Mario Party 4 becomes the GameCube's FIRST decompilation
The tldw is they made some bad/odd decisions that made this decomp a lot faster then other projects which he goes over.

I was gonna say, there are fun games they could have decompiled instead

I remember MP4 being the best Mario party for the GameCube.
MP6 had that shitty microphone extension. Hated that.

The microphone mini-games have passed into "they're so bad they're good" territory for me
-
MP6 is best tho
RA RA RA RA R(down)A R(downx2)A (<- me playing MP6)

First Mario game
didn't they decompile super mario 64?
-
Yea they definitely did, I thought he said that in the video. I'll double check what he actually said...
edit: yea he definitely just says first mario party game, missed it.

Can someone educate me on what decompiling a game means? Will this expand ease of emulation or modding?
-
Sure. So most languages, like C, are compiled from human readable source code into machine readable instructions. Think an exe file on windows. Decompiling is taking that machine code and looking at what it does, and rewriting it as source code. This lets you understand how the game works better, and makes mods, ports, and other improvements a lot easier then trying to edit the machine code directly. It doesn't really impact emulation afaik.
At least as good as I can explain it, I definitely can't explain interpreted vs compiled languages very well
-
to give a little example, decompiling made it possible for Ship of Harkinian to exist, which is a full port of Ocarina of Time to PC
it runs on linux, windows, and mac absolutely beautifully
the same team also did Majora's Mask

Isn't that the Lego island guy?
-
Yes he is, this is a second channel. He (and his team) actually finished decompiling that game recently too.
