Pizza Ninjas announces that it has registered a Nintendo 64 emulator on Bitcoin using the Ordinals protocol.
Playing Nintendo 64 on Bitcoin is now possible!
I’m happy to share that Pizza Ninjas just registered a Nintendo 64 emulator on Bitcoin! 🟠🎮
We didn’t think this would be practical initially, but thanks to the new Brotli Compression on Ordinals
Inscribing a larger system like N64 and its games is more realistically feasible… pic.twitter.com/XcEAAqR04A

Ninjalerthis repeated feat by registering this time an emulator of the legendary Nintendo 64 on the Bitcoin blockchain. In fact, Ninjalerts had, last January, registered the Super Nintendo SNESconsole preceding the Nintendo 64 from a historical point of view.
It is the CEO of Ninjalerts who announces that Pizza Ninjas achieved this feat using the new Brotli compression on the Ordinals protocol. According to the latter, it would allow compression and therefore a reduction in file size about 80%.
“I’m happy to share that Pizza Ninjas just listed a Nintendo 64 emulator on Bitcoin! We didn’t think it would be practical at first, but thanks to the new Brotli compression on the Ordinals, putting on a larger system like the N64 and its games is more realistic than before.” he declares on X.
Furthermore, he adds that they are in the process of develop the interface and multiplayer function. Indeed, this time they would have chosen to deploy the Nintendo 64, because it allows 4 players to play together simultaneously.
“We also entered the N64 because it is the first and only non-DRM 4-player multiplayer console! This means we can build a way to use WebRTC to allow four people on the same WiFi network to play online multiplayer in a way that will work forever,” he adds.
What impact on the Bitcoin network with this registration?
Insane file size savings using –compress on ord. It uses Brotli.

First of all, Brotli is an algorithm developed by Google. Besides its effective compression capacity, it is also editable and completely open-source.
TrevorCEO of Ninjalerts, then takes the example of the historical game from the 007 universe, Goldeneye 64. Thanks to Brotli, the registration of the game on Ordinals is only 3.15 Mb instead of 12.4.
To the extent that each Mb matters on the decentralized network, this feat therefore allows this type of exploit. However, the registration of 15 sats/vbytit would cost $6,000 And 100 sats $40,000.
“While much more expensive as network fees increase, Brotli is still somewhat within the range to be feasible if there is enough demand. We wanted to take advantage of the opportunity while memmpool fees were low to get the largest portion of files registered, as we expect the fees to go crazy after the halving”.
It is therefore up to the community to make this dream possible. Moreover, the arrival of the halving could increase fees again and make this much more complicated in the future.
