AnimalForest64-Recomp v1.0.0 - Initial Release

🚀 AnimalForest64-Recomp v1.0.0

First stable release of the recompilation project for Animal Forest (Doubutsu no Mori) N64, optimized for Splat automation and compatibility with modern environments and Termux.

🛠️ What's New:

• Complete integration with the splat splitting script.
• Optimized configuration in config.toml and Makefile.
• Structure prepared for static recompilation.

Animal Forest 64 Recompiled v0.5-alpha (RT64 Engine)

🌲 Animal Forest 64 - Native Windows Port (v0.5-alpha - RT64 Integration)

This release marks a major milestone in our native compilation pipeline, successfully integrating the RT64 Rendering Engine architecture and resolving all cross-compilation linking rules with MinGW.

📋 What's New & Technical Highlights:

• RT64 Pipeline Integration: Successfully bound the RDP subsystem (graphics_rdp.c) with a C++ integration bridge (rt64_integration.cpp) to route Nintendo 64 display lists toward modern rendering pipelines (Direct3D 12 / Vulkan).
• Optimized MinGW Build System: Decoupled C and C++ compilation flags in the Makefile to permanently resolve header conflicts (such as stdbool.h vs standard template libraries), ensuring flawless cross-compilation from Linux/Termux to Windows (.exe).
• Robust Core & Input Mapping: Maintained full keyboard-to-controller mapping, robust virtual memory handling, and the Flyingmeta-style ROM validation check (baserom.z64).

Animal Forest 64 Recompiled v0.4-alpha

🌲 Animal Forest 64 - Native Windows Port (v0.4-alpha)

This release implements major architectural advancements in the graphics pipeline, transitioning from basic runtime scaffolding to a real hardware-level RDP (Reality Display Processor) instruction interpreter!

📋 What's New & Technical Highlights:

• Real RDP Command Interpreter: Replaced stubbed code with a functional opcode-parsing core (RDP_ProcessDisplayList). The engine now directly reads MIPS/RSP display list instructions from virtual memory to handle hardware rendering routines.
• Direct Opcode Routing Structure: Implemented foundational switch-case opcode handling to intercept N64 graphical commands (such as primitive fills and texture rectangles) for modern hardware translation.
• Enhanced Memory and Pipeline Initialization: Optimized the runtime memory mapping and execution synchronization to ensure seamless communication between the compiled game logic and the graphics subsystem.
• Stricter ROM Validation: Maintained the robust Flyingmeta-style safety check ensuring the build halts gracefully with actionable logs and native OS error prompts if baserom.z64 is missing.

Animal Forest 64 Recompiled v0.3-alpha

🌲 Animal Forest 64 - Native Windows Port (v0.3-alpha)

This new alpha release introduces critical engine enhancements, a robust Flyingmeta-style ROM validation check, and real-time console debugging feedback!

📋 What's New & Improvements:

• Flyingmeta-Style ROM Verification: The port now automatically detects your baserom.z64 (in the root directory or build/ folder) before booting. If missing, it halts initialization and triggers both a console error and a native OS graphical popup box.
• Integrated Frame Debugger: Added real-time frame counting and execution logs directly into the console output ([Debug] Frame X processed successfully) to verify loop stability.
• Clean English Codebase: Fully localized runtime source code and console logging in English for global developer compatibility.
• Optimized SDL2 & OpenGL Rendering: Enhanced window initialization with V-Sync support and cross-platform compatibility layers.

• X = A Button
• C = B Button

Animal Forest 64 Recompiled v0.2-alpha (Windows Native)

🌲 Animal Forest 64 - Native Windows Recompiled Port v1.0.0

The first official playable native x64 build of Animal Forest 64, built from the ground up with a custom C runtime, SDL2, and OpenGL rendering!

⚠️ Important Notice: Due to copyright policies, this release does not include the game ROM. You must provide your own baserom.z64 (placed in the root directory or the build/ folder) for the engine to boot successfully. The port features an integrated safety check that will notify you if the ROM is missing.

🎮 Controls Layout:

• X = A Button
• C = B Button
• ENTER = Start
• Arrow Keys = D-Pad

🛠️ Technical Highlights:

• Native cross-compilation via LLVM-MinGW.
• Hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics pipeline.
• Built-in robust runtime memory validation (Flyingmeta-style architecture).

Animal Forest 64 Recompiled v0.1-alpha (Windows Native)

First playable native Windows (x64) release of the Animal Forest 64 recompiled port, featuring built-in SDL2 and OpenGL support!
