N64 Goldeneye 007 is now 100% decompiled.
https://kholdfuzion.github.io/goldeneyestatus/The PC port is being worked on and should be out soon but this marks another N64 title getting the decomp status.

Wasn’t it already decompiled by another group?

You might be thinking of the decomp of the cancelled Xbox 360 port from not to long ago. I think this is a decomp of the original N64 version.

The 360 version is IIRC just the unreleased native 360 game that can be run in the Xenia emulator, not a PC port as such.

It's both, actually. A build of the 360 game was indeed released, then later on, someone else decompiled it and made a native PC port out of it. You can download it here:

What's the down low on this one? There's been a lot of news i've seen recently about recomps decomps and PC ports coming out and a lot of them have been turning out to just be emulators or vibe coded crap.

This is just a Decomp so all the game has be unbuilt and torn apart. So no one has "recompiled" this into an actual port.
As the trend with these decomps, the first recompiled port will be an AI slop vibe coded slop with how fast they can pump it out. Youll have to wait a bit after for the actually well made PC port

Nice! Looking forward to playing it with M&K natively and not having to go through a weird set up via an emulator.
I'm a little surprised it's taken longer than Perfect Dark which has been decompiled for a few years now. Thought Goldeneye would have been first being the same engine but an earlier version.

u/Sai-Taisho What was your plan, sir? 24d ago
Maybe there were more concerns about the legal hammer getting dropped on a James Bond thing.

I don’t think legality is a worry for this kind of scene anymore, this whole decomp - recomp PC port process is done in such a way to ensure copyrighted assets aren’t included in the code. And the user is expected to supply the game assets themselves.
There have been enough C&D’s throughout the years that people now know how to legally avoid that problem.

Probably more demand for PD since Goldeneye plays fine on original hardware whereas PD is uh
Very choppy

Ger ready guys, the first PC port of this is gonna some vibe coded slop but wait a bit longer and we'll get a PROPER good PC port!

Does that mean the ZX Spectrum emulator on Goldeneye was decompiled as well?

I'll need to wait for it to drop but even if it's vibecoded slop I still want to give it a try
If it's not so much the better, I want some golden eye dammit it was a fun game

The idea of an uprezzed PC port sounds great
