I’m more impressed by the guy that rewrote chunks of the Mario 64 source to make it run up to 60 fps on real hardware with better graphics and a number of big fixes and qol enhancements.
He did so much with that game, including decompiling the entire game and building modding tools to make it easier to make modifications. An absolute legend in the romhacking community.

Obligatory Shoutouts to Simpleflips.
Yeah that’s the one. Every game dev should be like him. Optimization is the only god in game dev. Shareholders can go to hell.
Unfortunately optimization is also the hardest part of game dev, especially for modern cross-platform releases.
By now, I’m pretty sure he’s rewritten basically the entire thing
Hopefully it will be playable before I cease to exist.
Is it not already?
