How the ULC Audio Codec Brings Near-Opus Quality Sound to the Nintendo 64

The Ultra Low Complexity Codec, created by developer Aikku93, delivers 44.1 kHz stereo audio at near-Opus bitrates on the N64's 93 MHz CPU using just 4% of processor time. Dominic Szablewski ported it to the RSP co-processor with AI-assisted assembly, and a Half-Life N64 port already ships with it. Here is what ULC does, how it works, and why it matters for retro game development, preservation, and constrained-platform programming.
