read the disc data as little endian and write converters and walkers for the game

Turns out doing that is not so easy, there is about ~100 different unique crashes that happen (100 is the number of ones I could actually find ) and each one requires a whole lot of time and effort to fix manually

So yea the 10 hours were spent grinding away using my LLMs to get it down to ~20 crashes, there is still alot of work that needs to be done for the 20 crashes and even more for the ones I have found yet

Hopefully by the next devlog I would actually be happy

Fifth devlog

So more bug fixes! There was (and still is) alot of bugs and crashs coz of stupid endianess and layout, But I think I managed to fix a good chunk of them and the game is actually quite playable now excluding it panicing every now and them

Fourth devlog

And we have the full game (almost!), It took alot of effort and time to get here, but now the whole game runs natively

There is still alot of bugs, crashes and other stuff that has to be fixed before it actually playable tho

Hopefully I would have a functional port by this week

Third devlog

Crazy! Crazy! progress so far

I have gotten to actual decompiled game logic to run
It was not easy I spent a whole day fighting with endianness, finding little gamecube quirks and whole alot of other stuff

But alas, we have a match running
All thats left is the game ui and polish

Second devlog

So I did a whole bunch of work, this included kinda throwing out my current progress as I realized hand porting 100k lines of code isn’t really viable

The new architecture is to compile the actual decomped codebase and write shims/wrapper around it for the non portable stuff (dics,audio,render engine,etc)

I rewrote the entire renderer for this new architecture and manged to get stages rendering

First devlog

(p.s I am really bad at devlogging consistently )

Alright so Super Smash Bros Melee for the game cube was fully decompiled last week
and its the perfect time to port it to modern computers and to also benchmark LLMs on what they can achieve

So far I was able to get a model/animation viewer working!

also nitendo please dont vaporizer me thank you
