Super Mario 64 Plus

Super Mario 64 Plus is a fork of sm64-port that focuses on customizability and aims to add features that not only fix some of the issues found in the base game but also enhance the gameplay overall with extra options.

These features include (but not limited to):

• More responsive controls
• Improved camera
• Extended moveset
• The ability to continue the level after getting a star
• Optional extra modes
• 60FPS support via interpolation
• Various bug fixes

This repo does not include all the assets necessary for compiling the game. A prior copy of the game is required to extract the assets. Binaries of the game itself will not be distributed for this very reason.

You can also build the game manually if you prefer to do so, or if you're not on a Windows platform. To do that, follow the instructions below.

Features that might get added in the future:

• Discord Rich Presence support
• Smoother vertical camera movement
• Rumble
• Odyssey-like rolling
• Custom texture pack support
• Full OpenGL and SDL support

FAQ

Q: I can't build. I'm getting an error!

A: You can try a few things. Try reinstalling MSYS2 and deleting the SM64Plus folder first. Disabling your antivirus could help as well. If all else fails, just restart your computer. If those don't help, you can ask for help on the Discord server.

Q: I could build, but the game doesn't launch.

A: It seems like reinstalling MSYS2 and deleting the SM64Plus folder fixes the issues for most people. Disabling your antivirus could also help in some cases. If all else fails, you can try the old "restarting your computer" trick.

If you're still stuck after trying all that, you can post your error to the #help-me channel of the Discord server.

Q: The game is running too fast!

A: You can try to limit the game's FPS using Nvidia's control panel or other 3rd party tools. Make sure that you limit the "sm64.us.f3dex2e.exe"'s frame rate, and not the launcher.

Q: My controller doesn't work in the game. What do I do?

A: The game itself doesn't have support for DirectInput controllers yet. You can add it to your Steam library, which seems to make most controllers work. You can also use a tool like DS4Windows, BetterJoyForCemu, or 360ce depending on your controller.

Q: Can I use mods with this? What about Render96?

A: There's no official support for mods for other PC port forks, and there (most likely) will never be unfortunately. This includes Render96 too, there are no current plans for adding support for it here.

Q: Can I have a logo of the game?

A: Sure. Shoutouts to @Benial for doing such a good job with it.

Q: Is there Linux or Mac support?

A: Nope. It might get Linux support in the future, but not yet.

Q: Is your game safe?

A: Yeah. If your antivirus is giving you any warnings, it's most likely false. You especially shouldn't trust Chrome on this kind of stuff.

Q: Will Nintendo take this game down?

Changelog

Manual Building

Windows

1. Install and update MSYS2, following the directions listed on https://www.msys2.org/.
2. Launch MSYS2 MinGW and install required packages depending on your machine (do NOT launch "MSYS2 MSYS"):

• 64-bit: Launch "MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit" and install: pacman -S git make python3 mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 mingw-w64-x86_64-glew
• 32-bit (untested, but should also work on 64-bit machines): Launch "MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit" and install: pacman -S git make python3 mingw-w64-i686-gcc mingw-w64-i686-SDL2 mingw-w64-i686-glew
• Do not install gcc.

3. Clone the repo with git clone https://github.com/MorsGames/sm64-port.git, then enter it with cd sm64-port.
4. Place a Super Mario 64 ROM called baserom.us.z64 into the project folder for asset extraction.
5. Run make to build. You can add -j4 to improve build speed (hardware dependent based on the amount of CPU cores available).
6. The executable binary will be located at build/us_pc/sm64.us.f3dex2e.exe.

Linux (Untested!)

1. Install prerequisites (Ubuntu) with sudo apt install -y git build-essential pkg-config libusb-1.0-0-dev libsdl2-dev.
2. Clone the repo with git clone https://github.com/MorsGames/sm64-port.git.
3. Place a Super Mario 64 ROM called baserom.us.z64 into the project folder for asset extraction.
4. Run make to build. You can add -j4 to improve build speed (hardware dependent based on the amount of CPU cores available).
5. The executable binary will be located at build/us_pc/sm64.us.f3dex2e.

Additional options

• You can target OpenGL by using make ENABLE_OPENGL=1. CURRENTLY NONFUNCTIONAL DUE TO ISSUES WITH SDL! Help is needed to fix this!
