If you made one demo scene with like one building with maximally detailed textures and geometry to push the N64 visual limits, you would blow your size budget. Goldeneye had to fit in 12 MB, using a pretty immature asset optimization pipeline.<br/>A single 2k x 2k 32bit uncompressed image is bigger than the entire Goldeneye ROM. 2026-02-17T23:39:23Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsr0a4tz9ggjtvt99pw3pgjw9fk53jvp025j4np6qupes7ur4nd9tgzyzslcx8929ck8zmnxtevch8y39j5a5ealzncx5e09f63679p4urtw5skmn6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2yfvy04vev0q3vh506pjszgt8v7pc3mk9cgrjcjzf87ym8cyeu5cpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43z7l5ux8g'>nevent1q…ux8g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kytcqyq52r7fycawgsg8ursrsv5mvrp0rueurptd6sc35gel35qgd84hx5cjmfuv" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kytcqyq52r7fycawgsg8ursrsv5mvrp0rueurptd6sc35gel35qgd84hx5cjmfuv</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…mfuv</span>)</a></span> Imagine an iGPU, but with nothing like OpenGL/CUDA/Vulkan/OpenCL drivers for it.
