Perfect Dark with dual analog controls is something I've wanted to exist and now it does! No Mac support though, gonna have to maybe take another look at clearing things out to make room for boot camp.

If you need an official ROM then it probably won't be taken down. Much like the ocarina of time and Mario 64 decompilation projects.
Tell that to rockstar and the REVC and RE3 team
Yeah it's a decompile as well. But also, perfect dark is Microsoft's IP now.
That's awesome news. I love these old games getting pc ports and quality of life features.
nice, I didn't even hear someone was doing a de-compilation of this.
My favorite game of all time. I can’t wait to try this out.
Does it, or will it later, have online multiplayer?
It's not my project - I just stumbled upon the repository and figured I'd post a link here - but from what I have seen so far it seems to be a faithful re-implementation so far, so no online MP. I checked the open enhancement requests, and found none. Maybe open one to ask whether they're considering it?
How would they even retrofit that...? Maybe it could do splitscreen through something like Steam Play Together, at least.
Nintendo 64 emulation with netplay has existed for 20 years.
20 earth years?!? :O
These modifications are possible because the game has been decompiled back to modifiable source code. At this point they can add anything to the game with enough dedication.
Looking at their GitHub page, I'm gonna say no. You need the ROM file of the original game, so while it looks like they're doing some things like key bindings and increased frame rates, I'd be shocked if they went so far as to implement something as complex as online multiplayer.
They need the rom to dump the assets. They can’t legally redistribute those.
The laptop gun is one of the all time greats
If anyone has this running on Steamdeck, lemme know.
I just tried this out a little bit ago. I couldn't get the Linux version working but I downloaded the windows version, added it to steam, set the proton version to the newest one (.8 I think? it had an 8 in it) and it worked pretty well
haven't tried changing any settings but beat the first mission without any issues 👍
