Games

I suspect it was my age when I first played it but when I play it now I don't feel the camera pain. I know that's the biggest complaint but what exactly is the pain? is it hard to articulate exactly other than it feels like a lack of control?

Heck yeah, this sounds fantastic. Are you able to give me any pointers in a response or DM on how to move forward with getting it all set up? My wife never had a 64 so she never got to experience the game. Ideally, we'd play it together each of us on our Steam Decks. I've bought All Stars or whatever it's called on the Switch but the prospect of us playing through the game together almost like a couch Co OP experience is extremely enticing. Obviously, you're not responsible for me figuring everything out so if there's a good forum or even video link discussing it, I'd be most appreciative.

And then of course there's the oblkgitory Ship of Harkinian for my Ocarina of Time fans, which is probably the most feature-complete PC port of an N64 game ever.

For anyone else wondering, it's

You don’t. Go to the releases section and download the compressed file for your OS, wherein you will find the executable for the program.

I can try to help. Are you using Linux or Windows? (I admittedly don't have much experience using git on Windows)

Assuming you use Linux: usually, what I do is create a folder in my Documents directory specifically for handling Git projects (mostly because I like being organized), then open a terminal window there (right-click and press "Open Terminal Here") or CD to its directory (for example, if it's in home//Documents/Git, run cd ~/Documents/Git).

Then, go to the github page, click the green Code button, and copy the URL there, which you will use to pull its git repository. Normally, you would then do git clone <git URL>, but the instructions say this uses submodules, so you should instead use git clone --recursive-submodules https://github.com/Mr-Wiseguy/N64Recomp.git. Don't bother making a specific folder for this project because git automatically does that.

Then, go inside the folder containing the cloned git repository, make a folder inside it for containing the compiled build of the project (name it, say, "build"), move inside said folder, and then run cmake .. (you may have to install this package first depending on if your distribution includes it or not) and then cmake --build. I think it then should be done.
