Mario 64 on PSX is becoming a reality

Move over Mario 64 PS2 port!

I've been waiting for this ever since the PC port came out (which itself was a dream from 12 year old me believe or not), and this for me is one of the most exciting (and comical) things that could happen as far as homebrew go.

During the 5th gen, the way each console worked compared to each other on a technical level were massive, as opposed to today where everything closely resembles a PC, so this is no trivial feat!

Got this news from this cool n64 blog!

Hoooooly, moly! I still have my ps2 lying around (if you can believe it), and playing Mario on it? That would be trippy as hell. Heck, emulating it on pcsx2 alone sounds dope. Do you think this would support mod? Imagine ratchet & clank mod, or free camera, LMAO!

It's wild that they have it working at all. It does make some degree of sense (early game; would run better if they didn't use 64-bit programming as a marketing stunt), but, as you said, the difference between machines was big enough that it's surprising it was ported.

Now do the Saturn.
