i dont really understand... are all of the high res pictures just mods that a texture artist has emulated?

I was wondering the same thing and no one seems to have asked it so far lol.

Ol' Wikipedia provided the answer..."The original game is displayed on the Nintendo 64 with a resolution of 320 × 240, but the GameCube ports run at 640 × 480 and support progressive scan."

What a ridiculously incredibly amazing game OoT was.

Along with Goldeneye, it made those dark days of my N64 worth it



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

@ymeaga1n
so its a n64 game that is running on a gc or just a comparison between a LOZ on GC and LOZ on N64?

Comparision between LOZ on N64 and LOZ(rerelease) on GC .

It is an enhanced rom I believe. Unless nintendo added better textures in the GC version they are teh same just one renders at a higher resolution, showing more jaggies. This is done by people who did it for recreation purposes.

Ok I'll explain again, people dump ROM's from the original N64 cartridges on to their computers so they have what is essentially an identical image of the cartridge in a digital format.

The more clever of those guys can hack into the ROM's and replace files in the game with their own. This is how you get hacked ROM images such as those which may play the game differently or open up cheats or just plain ol' fuck the game up. In these cases, texture artists are replacing the original low-res textures with their own created hi-res textures and then recompiling the game image.

At least I think that's it - anyone with the know-how do please feel free to correct me where wrong! :P

The end result is a ROM dump similar to what they started with, but now modified and these can be run on common N64 emulators. So it's still an N64 game, but it is modified. The Gamecube doesn't come into it - it was the exact same game on the GC as it was on the N64.
