Thanks! I'll tell my story... I first played Paper Mario on a PAL N64 when I was around 6 or 7 years old, and I recall not being able to get past certain sections because I could barely understand the dialogue. The cartridge had a previous owner who left a completed savefile, so after getting stuck I loaded it and eventually defeated the final boss. I remember the day vividly where I left the console on overnight displaying the "The End" screen because I thought there might be an easter egg - I'd just learned about Totaka's song in Luigi's Mansion (GCN). There is no postgame in Paper Mario, but I always dreamed of one. In my time in the modding community I've found that I prefer to create documentation and tools for others to express their creativity than create my own, which is why tools like [1] and [2] exist. The decompilation lets use

This is great! I wonder how long until we see GPT-assisted decompilation. Taking a peek at the source, it's so interesting to see the a piece of history. For example, this was released in Japan in 2000, then internationally months later. As I recall, there was awareness building around the idea that vibrating controllers (here, the N64 Rumble Pak accessory) cause RSI or carpal tunnel. Since the developers shortened the rumble length outside of Japan, it looks like they were aware as well: https://github.com/nanaian/papermario-dx/blob/main/src/rumbl... I wonder what led to this decision being made at the exclusion of the JP release.
