sm64-nostr Turns Mario 64 Stars into QR-Coded Nostr Events
A Super Mario 64 decompilation fork that signs each collected star on the console and displays the result as a one-time scannable QR code.
Field notes
The documented pipeline separates game-state capture from event construction: a plain-data StarCapture record feeds serialization, hashing, Schnorr signing, payload packing, and QR rendering. The page specifies a 75-byte wire format, custom event kind 8064, and a host-side end-to-end test that decodes and verifies the result without running the ROM. The signing key is injected at build time and kept outside the source tree, while the QR reader and leaderboard remain separate components.
