- The Windows and Linux bundles shipped without the GCC runtime and SDL2
license texts when the build machine lacked them (CI's MSYS2 has no
share/licenses/gcc-libs; CI's Linux image has no dpkg). bundle-win.sh,
bundle-linux.sh and package-macos.sh now fall back to in-tree copies:
tools_pc/dist/GPL-3.0.txt, GCC-RUNTIME-EXCEPTION.txt, SDL2-LICENSE.txt.
- NOTICE / README: say the repository and downloads carry no ROM data or
original assets and that the C source is a reconstruction (not "no
Nintendo code"); describe the license-text sources.
- README: "What this port offers"; split-screen for up to 4 players; the
few game-code changes keep N64 behavior or are opt-in; neutral wording
for the comparison with the XBLA recompilation projects (rows about their
status and motives removed); verification approach stated; release notes
drop the 165/240 testing caveat.
Issue fixes:
- D643 (#145 b/c, #149): Original control style is a strict virtual N64 pad
(native buttons in stage/menu/watch/tank, per-seat Input.N64Pad remap,
Input.N64StickFeel)
- D605 + D645 (#145 a): Invert look reaches the original styles; in Original
it is the game's own Look up/down, synced with the F10 row
- D606 (#144): optional always-visible mission timer
- D644 (#146): IA4 decodes as the RDP's I3:A1 (file-select crest drew on a
dark square)
- D581 (#151): open on the real primary monitor (SDL display 0) and centre
every window placement in the display's global bounds; the earlier
"display at (0,0)" rule still picked the left monitor
- D580 (#153, #156): runtime check of the propDef type/end-of-list fix
- D646: F10 dropdown popup stays inside the settings box
Frame rate (#148):
- D578: Auto follows the display up to 240 (4 presents per sim tick, the
renderer's ceiling); 165 and 240 in the Frame rate cap row
Rolled in from release/v0.7.0:
- D632: release the GL context + window before exit (BSOD 0x119)
- D626: Windows per-monitor DPI awareness
- D639: exclusive fullscreen uses the desktop mode
- verify.sh: a frame-size mismatch fails; demobatch/flicker_scan harness
Release gate, licenses, docs:
- NOTICE: macOS packaging and pi/ coverage; runtime libraries bundled in
the downloads (SDL2/SDL3, zlib, MinGW runtime, macOS GCC runtime)
- macOS package ships SDL3, GCC COPYING.RUNTIME and the GPL-3.0 text
(tools_pc/dist/GPL-3.0.txt)
- README: release date 2026-10-13, "Why play this port", Legal (Apple,
runtime licenses), frame-rate text; site date tokens
- tools_pc/release_gate.sh: one-command win/deck/mac release checks
- release notes, findings D578/D580/D581/D643-D646 + index, porting notes
- README: attract-mode stills + demo GIF as the hero row, status/warning
callouts, metrics table, "Contents" index, doc-index table; simplified
the two-agent workflow diagram (LR -> TD, fewer edges) for GitHub web
- Table-of-contents indexes added to internals.md, porting-notes.md,
agentic-development.md, AUDIO-PLAN.md
- CI: add Windows/MSYS2 build job, minimal token (contents: read),
persist-credentials: false, concurrency group; run on main + master.
validate job regenerates the US ROM-asset symbol file only and configures
ntsc-final (PAL/JP need a region ROM; no ROM is used in CI)
- .github: SECURITY.md, issue forms + chooser config, PR template,
labels.yml, dependabot (Actions, monthly)
- Do not track the proprietary SGI IRIX IDO toolchain or SGIImageViewer.exe;
document in SetupGuide.md / building.md how to obtain IDO for N64 ROM
builds (the PC port does not need it)
- Stop tracking two committed *.pyc files; drop stale screenshots and a
redundant .gitignore line; misc doc cross-reference fixes
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GULf6knbsqfsnW39tMr9WT
- README, LICENSE (MIT for the port layer), NOTICE, CONTRIBUTING.
- Restructure docs: internals.md, porting-notes.md, dev-process.md +
dev/agentic-development.md (the research write-up), dev/ (raw record).
- Replace decomp status-badge CI with a PC-port validate workflow.
- Remove session/agent scaffolding and stale planning docs from the tree.
- Add .gitattributes (normalize line endings to LF); add screenshots.
The pre-2026-08 history is the GoldenEye 007 decompilation by Larry Ficken
(KholdFuzion) and contributors, preserved unchanged. The PC-port work from
2026-08-17 on is mine.
- D38: implicit function declarations truncated pointer returns on x86-64;
added port/include/pc_protos.h prototype shim (398 decls, C-only, anchored
in port/shim/PR/ucode.h) + pc_netorder.c for ntohl/ntohs; build warning-clean.
- D39: Globalimagetable rebasing - per-symbol offsets + GIMG_OFF() in
image_bank.c (== N64 (u32)&sym incl. the 0x02000000 base); segment end
markers extended to the true 0x13F8 size (CSV entry truncated by 0x930).
- D40: g_ModelHitEntries pool sized for the 40-byte PC ModelHitEntry stride
(was a 12KB .bss overflow clobbering is_ramrom_flag -> demo-replay SIGSEGV).
- D41: release the GL context from the host main thread after videoInit so
the game scheduler thread can bind it (WGL single-thread currency; this
SDL2 build's MakeCurrent return value is an inverted ABI artifact).
- D42: rsp.c g_gfxTaskSettingsList XOR toggle -> explicit toggle on x86-64.
Boot now renders real frames ([NOTE] frame N rendered in ... us). Next
blocker D43 (model-file loading ABI mismatch) documented in PCPortResearch.md
section F/H; HANDOFF.md rewritten for it.
- scripts/gen_romassets.py: emit absolute cart-address asset symbols
(0x10000000 + rom_offset) from filelist.<r>.csv + the asset .s files,
in file_resource_table.inc.c order. US region (romassets_u.s).
- romdata.c: load/validate the GE-specific header (magic, name @0x20,
cart ID @0x3C, country @0x3E) and map the .z64 at cart base 0x10000000
so every &asset-symbol is a live host pointer.
- libultra.c: osPiStartDma/osPiRawStartDma now service reads as
bounds-checked memcpys from the mapped ROM (synchronous completion).
- system.c: implement sysResolvePath ($S data dir, $E exe dir).
- video.c: real SDL2 window + GL context + clear/swap frame loop with
FPS accounting; main.c runs a Phase 1 demo loop (ESC quits) until the
software RSP/scheduler can drive mainproc().
- CMakeLists: project(... ASM), wire romassets_<region>.s, drop
assetstubs.c (replaced by generated symbols); n64stubs.c keeps only
pure-RAM segment markers.
- docs: findings D18-D23 (header offsets, BE music table, .rz tracks,
scanner-prefixed manifest names, CMake ASM gotcha, absolute-symbol
approach).
Verified: baserom.u.z64 (12MB) passes validation and maps at 0x10000000;
window opens and renders until killed; asset offsets spot-checked against
ROM bytes (music bank seqCount=63 BE, first track offset 508).
