Is there any guide to getting this running on a real N64? I have an everdrive.

  Looks like you need a PC copy of Portal: https://github.com/lambertjamesd/portal64/releases https://github.com/lambertjamesd/portal64/releases (There's some older releases below as a ready-to-go .z64 rom image, though, which should be ready to run on an Everdrive)

    Is distributing it as a patch of `portal_pak_000.vpk' meant more as a form of "DRM"? Because I doubt that BPS can manage to reuse a lot of bits from a file meant for a completely different version of the game...

      My guess would be that it uses some data, probably voiceover audio, from the original game, and extracts them from there rather than putting directly copyright infringing files up on Github?

  I went ahead and built the newest version of the ROM into a .z64 (happened to have a copy of Portal on hand). Here's a magnet link for it if you just want to use it: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:5FAD6DBBF02D39AA40062D7F0F498F3F341F8DB3&tr=udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce

  Lambert has also created new homebrew works that run on original hardware with the N64 SDK. His team has always been a finalist in the yearly jams.
