Perfect Dark port

This repository contains a work-in-progress port of the Perfect Dark decompilation to modern platforms.

To run the port, you must already have a Perfect Dark ROM, specifically the ntsc-final/revision 1 version
(md5 e03b088b6ac9e0080440efed07c1e40f).

Status

Currently only 32-bit platforms are supported, namely x86 Windows and Linux. Note that 32-bit binaries will still work on 64-bit versions of those platforms, though you might have to install some additional libraries.

The game is in a somewhat functional but probably unstable state. There are major graphical issues, minor audio issues and possibly other issues. Splitscreen modes currently do not work.

There are currently no "extra features" implemented, such as widescreen, except for janky mouselook, arbitrary 4:3 resolution support and somewhat expanded heap size.

Running

You can get the latest Windows and Linux binaries from the latest CI run in the Actions tab.
Note that you must already have a Perfect Dark ROM to run the game, as specified above.

1. Create a directory named data next to pd.exe.
2. Put your Perfect Dark ROM named pd.ntsc-final.z64 into it.
3. Run pd.exe.

Building

1. Ensure you have SDL2, libGL and ZLib installed on your system.
2. Run make -f Makefile.port in the perfect_dark directory.
3. The resulting executable will be at build/ntsc-final-port/pd.exe.

If cross-compiling, specify the target platform on the make command line like so:
make -f Makefile.port TARGET_PLATFORM=i686-linux

Currently only i686-linux and i686-windows are supported, using gcc -m32 and i686-w64-mingw32-gcc as compilers, respectively.
This means that on Windows you have to build this under a 32-bit MinGW environment and on Linux you need to have gcc-multilib and g++-multilib (or your distro's analogues) installed.
Alternate compilers can be specified by passing TOOLCHAIN=i686-whatever- as a command line argument.
