1punchchris/super_mario_64_directx12 repository overview

⁠Super Mario 64

This repo contains a full decompilation of Super Mario 64 (J), (U), and (E). The source and data have been decompiled but complete naming and documentation all of the code and data is still a work in progress. Decompiling the Shindou ROM is also an ongoing effort.

It builds the following ROMs:

• sm64.jp.z64 sha1: 8a20a5c83d6ceb0f0506cfc9fa20d8f438cafe51
• sm64.us.z64 sha1: 9bef1128717f958171a4afac3ed78ee2bb4e86ce
• sm64.eu.z64 sha1: 4ac5721683d0e0b6bbb561b58a71740845dceea9

This repo does not include all assets necessary for compiling the ROMs. A prior copy of the game is required to extract the required assets.

⁠Installation

⁠Docker

⁠1. Copy baserom(s) for asset extraction

For each version (jp/us/eu) that you want to build a ROM for, put an existing ROM at ./baserom.<version>.z64 for asset extraction.

⁠2. Create docker image

docker build -t sm64 .

⁠3. Build

To build we simply have to mount our local filesystem into the docker container and build.

# for example if you have baserom.us.z64 in the project root
docker run --rm --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",destination=/sm64 sm64 make VERSION=us -j4

# if your host system is linux you need to tell docker what user should own the output files
docker run --rm --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",destination=/sm64 --user $UID:$UID sm64 make VERSION=us -j4

Resulting artifacts can be found in the build directory.

⁠Linux

⁠1. Copy baserom(s) for asset extraction

For each version (jp/us/eu) that you want to build a ROM for, put an existing ROM at ./baserom.<version>.z64 for asset extraction.

⁠2. Install build dependencies

The build system has the following package requirements:

• binutils-mips >= 2.27
• python3 >= 3.6
• libaudiofile
• qemu-irix

Debian / Ubuntu

sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config git binutils-mips-linux-gnu python3 zlib1g-dev libaudiofile-dev

Download latest package from qemu-irix Releases⁠

sudo dpkg -i qemu-irix-2.11.0-2169-g32ab296eef_amd64.deb

(Optional) Clone https://github.com/n64decomp/qemu-irix⁠ and follow the install instructions in the README.

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S base-devel python audiofile

Install the following AUR packages:

• mips64-elf-binutils⁠ (AUR)
• qemu-irix-git⁠ (AUR)

⁠3. Build ROM

Run make to build the ROM (defaults to VERSION=us). Make sure your path to the repo is not too long or else this process will error, as the emulated IDO compiler cannot handle paths longer than 255 characters. Examples:

make VERSION=jp -j4       # build (J) version instead with 4 jobs
make VERSION=eu COMPARE=0 # non-matching EU version still WIP

⁠Windows

For Windows, install WSL and a distro of your choice following Windows Subsystem for Linux Installation Guide for Windows 10⁠ We recommend either Debian or Ubuntu 18.04 Linux distributions under WSL.

Then follow the directions in the Linux⁠ installation section above.

⁠macOS

macOS is currently unsupported as qemu-irix is unable to be built for macOS host. The recommended path is installing a Linux distribution under a VM.
