Read the actual post and then look at the image. The problem Anon has is they changed the text.

This.
If you like the other graphics then you'll no doubt be able to swap the textures for custom ones eventually so you can just use those when that happens.
The only other big differences are the controls, arguing over that is moot since you can already remap things however you want, and even if you need something extra you can modify the source to do more than was originally allowed like mapping specific functions to whatever you want, as was already done for the keyboard controls giving things like 'reload' a dedicated key separate from 'use', etc.

Online multiplayer would need to be reworked for either version anyway since the original didn't have it and the XBLA one relied on Xbox services.
Reversing the XBLA one is likely more complicated as well, especially with all the knowledge and tooling that already exists for reversing N64 specific binaries.

>N-bomb, tranq, and disarm only
This is the only correct way to play.

I'm gonna throw the N-bomb.

That should be possible.
Someone is adding keys for other functions like reloading https://github.com/fgsfdsfgs/perfect_dark/pull/28
You could ask if they'll add crouching or something. Or make the modification yourself using knowledge from that diff.

I think Anon is talking about how it's a work in progress. It's playable but obviously incomplete. I think the progress made so far is great. Pretty much every issue I encountered got patched within the same day I encountered it.

I usually link this article when the topic comes up
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/05/beyond-emulation-the-massive-effort-to-reverse-engineer-n64-source-code/

Gives a broad overview of the skills needed and you can investigate more from there.

Doesn't let you drop the N-bomb in anal land.
