The more this is spread around, the more likely Nintendo is going to C&D and probably attempt to sue the people responsible for doing this.

Such is life in the realm of "muh intellectual property rights!!!!"...

It's already out there, good luck to Nintendo with getting the genie back in the bottle. It will now be 'unofficially' ported to every system on this planet including calculators and toasters very soon.

Oh of course how could I forget the wonders of the Streisand effect!

I'm not sure if Super Mario 64 can be reasonably "ported", don't forget how esoteric the N64 was in underlying functionality.

Well, shouldn't be too difficult to graft in some Nintendo emulation code to emulate some N64-specific stuff, at which point you end up with something that can probably run on most platforms with SDL/OpenGL/whatever.

Knowing how Nintendo is trigger-easy when it comes to DMCA and litigation... I'm not expecting this to stay up for long.

It's been up long enough.

For a second, I thought the OP was talking about Superman 64 being decompiled. I guess even subconsciously I'm always looking for people who share my perverse sense of humour.

Certain things are better left as binaries...

Such as NinjaBread Man for the Wii?

A few years ago someone recreated Bomb Omb Battlefield in Unity 3D. It got shot down by Nintendo quickly.

This is interesting. Nice idea to have source code released from older stuff like this, for people who may be interested in compiling it to make their own versions and such. Though sometimes that can lead to some trouble in some situations.

Maybe it would be a real challenge. Could anybody get that mess and make something playable?

Fix all the glitches and you're left with a boring, repetitive waste of time.

it would be awesome if someone port this on a, let's say, a dreamcast or even a PS1 😀

Somebody in the GBAtemp thread made a snark about an RTX port. I would LEGIT LOVE to see that happen.

The quality of the code is surprisingly good. I think there was a lot of manual tuning for function and variable names as well as code style. However there are some functions that suggest they haven't been touched and it's unclear what they do:

1static void func_80263C14(struct MarioState *m)
2{
3    m->pos[1] = m->floorHeight;
4    func_80379AA4(D_80339F50[m->unk00], m->pos, m->faceAngle[1], 40.0f);
5    m->marioObj->header.gfx.throwMatrix = &D_80339F50[m->unk00];
6}

You missed the word "playable". Obviously fixing bugs won't make it playable (although the real challenge would be making it enjoyable).

"Officially" really isn't the right word.

What, you don't find endless levels of rings to be cool?
