he box art looks better than originals TBH.. I don't care if its AI. Why pay an artist to make those awful USA box arts for decades on USA carts lol....

 

[Maximecool]

This ROM hack is amazing! All the nods and references included truly pay tribute to Banjo-Kazooie.

I haven't played this Romhack but it looks great for a romhack of a great game that is Banjo-Kazooie.

Thanks for posting this great banjo mod! I have been waiting for it since i played the older stay at home mod which stated that future updates would be called Nostalgia 64. Some really good improvements have been added since then such as the improved level hub too. Glad to finally get to play the updated version.

Its actually kinda funny how fast you can look at something like this and tell it's AI.

It's somewhat comforting, isn't it? a sign we are still human.

Seems like a fine hack. Besides the AI slop, cover art.

The actual cover art is at the top of the thread. Regardless, box art a good or bad game does not make.

same buddy. Same.

 

[Vitilio]

Glad someone added this here. Kurko Mods putting it on Patron was just STUPID.

It is in his Youtube channel

Works on android?

Uhhhh yes? I think the Github page has an android section so I'm assuming it does

Yea but looks cool none the less

The ingame bar code thing still worked even with texture filters on. Just thought that was neat.

Here's the "official" cover art for Nostalgia 64 from Kurko.

That cover looks AI

It's definitely AI based on the user's DeviantArt. Also, doesn't look like the 'official' boxart (but Patreon blurs that for non-Patrons :/ )

Anyone know how this runs on real hardware, specifically on a SummerCart64? I'm gonna test what I can later, but I obviously can't exhaustively. If anyone's successfully completed the hack that way, chime in

Update: Played it a bit on real hardware using a SummerCart64, and it ran smoothly! Or at least glitchless so far. It's taxing the hardware a bit, so don't expect stable 30fps or anything. I'm not sure if it runs at all without an expansion pak as I don't have a jumper pak to test with. But still, really cool hack so far!

That cover looks AI

It's probably just a composite. Looks nice to me.

Launchbox or OpenEmu. The N64 cores work good. You may lose audio though, but still plays really good.

Thank u :) Ive been waiting for this one

 

[Novicier nocive]

Doesn't that also means that it could close it's Patreon account by hosting a mod and having a paywall?
