A dev recreated Super Mario Bros level 1 pixel-by-pixel in free Godot Engine

Super Smash Bros. is poised for an unofficial Android adaptation after the Nintendo 64 classic has been fully decompiled. The 1999 fighting game, which has been unavailable through official channels for years and isn't currently playable on Nintendo Switch consoles, is now fully decompiled, opening the door to native ports. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 64's source code has been completely recreated, and it's ready to be ported to modern hardware.

This comes as Nintendo is notoriously tight-lipped about providing accessible, legitimate access to its extensive library of classic games. Fans have taken it upon themselves to decompile old favorites, recreating their source code to enable easy (though unofficial) porting to contemporary platforms like Windows and Android. Now, another inaccessible classic has been made ripe for porting: Super Smash Bros., which has been fully decompiled.

According to Decomp.dev, the game is now "100.00% decompiled," meaning its source code has been fully recreated and it's ready for porting. Compared to emulated games, decompiled source code ports can run natively on modern hardware, delivering superior performance, mod support, and more.

I hosted my no-Mac iOS pipeline as a browser wizard (and dropped the price to $1 for a day)

A while back I wrote about the GitHub Actions pipeline I built to ship Citolex to the App Store without ever owning a Mac. The pipeline itself hasn't changed much, but how you set it up has.

  • Users pay $1 to use no-Mac iOS pipeline via browser wizard
  • Pipeline wizard handles Git operations, signing secrets, checks
  • Cloudflare Worker runs pipeline without macOS, uses standard crypto formats
