Rare Witch Project Cracks Goldeneye Faces

Posted by simoniker on from the mugshot-very-useful dept.

Lochlan writes "The fan site The Rare Witch Project has created a face mapper for classic N64 title Goldeneye 007, meaning it's now possible to map your own custom faces onto the characters in Goldeneye! However, you will need an N64 Action Replay or Gameshark connected to your PC through the parallel port." We've previously covered the Rare Witch Project's exploration of other Rareware games.

    Hordes of Bill Gates clones! With rifles! in all seriousness though, that is really, really awesome. *Massive* kudos to the Rare Witch Project, that is a really fantastic piece of work and must have taken some serious effort.

    6. Is this for Perfect Dark as well? While we have decoded the format and extracted the faces (it is almost identical to Goldeneye), the problem is that since Perfect Dark uses the expansion pak itself, PD can only run in no expansion pak mode with the shark to allow any tool to act on it. There should be eventually a release including no expansion Perfect Dark heads as well. Note, that PD heads are a bit more refined than Goldeneyes.

    Yes, it was Pefect Dark. The official reason Rare cited was "They couldn't make it work properly", but the reasons you said were also contributing factors.

    While it sounded like a good idea, mapping a black and white image of your face onto a colour body would look kinda funny.
