Any place where we can test the llm output without loading it on n64?

Curious of what we can get out of those constraints.

shomp•1h ago
Cool, is there maybe a video demonstrating this?
AutoJanitor•1h ago
Yes it runs on emulator. I am fixing the endianess text issue from llm output right now. And the surprise is coming soon. Happy 40th Zelda!

I tried to build this but it's missing the weights.bin file and my computer is too weak to generate it. Can you add it to the repo?

I normally don't write comments like this, but... this title was extremely challenging to parse.

The repo description on GitHub would have been fine

> World's First LLM-powered Nintendo 64 Game — nano-GPT running on-cart on a 93MHz VR4300

The readme says:

> This isn't just a tech demo — it's a tool for N64 homebrew developers. Running an LLM natively on N64 hardware enables game mechanics that were impossible in the cartridge era:

> AI analyzes play style and adjusts on the fly

> NPCs that remember previous conversations and reference past events

> In-game level editors where you describe what you want to build

...anyone who has ever used very small language models before should see the problem here. They're fun and interesting, but not exactly, um, coherent.

The N64 has a whopping 8 megabytes (!) of memory, and that's with the expansion pack!

I'm kind of confused, especially since there are no demonstration videos. Is this, um, real? The repository definitely contains source code for something.

You mean to tell me the included screenshot hasn't convinced you?

This feels like an AI agent doing it's own thing. The screenshot of this working is garble text (https://github.com/sophiaeagent-beep/n64llm-legend-of-Elya/b...), and I'm skeptical of reasonable generation with a small hard-coded training corpus. And the linked devlog on youtube is quite bizzare too.

It's best to flag this fake garbage shit and move on.
gbnwl•4m ago
It totally is. The fact that this post has gotten this many upvotes is appalling.
