Native GoldenEye port running without N64 emulation overhead.

Strengths

•Builds on established N64 decomp ecosystem like sm64 and oot projects
•Native rendering translates N64 display lists to modern GPU APIs
•Asset-free binary loads textures and audio from user's ROM at runtime

Weaknesses

•Experimental status with no byte-matching N64 ROM rebuild yet
•Requires legally-dumped ROM, limiting immediate accessibility

Post Description

I used Codex (and some Claude) in order to decomp and port Goldeneye for N64 into a native build. This work furthers existing decomp work and builds on the broader community.
