This is one of my favorite libraries from the premise alone. Here is an example of Mario in Half-Life 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld3qhqkegNw

How many Portal test chambers could be solved with Mario 64 jumping alone, and no use of any portal gun?

That is amazing and it makes me smile

This is incredible. This was the promise of the proclamations of "the metaverse" or interchangeable crypto game items/characters, but is using none of those things. Like Ready Player One come to life without the hype.

Curious how easy the setup is for gamers who are non-engineers

Metaverse without Crypto/VR/Facebook is fantastic and is bound to happen.

Metaverse is just people building cool stuff in a way that builds and compounds.

Critically - hopefully - in a way that can't be owned as a central platform.

Wrap it in an API, sell Mario 64 as a service.

I imagine Nintendo is a bit more like malfunctioning ED-209 in the office scene than a person with a rifle.

Nintendo did put down their rifles after they fired multiple shots into the head and then the sued.

Looks like this has been around for a while now, are there any interesting projects using it?

Someone created an AR sandbox using it on the Quest 3. The player draws platforms and mario can jump around on the platforms and on your couch and stuff. That is probably the killer app of VR that everyone has waited for.

So let me get this straight, is the intent of this so that if you have some game like Call of Duty, you could use this to just add Mario running around in there jumping around like it was SM64?

It's specifically about the mechanics/physics rather than the model, but yes.

I'd love the Perfect Dark recompilation working under GL 2.1:

That port is amazing, probably one of my most played games on my steam deck. What is GL 2.1?
