Super Mario 64 has been successfully ported to Microsoft's discontinued Zune HD media player from 2009.
The project runs natively on the device's Nvidia Tegra hardware using the unofficial OpenZDK kit, featuring touchscreen controls, full audio, and save support.
It operates by utilizing an existing PC decompilation project, though users must supply their own game ROM.

Super Mario 64 Comes to the Microsoft Zune

Aw shit yโall itโs ON
Anyone else's mobile device history take some turns outside the mainstream?
In middle/early high school, I got my first MP3 player that wasn't a glorified USB stick: a 4 GB #Zune. This little indestructible device sparked my obsession with #Microsoft software. The Zune software (both on-device and the companion software on PC) was gorgeous. Decidedly some of Microsoft's best UI/UX work.
Later in high school I upgraded to a #ZuneHD, and eventually my first cell phone was a #MicrosoftKin TWOm, which incidentally had the same SOC as the Zune HD (a first-gen Nvidia Tegra), and even ran a version of Windows Mobile that integrated the Zune UI itself as the โMusicโ functionality.
By graduation, I'd begun my journey with #WindowsPhone. From a #NokiaLumia 820, to a Lumia Icon, to my final WP, a now first-party โMicrosoft Lumiaโ 950XL. Stunning devices: high-quality cameras (at the time; the Lumia 1020 in 2013 had a 42 MP main camera, while the next highest resolution camera in a phone at the time was 21MP, a spec that wouldn't be surpassed by another phone for 5 more years), (usually) removable polycarbonate backs with removable batteries, fairly early adoption of Qi (wireless charging)โฆ I could go on and on.
When I finally, begrudgingly, moved on to an #Android device (a pitiful Essential Phone), it wasn't because I didn't like my Windows Phone. I loved it. It was because Microsoft had finally called the time of death.
It's like a time capsule from 2010. I loved this little thing back in the day.
