Super Mario 64... on the PlayStation?! - The Retro Hour EP508

This week we’re deep into the world of retro computing and preservation as the entire Zork trilogy is finally released as open source, giving fans and historians unprecedented access to one of the foundations of interactive fiction. We also explore the technical wizardry behind the latest Mario 64 decompilation project, and how its rebuilt codebase is enabling ports and experiments once thought impossible. Plus, we look at an impressive modern USB-powered paper tape reader that revives one of the oldest data formats in computing history.
