Overview
Third Person Camera80 SimulantsSpectator CameraCombat Roll
Dab’s Mod is a fork of the Perfect Dark PC port, which is built from the finished Perfect Dark decompilation. It keeps everything the port does and adds movement the N64 game never had.
It adds jumping, a combat roll, melee combos and a third-person camera. It raises the Combat Simulator’s simulant limit from 8 to 80, leaves bodies where they fell, and adds a free-flying spectator camera, a screenshot key and a video recorder. All of it is set up under Options, Extended Options, Dab’s Mod Options.
The download contains no game data. It needs Perfect Dark (USA) (Rev 1) dumped from your own cartridge. If you need the PAL or Japanese version, use the original Perfect Dark port instead.
