MattKC just posted a video that, if true, points out an interesting choice by Nintendo’s Mario 64 dev team: Apparently they didn’t use optimization when compiling the C code used in the NTSC versions of the game. This resulted in certain areas being really slow and dropping well below the goal of 30fps. The video […]
