wow OP nice find!

whatm i supposed to see

>>6691027
I think OP is pointing out some texture issues on the stairs?

>>6690980
I noticed that it's not a stealth GBA, GC, XBOX, or PS2 thread.

>>6691027
Looks like the UV mapping on the stairs changed between revisions

>>6691096
interesting. i'm guessing they changed it from an upright diagonal-line texture to a tilted straight-line texture to work better with the bilinear texture interpolation. i didn't realize this was an issue and had a work around

>>6691027
The N64 had 3 point texture filtering. Bottom is what it's supposed to look like, but most emulators show top.

>>6691096
>>6691118
no

Does the Mario 64 PC port use 3-point filtering?

i made this composite, it was in response to someone talking about N64's bilinear filtering
the top screenshot is with an emulator using regular bilinear filtering
the bottom screenshot is with an emulator using N64's 3-point bilinear approximation
point being that N64's filtering is a simplified version of bilinear that causes some weird effects, including causing a kind of diagonal blurring, which is exploited here by modelling the stairs to match it
this is the same revision of the game, the only difference is the filtering method (regular bilinear vs. n64's actual method)

His ankle is fucked. that's why you don't run down the stairs kids.

>>6691048
Though it probably should be.

>>6690980
Fuck you. Now I'm blind.

>>6690980
I always look for it now that I know what to look for.

>>6690980
Use parallel and look again

>>6691364
The emulator 3-point still doesn't looks quite right. I hate the N64 but there's an angular smear that I don't recall being in there in the original hardware, the bottom of the staircase where the rim of the stairs has the texture widens seems to be inaccurate. Still better than nothing.

>implying everyone's computer can run that zoomer bloatware

Dude, kid Link is TINY

>>6690980
There's nothing noteworthy in that picture so I guess you have autism?

I actually had to tilt my head 90 degrees and cross my eyes to tell the difference. Good spot though.

>>6691181
Yes you can see streaks on the brickwork at the same angle on the bottom one.

>>6693470
If you care about accuracy then maybe don’t complain?

>>6692241
the bottom of the stairs do look like that

>>6693470
sorry your piece of shit can't keep up with literal cellphones
