c_lodscalez is built from the rendered FOV (D222), so Video.FovScale moved every model LOD switch,
the prop fog fade and the fog-range visibility test closer (x0.58 at 150); half-fogged props such
as the Surface windows went fully invisible and flickered while turning. All three now use the
game's own FOV (portLodScaleOwnFov); identity at the default FOV.
Guards, doors and props moved at the 60 Hz tick inside a 90 Hz picture. Each object's joint
matrices are now blended, keyed by (Model*, joint) from a game-thread snapshot and rebased onto
the new camera; a chr blends together with its held weapons and hat; room-origin changes, failed
gates and split-screen stay exact. The CPU-projected sky is re-projected to the in-between camera.
Destroyed objects (world-space matrices) stay exact. Port layer only; porting-notes D46.
In-between presents drew props at the tick's camera while rooms used the blended one, so props
jumped against the world whenever the camera moved (doors and guards flickering at 90 fps, never
at 60). The props' plain perspective now gets the room camera blend (P * R^-1 * Rb) from
bgLevelRender up to the first-person gun. Port layer only (gfx_pc.cpp, interpportal.c).
- README in the shape of the top decomp/recomp ports: title, one-paragraph
pitch, latest-release link, a single no-assets line; then Requirements,
Quick start, Controls, What this port offers, FAQ (new), Status, Roadmap,
Building, Documentation, Contributing, Credits, Legal. 852 -> ~370 lines.
- Moved, not removed: docs/user-guide.md (full controls, feature list,
settings and files, ROM check, macOS setup, updating, emulator saves,
uninstalling, troubleshooting) and docs/about.md (release history, status
in detail, how it was made with the models/tools table, how it works, the
comparison with the XBLA projects).
- Release notes: upgrade and code-signing callouts, Highlights, Downloads,
Getting started, Added/Fixed/Changed without internal finding labels, a
shorter known-issues list, Tested on, Thanks, Verify (incl. attestation).
- ROADMAP: v0.7.0 rows for the macOS first-launch black window and the pixel
gate vs the Auto frame-cap default. building.md: ROM table link.
- 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

- release notes, findings D578/D580/D581/D643-D646 + index, porting notes
Experimental macOS on Apple Silicon (record merge).
The content of this PR shipped in v0.6.0 via the macos-arm64 integration
line (D585-D613) and is carried by the commit above the merge in this
history; the release line uses maintainer squashes for its own work, so
this merge records the PR against that history. See the PR for the full
diff, and D600/D601-era notes for the port_addr decision made with the
author. Intel (x86_64) status: see issue #154.
- Pages: the two cblock sections render as markdown under GitHub Pages'
kramdown (markdown="1"); the Download block's unparsed `<file>` had swallowed
every heading below it. Gallery alt text says 3840x2160.
- Credit line (README "How it was made" + social preview card): several coding
agents directed by one maintainer, with a handful of contributors; card
findings count 430.
- Release-notes template: drop the stale header-stills comment and the Aztec
re-check-owed note.
- ROADMAP: Windows display-scaling (not DPI-aware) item
D572: CI-tarball verification (glibc floor, X220 + Deck fresh
install, 21/21 pixel gate on both).
Video.CrosshairPersistent, F10 Game page after Show crosshair. Merged with
the 2026-10-01 review conditions: both display-mode presets set it off,
tip added, gunDrawSight change is draw-only (Rule 2 sign-off by the
maintainer, 2026-10-06). Default off is pixel-identical (Dam gate PASS).
Fixes:
- D565: AI awareness no longer follows two player render settings. Fog
distance is floored at 100 (below it the shortened clip hid guards from
AI on-screen checks); the D466 gameplay fog cull is rescaled to the game's
own FOV (identity at defaults).
- D566: Steam Deck Game Mode no longer shows the on-screen keyboard at
launch (SDL text input stopped; screen-keyboard hint off).
- D567: opening PC Options from the front end with a pad no longer drags
the game's crosshair to the top-left corner.
Docs and site:
- README News/Status/Features/controls brought up to date; the unpublished
v0.4.1 work is folded into v0.5.0 everywhere; stats to v0.5.0.
- Release notes reordered: player-facing highlights first, finding labels
and verification at the bottom.
- Site status rewritten; favicon is now the exe icon (make_icon.py writes
docs/favicon.ico).
- ROADMAP: AI review results, update-check follow-up, stale rows closed.
Verified: Windows + Linux builds; Windows pixel gate Surface 1 PASS;
Deck build deployed for the maintainer's Game Mode checks.
Deck/Windows playtest fixes: fog rework (D540) and RSP-style CPU near-plane
clip with per-vertex N64 fog (D543), with fog recomputed on near-plane-clipped vertices as the RSP does,
so the haze around the player stays steady (D553); colour-combiner clamp for banded walls
(D548); rocket and thrown-item stack overflows (D545, D549); menu
double-trigger mitigation (D541); Dam ending first-shot camera swivel
restored by removing an old port look-at workaround (D552); settings standardisation (D546), live
All unlocked (D547), F10 mouse (D544); static window title and the project
mark (the in-game crosshair shape, site gold) as window/taskbar icon and
favicon (D550). Reference frames re-based
on Windows, Linux and Steam Deck (A/B-confirmed); capture_p7.sh runs on
Windows. Opt-in update check, off by default (D551: one HTTPS request to
GitHub per launch when enabled; winhttp.dll loaded only then; the tag CI
job checks the tag against GE007_VERSION). Release notes, ROADMAP,
internals and security docs updated; tree-hygiene pass.

Public-copy language pass, homepage restructure and Documentation rename,
404 page, dead-anchor and permalink fixes, release-gate sign-off, and the

Refs: #99 D416 D417 D418 D419 D422 D428 D448 D450 #122
#88 added <errno.h> to the POSIX include block, ahead of ultra64.h.
glibc defines errno as a macro, (*__errno_location ()), which rewrites
the N64 `u8 errno;` fields in PR/os.h (OSContStatus, OSContPad,
OSContRamIo) and fails with "field '__errno_location' declared as a
function". Include it after ultra64.h/bondtypes.h instead. Nothing in
this file reads those struct fields; errno is only read by the mmap
failure diagnostic. No change on Windows.
#88's original commit (62b21054) conflicts with current main. The same
change, rebased onto main by danturn with the conflicts resolved, is
carried as ae1884cc (same author) at the base of #95. This merge keeps
that resolved tree exactly, so the tree is identical to ae1884cc, and
brings in #88's original head so the PR is recorded as merged.
- v0.4.0 status framing (the most complete release to date; the common
defect classes fixed; a short list of known caveats) and the pre-1.0
note, on both the README and the Pages home page.
- Dated release news section with links to the GitHub release tags.
- Keyword-reinforced meta descriptions; site masthead tagline.
- Accuracy: options section list per the shipped overlay, Xbox 1.1 (Jinx)
controller roles (D394), Select opens the overlay, Deck 2x MSAA / 250%
preset, background stats, footer last-updated stamp.
11 rows per page now (was 13) so the bottom line of the paper is always
free for the page hint -- page 1 of a multi-page section shows
'Down: next page' after all (a full 13-row page had no room and no
hint, reported from the Deck). Hint wording drops the confusing
chevrons: 'Down: next page' / 'Up: previous page'.
Per user reports on the v0.4.0 front screen: the X/Y axis look
sensitivity (controller) labels ran into the fixed 232px slider track.
Bars now start 10px past each row's measured label (rows too long for
any track show the value only); drag hit-test and A-hold mapping use
the same per-row origin. Page 2 of a multi-page section now carries an
explicit dim 'Page p/N' marker right of the title plus a bottom hint
('Down: more rows >' / 'Up: previous page <') wherever the page has
room below; the (p/N) title suffix is retired. GE_FRONTOPTS_WIDTHS
one-shot label-metrics log added (same env-gated diagnostic
convention).
INPUT (17 visible rows) outgrew the fixed 440x330 paper: the 18px pitch
was sized before the D356 profile row, so a full page's last row landed
at y=335 (off the bottom of the screen) and rows past the silent 14-row
cap (Crouch mode, Reset to defaults, Bindings...) were unreachable from
the front screen. Sections now page at 13 rows (the largest that fits);
the vertical stepper crosses page boundaries in both directions and the
title carries a (p/N) marker. F10 overlay untouched (it scrolls its own
window). Headless verification (SkipIntro boot + scripted D-pad stepping
+ GE_FRONTNAVLOG): page 1 -> page 2 down and back up, all 17 rows
reachable. GE_FRONTOPTIONS_AUTO test hook added (diagnostic-only, same
convention as GE_FRONTOPTIONS_SECTION). Findings D406 + index; release
notes: options section list corrected to the shipped Input/Gameplay/HUD/
Graphics/Audio/Display and the D406 line added.
Plain declarative prose throughout the overview and section intros - no
product-page register, no first-person winks. Structure carries the period
feel: top anchor-nav line (middot separators), a dated news line for the
release, --- section rules, and a last-updated footer stamp.
- Docs site: drop jekyll-theme-cayman for a hand-rolled _layouts/default.html
(masthead band + middot text nav + footer with last-updated stamp and legal
line; head re-plumbed with {% seo %}, viewport, favicon); head-custom.html
fully rewritten to the chosen design tokens - charcoal/off-white/amber,
Libre Baskerville headings over system sans, square corners, 1px borders,
flat (no gradients/shadows), mermaid wrapper re-skinned.
- docs/index.md: v0.4.0 status (native widescreen, aim system, rebinding,
crosshair, rumble, rebuilt overlay); Honest status replaced by the v0.4.0
release-notes known issues; body anchor-nav line; legal footer moved to
layout.
- security-and-fidelity-status.md: front matter so {% seo %} titles it.
- README.md: v0.4.0 truth pass (status, Working/Known issues, Deck preset
2x MSAA / 250% per code, background stats 981 commits / 283 findings,
comparison table, GEPD-default controls paragraph, earlier builds) plus
markdown-native motifs matching the site: top anchor-nav line, --- section
rules, last-updated footer stamp, license badge in the amber accent.
- release-notes: SFTP sideload mention (leftover from the Deck session).
Port-layer only: resolve_msaa_color_buffer clamps msaa_level to the driver's
GL_MAX_SAMPLES (pre-fix: unallocated multisample renderbuffers -> black
screen when MSAA is set beyond driver support); the resolve/copy paths now
bind current_framebuffer ? framebuffers[i].fbo : 0 (the default framebuffer
is GL name 0, not framebuffers[0]). Affects both Windows (opengl32) and
Linux builds. Code file from the PR head (fc092d99); docs in house style,
label rebased D323 -> D405 (collision with our G_TL_LOD finding).
Port-layer only (port/src/input.c, optionsoverlay.c); zero src/game edits.
All new knobs off/neutral at default = byte-identical at defaults.
New controller input options (CONTROLLER-INPUT-PLAN Wave A):
- Input.PadLookSensX/Y: per-axis right-stick look sensitivity (100 = native)
- Input.PadSouthpaw: swap fire<->grenade triggers (applied after edge capture,
so edge-detection stays consistent)
- Input.PadDeadzoneL/R: per-stick deadzone; legacy Input.PadDeadzone key kept
registered (no row) + one-time migration in inputInit() seeds any unset L/R
from it (C-init sentinel PAD_DZ_UNSET) before the first configSave
- Input.PadLookSmooth: 0-10 per-pad EMA low-pass on the natural-pitch look
output (default 0 = off), reset on pad hot-unplug
- Input.MouseYScale: pre-existing registered key finally gets an INPUT row
Verbiage baseline (Turok PC options menu, user-provided verbatim): Mouse
horizontal/vertical sensitivity, X axis/Y axis look sensitivity, Look
smoothing, Southpaw, Vibration (was "Rumble strength"), Deadzone
(left/right stick). GE keeps one flat INPUT section (D356), so the two
Invert-look rows retain their (mouse)/(controller) suffixes.
Display baseline (Turok scales): sensitivity + deadzone rows render 0-100
with 50 = default (existing calibratedDefault path); look smoothing renders
0-10 via a new dispMax "N/M" row formatter (alongside the existing N/100 and
N/255 special cases).
Tested on a real pad (Windows build) - all six options behave as intended.
Low-hanging-fruit controller/input options ported from the Turok PC port's
menu, scoped as port-layer-only (zero src/ edits): right-stick look X/Y
sensitivity, southpaw trigger swap, per-stick deadzone (with the legacy
single-deadzone migration), look smoothing, and a mouse-vertical-sensitivity
row. All off-by-default (byte-identical at defaults, golden gate preserved).
Documents what the GE port already has, the per-item code shape + insertion
points in input.c, and the Tier B/C items explicitly out of scope (head bob,
bloom/shadows, death-cam, uncapped-FPS -> UNLOCKED-FPS-PLAN, controller
rebind -> PR #109).
After regenerating the Deck's pcmodels/pccg sidecars from the current
converter (M-197 blob fix + D303) and pushing them, the user re-checked
the front end on the Steam Deck and confirmed the Nintendo/GoldenEye logo
+ copyright/legal page now render correctly. D403 was the stale-sidecar
test artifact all along; no code was ever at fault.
The Deck bundle's stale 0.3.0-era pcmodels/pccg sidecars were regenerated
from the current Python-source converter (prepare-assets.py + d43/d69/d88,
ALL CHECKS PASSED) on the NTSC ROM and pushed to the Deck (sha256-verified),
preserving the user's ge007.eep + ge007.ini. Awaiting the user's by-eye
front-end recheck (logo/copyright page) to close the loop.
- D402: first clean Linux build fix (shim include-cycle + _SHIFTL).
- D403 (new): Deck front-end logo/copyright page broken + graphics not
updated is a test artifact — the bundle was seeded with 0.3.0-era
sidecars that predate the D75/M-197 blob fix and D303; not a code
regression. Disambiguation: regenerate the Deck's data/ sidecars.
- D404 (new): 'Aim style: Centred (PC)' is inert on a gamepad; the row's
doc comment over-promises (applies to pad trigger) but the centred
path is mouse-only (input.c:1783, D337 device-aware gate).
- Deck test confirmations: D175 gains a low-utilisation (~15-30%)
frame-pacing/present data point; D395 pad-binding retest satisfied
(not stuck); D401 rumble + D287 idle/resume-from-sleep confirmed on
the Deck's Steam Controller / SteamOS.
