Does he really think the Nintendo programmers were 'smelling the grass' rather working 24/7 to get a ground-breaking game shipped. He does his best to call the team who made several of the most influential and important video games of all time incompetent.
I just rewatched this video and didn't get any of that, like at all. A little banter to be entertaining but I think you're reading into that wrong.
>- I don't see a 6x speedup. I see ~10% gains in most systems and a best case frame time improvement from 29 fps to 41 fps. Which is pointless. An NTSC tv runs at 60Hz, you either hit 60fps or 30fps, anything in-between results in horrible tearing of the screen or your frames bounce between 60 and 30 and movement feels horrific. The game was optimized to hit targets and to ship.
The idea is to get more overhead for his mods.
