This port looked incredible. It's such a shame it had to stop. I grew up in the Nintendo 64 era and although Portal 64 did not exist back then, it did bring back an odd sense of nostalgia.
Definitely. I used to play N64 games on emulator in the early 2000s and this port feels like part of those memories.
what are you talking about everyone remembers portal 64 released by valve on steam 64
I subscribed to both of your channels.

Nigtendo strikes fear in peoples hearts with their rabid lawyers even in Valve itself...
Only worse is Take Two
technically nintendo didn't do anything in this case, but valve's concern over whatever action nintendo _might_ take is rather telling
@@CocoTheMiitrue but nintendo would probably still take action if valve wouldn't
@@amogusaveragefan4990 thats exactly why valve took action
if they pretended they do not see it, nintendo would likely get on their ass about it
Maybe if the homebrew didn't use proprietary libraries it would've been safer.
The people who optimize Nintendo 64 are crazy. There's a video by Kaze Emanuar where he optimized Mario 64 to run 6 times faster. VROOM VROOM!
Kaze's stuff is equally crazy! They made quite the achievmeent optimizing the heck of the mario 64 code base to at some point seems like they created their very own engine out of it. Feels like they replace most of if not all of the OG code at that point.
@Deliveredmean42 At this point, he has. He's re-wrote every line of code & optimized every model and texture to the point where none of it is the same as what Nintendo used.
And hopefully it'll require a rom of Mario 64 so Nintendo doesn't rip out his intestines.
@@pacomatic9833 it does, he's been doing it for years and has multiple completed projects
Nintendo try not to ruin everyone's fun challenge (impossible)
It's so weird to see Valve take down a fan project since to me they were the ones that were really chill with mods, but I can understand them taking down Team Fortress source 2 and Portal 64, the former for using their assets, and the latter because of Nintendo.
If Nintendo was smart they would give this their ok. It is great pr showing what their old hardware can still do.
yeah, like, just reach out to the guy and give him a license to use the library (that, at this point, would be defunct if not by people like him anyway). No real IP to "protect" here.
Good thing there's a new video out
My wife left me for a 2007 Honda Civic
Damn, shawty must really like that car
It's awesome
And valve are cowards
#bringbackportal64
Valve were concerned that Nintendo would pursue them James legally if development of Portal 64 continued due to it using proprietary Nintendo code.
But at least it's better than nintendo filing a class-action lawsuit against you, and yeah valve's stance isn't great too
@@adrianthe402nd I would go down fighting
@@bipolitthefighter2599 If I had a choice between A. stopping the project or B. getting slapped with a class action lawsuit that could leave me in debt for the rest of my life blacklisted from working at any gaming company like Nintendo has done before, I'd take option A
@@RememberCitadelhe also had C. Switching libraries to libredragon
I do need to point out the following: Valve never DMCA'd Portal 64. What they did, is reaching out to the creator, and explicitly made it clear that Nintendo will go after them legally. This is because Nintendo has some proprietary rights to the 64 libraries.
Edit: If it is unclear to some, Valve reached out mainly because their stamp of approval regarding this project can get them into trouble with Nintendo. And as you can tell, they didn't want that.
I mean that's clarified in the first 30 seconds but go off I guess
bro found a way to have a problem with that comment@@INFILTR8US
@@INFILTR8USyou'd be shocked how many people come to a video like this and go straight to the comments without using their ears
The video literally says that...
@@LordVader1094 This video is nice, but other videos mentioned it like "what has Valve turned into, omg"
i hope nobody ever googles the source code and accidentally ports the rest of the levels that would be illegal
Fuck the law
Cgi Zelda guy: "This is illegal you know"
The fact that Valve sent their lawyers to ask questions to the guy, which implied there was a big chance of them allowing the project to be made, but they instantly turned down the project because it uses nintendo assets. Really shows the difference between Valve and Nintendo
The Black Mesa project also shows the difference between Valve and Nintendo. They let Crowbar Collective monetize a full remake of HL1 out of respect for their hard work!
I know that valve makes a lot of money from but nintendo is hella aggressive Not only that nintendo goes by the japanese copyright
What happens if he just keeps working on it in secret and "accidentally" leaks it online?
👀
Valve gets sued to hell, and then Valve will likely sue him for knowingly going ahead with development despite knowing the legal risks.
@@larsthedude1984 It's already been released in different versions. So no?
the portal 64 game is opensource, someone else *could* just take it and work on it
That doesn't remove the problem of a project using unauthorized Nintendo code having a Valve IP slapped on it @@erroroliver
Wish I ever got to play this.
Valve, I completely understand why, but it's Nintendo that's the problem. Creative works are being actively erased because of the copyright/IP system.
Loves the vids you make, unlike dumb laws ❤
its floating around im pretty sure.
Fuck overbearing copyright
I've been following the development of Portal 64 since 2022. I was really hoping to see it finished, but this is an understandable ending. I'm glad Valve didn't DMCA this when they very easily could, and they instead just warned James Lambert about Nintendo's insane copyright abuse. I wish Nintendo was better.
Or he could have continued and helped fight overbearing copyright
@@bipolitthefighter2599 He would also have to drag Valve into the copyright battle in order to do that, and Valve doesn't want to fight Nintendo.
@@awesomesillyman cowards, valve could win
@@bipolitthefighter2599 no? did you watch the video are you deaf its using original nintendo libraries, and for the record valve would NOT win in a case like this
@@ligmatic1469 it's fair use, it was a free product
I hate how people think that Valve has changed and golden age Valve would've never done this when it comes to the takedowns of Portal 64 and TF2: Source 2. Both of the takedowns were justified because potentially getting sued by Nintendo isn't very nice and a mod team that straight up rips TF2 assets to S&Box, which is running on another engine than Source 1 and the game's creator (Garry Newman) who didn't get a permission to use Valve assets, it's justified to give a DMCA takedown for a project like that. I do feel kinda bad for the TF2: Source 2 dev team though, especially if they somehow didn't realize that it would be illegal.
Valve has still changed tho, not in this way.
@@ikagura Yeah, they have definitely changed and they were better back then, but Valve is still probably the only big corporation that I kinda like.
"Golden age valve" wouldnt have have DMCAd TF2 because half of their workshop addons are literally ripped from other games wholesale, almost famously so.
Valve sucks now and have sucked for quite some time.
2:33 Emulator you say? Well, it was nice knowing ya
That new music sounds so sick, love it
I wanted to make a game about not having fun, but Nintendo said I was stealing their content and shut me down
We can wait until Nintendo 64 libraries enter public domain
Except we will have to wait for 70 years
gotta thank Disney for that. Unless Japanese copyright law is different from the US.
or just wait until Nintendo goes bankrupt (2-60 years)
Rad I dare you to do a video on E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy.
I don’t know why people are still defending valve on this. Valve didn’t have to tell him to stop working on his passion project, they could’ve just said hey we can’t publish this on steam and we can’t associate ourselves with it, which is what I would’ve expected but telling him to stop making the game is fucking shitty especially when Nintendo has completely ignored 99% of n64 mods like this.
Nintendo definitely shuts down fan games and that sucks too, but there was no indication that was going to happen with this game but valve did it instead. People should be critical of valve once in a while instead of just assuming they can do no wrong.
They said to switch libraries or stop. He didn't want to. If they let him go and continue developing it the way it was then they are legally liable. James could also get sued, and Valve didn't want that for either of them.
@@dudemydude4969why is valve legally liable for his decision if he self releases? I haven’t seen a real legal argument for that, I don’t know why he ever thought valve would release it on steam, that’s just delusion, but valve telling him to stop making his passion project is just way over the line.
@@Kdkjdjewerdnxaits either he loses money or they save his hide
idior
@@TavernCavernhe wouldn’t be sued for self releasing a game that doesn’t use Nintendo characters, there was never any cease and desist from Nintendo and mods like this never really get taken down unless they use Nintendo characters or worlds, if he was selling it sure they would issue a cease and desist, I don’t know why he ever thought it would be allowed on steam.
Not defending Nintendo but some people are more excited to hate Nintendo than actually look at the situation, valve issued a cease and desist to the tf2 source 2 remake, valve told a man to stop making his passion project even though there was no legal liability whatsoever if he self released it.
I can’t even think of a n64 mod that’s gotten a cease and desist besides ones that are literally mods to Mario, Pokémon, etc. not saying Nintendo should issue cease and desist for those games but again, there was no chance he would be sued by Nintendo if he self released it and it’s fucked up valve told him he had to stop making his passion project. Y’all have Stockholm syndrome, valve hasn’t been pro consumer in a long time as evidenced by the cease and desists they’ve issued and the fact they’ve let tf2 fucking rot while making an overwatch clone instead.

Another example on the long list of how broken copyright is.
Just to clear it up Nintendo didn’t DMCA portal 64. Valve advised the creator to stop development bc they didn’t want Nintendo to go after them and the creator
I love portals
Portal 64 would've been the only way for me to play the game in its entirety on the go with my modded Vita running the emulator DaedalusX64. Thanks to NinDICKdo, that's not gonna happen. James is an impeccable developer and I wish him a super bright future.
I fear for the life of any nintendo lawyers reading this
Gamer have love hate relationship with Nintendo
Literally 1984
Rad brought up TF2 once and now TF2 is under the description.🤣
Never mind they fixed it.
About the tf2 source2, i think it got taken down because it "stole" assets from tf2, or maybe is because they didn't have a license for source 2
Valve should hire him to optimize souce2 games ;)
New Video Yay
I'm the not first!!!
Never ever EVER make a fan project, especially anything that is related to Nintendo, public no matter what it is. Make it and release it quietly and anonymously otherwise it's gonna get shut down.
Or even better: make it unique.
I’m sad to see this go. I REALLY wanted to know if they could pull off GLaDOS on theN64
for the people wondering about tf2 s2:
valve dmca'd them because well, they just ripped the actual tf2 assets so yeah, the issue is that simple and valve's within their rights on this one.
James effed up hard by not just using something like UE5 and MAKING the game visualy look and audiable sound like N64 game.
nahhh no way this was pubblished 20 seconds away btw great vid🔥🔥🔥💪💪
Portal can run on an N64, but not on a Mac. We truly live in a society.
Kid named Wine:
Or virtualization.
Or Boot Camp if you have an Intel Mac.
Or the Game Porting Toolkit if you want to sit at a terminal for an hour.
If you can’t run Portal on a Mac, that’s your problem.
I... Don't think Nintendo would have much of a legal case against Valve at all. Against Jes sure, but Valve? They have no involvement with the development whatsoever, they are not hosting the download of the ROM or source code, he's not even distributing Valve's assets, those had to be ripped from Portal itself and converted to compile the ROM.
Nintendo has a case against James, maybe even a pretty strong one, but against Valve? I'm not doubting they wouldn't at least try to sue, but whether they'd have a winnable court case against Valve I think is highly debatable.
Why did Valve care if the project used libultra? It's neither their project nor their copyrighted SDK.
modern game give ZERO fcks about optimization, except CS2....
idk how that thing run smoothly on my potato laptop
Why tf would they care about a discontinued console from the 90s? Does Nintendo hate people having fun so much?!?
Valve and Nintendo should just work together to make the project officially sanctioned. Perhaps Valve could sell it, and Nintendo can release it as an anniversary surprise.
Portal 1&2 came to the Switch.
Put it on virtaul console or whatever they call it these days
Can you share the background music? It's really good!
Valve definetly did the right thing. It is better they have the project canceled now before both James and them have to deal with Nintendo.
Im still believing that the tf2 port was just lazy developers lying
Start boycotting Nintendo. It's time to let them know their place.
How could Nintendo go after valve for something they have nothing to do with?
the fan made source 2 port of tf2 was taken down because they were using stolen assets
I had been following this for a while, the time I stopped it got taken down.
Such a shame, it would bring back to live the old N64 If they start to make games again...
there is kind of a scene of new n64 games. Most are mods as far as I know, but some are very extensive. Look up Kaze if you're interested in mario 64 based stuff
Was* :D
Valve. Valve 2 .Valve 2 ep 1. Valve. 2 ep 2. Valve. Fuckin Valve. . .
Did Half-life come out in Pakistan?
I've no idea why Nintendo is so worried about a console that hasn't even been manufactured for 20 years getting a port of a 17 year old valve game. It's not like it will cost them any sales or anything.
This isn't the issue, it's about the libraries that are proprietary.
Copyright laws don't care if something isn't sold anymore.
Can you upload a mirror link of this rom?
Nintendo is kind of on the same level as ea nowadays 😂
You might even say it was a triumph
Imagine finding a game like this in 1997
valve should hire him or something
basically what happened is that a valve staff employee contacted james and told him to stop working on the mod, because he was using a Nintendo library, it's not evil or anything, and i see a lot of misinformation lately, so i thought it would be good to correct all misinformation floating around with this comment
Better to be safe than sorry.
It is interesting to be fair...
Loving these recent videos. Keep up the great work.
pepe popo hihi poop

@@RadiationHazardYT Agreed
Well now it isnt lol
Could you do a video on backtracking in Half-Life? I haven't come across a video that shows the instances of it, and there are a few good instances of it in the original. HL2 unfortunately only uses it once, in d2_town_02.
Nintendo going bankrupt would be a net positive to the gaming industry.
I disagree. Nintendo having a thorough leadership overhaul would be a net positive. Their games are still awesome and their consoles, while underpowered, are unique and innovative.
Because having only Sony and Microsoft as the main two leaders on the Video Game market would be a good thing?
Nintendo may have some antiquated ways of thinking but they also made some of the most creative and defining games in video game history.
Sony and Microsoft do pretty AAAs but they look the same for a decade mechanically speaking.
We'll only get third person over the shoulder camera video games with an emphasis on narration (unless you go for indies).
Zelda BotW was one of the most changing game of the 2010's.
Nintendo 64 was released 28 years ago, actually 🤓☝️
I will always love Nintendo for their games, but I'll also always hate them for their decisions to do stuff like this.
aaaand its gone^^
Honestly my theroy is that the tf2 source 2 port runs on some of the leaked tf2 code/assets?? But hey, thats just a theroy. So take it with a grain of salt.
Well it's too bad but I doubt the full game would have fit the entire rom size.
Is this music some kind of remix of Bigfoot from Red Alert 1? Sounds great!

We have the source code of the port, so someone could complete it
Man, Nintendo or Valve should have offered to hire him instead of killing his project.😢
So, the open source alternative library would also be a problem? So the library isn't the problem, then, right?
I think the problem with the open source library is that it still has some missing functionality, besides all the porting trouble, not really a legal issu
Immediate close and dislike. You say it HAD to be stopped for legitimate legal reasons? be honest Valve could fight the good fight if they want too, instead they supress creativity unless they can make money like selling Black Mesa
imagine travelling back to 1999 and selling this

Now for PS2 ❤
Portal 64 is gone thanks to Valve’s DMCA Claim, but this Demake is a masterpiece.
Valve never DMCA-ed Portal 64, they reached out to the dev with concern that they and themselves would be pursued legally by Nintendo if the dev continued development.
@@RememberCitadeltrue
@@RememberCitadelof course Nintendo would do that because her bunch of limp dick buzz kills, there's a reason why I half life It's still going strong today in Nintendo has to constantly push out so many games that people stop talking about eventually.
@@RememberCitadelyeah what you said. It wasn’t specifically that they were making a fan game of a valve IP (there are plenty of those, including a half life top-down arcade shooter made in Unity) but because he was using proprietary Nintendo code libraries (which the dev chose to use over nonproprietary open source libraries as it didn’t at the time have the ability to do the things he needed,) and Valve didn’t want the risk of another megacorp (known for very liberally suing the shit out of people) suing them over the use of unauthorized code in a project utilizing their IP. It IS disappointing that the project is likely kill, and the world of copyright and Nintendo’s itchy legal trigger finger is shit, but the decision is understandable. The TFSource2 project (which WAS DMCA’d by Valve) being taken down was not because of it being about TF2 but because it used assets (3D models and animations) ripped from their games and imported into a different one without permission. Disappointing but understandable, IMHO. Wish DMCA and the broken copyright system didn’t exist but Valve does have a leg to stand on here.
I'm not a fan of Portal but this is very amazing port. I mean, forcing game like this to work on 30 years old console is something incredible. Suck that Valve and Nintendo has different opinion on it. It almost feels like they hate their fans or simple gamers, and only love them if they pay them money.
Nintendo totally, but tf you mean Valve??
Sounds like a multimillion dollar lawsuit would be bad for everyone, not that valve hates their fans lol
@@reptiliannoizezz.413 They shut down another fan project about Team Fortress 2 that fans were recreating as improved version of the game on Source 2. Now, I'm not a fan of Team Fortress, but it makes me sad that Valve follows that same path as Nintendo slowly.
@@11facehugger And that right there proves my point. Cause, if Valve starts a lawsuit against a group of fans then what does that tells us?
@@deathcold_longplaysua4846 Dude, I know about TF2:S2. It was shut down cuz the devs weren't licensed to use TF2's assets to begin with
I know Valve Stopped the project since it was made on a Nintendo Engine. But, Didn't they had Portal on a Official Nintendo Console before this Project was being made? But I know he shouldn't Start making the game since Nintendo will get mad but, He did the right Idea.
Valve is not holy either. They literally just killed the great TF2 source 2 port.
for literally making an unauthorized copy of their game, using their assets in s&box which does not have the license to use source assets unlike gmod
that project entirely had it coming
also s&box changes were gonna break and kill the project anyhow if valve didn't do anything
@@randomcatdude There are so many mods that use Valve assets. Even with some being sold for money. Its a bad excuse
@@JohnLasseter-ct5in Mods require having Valve games for em to work. And the ones sold on steam for money have a license from Valve to do so. Here it was porting assets and remaking a Valve IP as a mod for a non valve game with no derivation whatsoever, and no license to do so. It *is* different.
wow, this video is *really* underrated...
I'm honestly tired of Valve dick-riding Nintendo so hard when it comes to these projects
what is up with them???
1. Valve was concerned about getting sued and concerned about James getting sued by Nintendo for continuing this particular project due to it using proprietary Nintendo SDK code
2. TF2 S2 was DMCA-ed due to it using TF2 assets to make a full remake of TF2 in a engine other than Source. If you want a community ran TF2 experience, lemme recommend Team Fortress 2 Classic and Open Fortress
Portal is on the Switch, they'd rather stay in good terms with the console ports.
The Japanese legal system is also insane. Remember Gary Browser?
@@dudemydude4969 For selling illegal stuff? I mean he also gained money from it. It was the american gov that punished him.
@@ikagura first of all the US government would never do anything like this on their own. Second of all I know nothing of the Japanese legal system I was mostly joking. Third of all the only thing he did was post news and updates on the new releases. But even if he was some big mean hacker his punishment would still be out of whack. He has to pay Nintendo 25-30% of his income for the rest of his life. That's insane.
So what? It’s just a port of portal to a console that has bad graphics, bad performance, and also just a dead console that is hard to find these days. Emulator or not it still looks ugly and has bad lighting, glad that this was cancelled because the developers don’t have to keep working on this game
I think you don't understand the intent of a demake and the N64 still has pretty games.
@@ikagura Id rather have source 2 portal than some zero lighting remake of portal, even Roblox has a portal remake better than P64
@@intdisaster This is just a different goal.
Roblox is also a much more advanced engine than what you could do on a N64.
Cave Story got a Genesis port, Portal even had a short Atari demake and honestly it's still fun to see demakes made of games to see how a dev could manage.
We got official demakes like handheld ports of home console games as well and they worked.
