      You are right, you need to rebuild it for the textures to come in.

          I think if you find the config file, there is a option for speed and vsync.

            @Luddo183 The config file is at ~/.local/share/sm64ex/sm64config.txt for the nightly build, I believe. There's an option for vsync that's the same as the one accessible through the menu, but regardless of whether it's ON or OFF it's still quite fast.

            I reported a bug on their repo.

            Thanks!

                Apparently it can also be scraped with TheGamesDB, although the boxart is for the original SM64

                  I edited the first post to show your solution for modding.

                  Hi guys

                  sorry to be a nuisance, i tried installing the game with the texture pack, but when i launch the game i get the following error:-

                  /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/sm64pc.sh: line 2: /home/pi/sm64pc/build/us_pc/sm64.us.f3dex2e.arm: No such file or directory

                  heres the steps i used:-

                  Step 1: Run this command

                  sudo apt install build-essential git python3 libaudiofile-dev libglew-dev libglfw3-dev libusb-1.0.0 libsdl2-dev

                  Step 2: Git clone into the files

                  git clone --single-branch --branch nightly https://github.com/sm64pc/sm64ex.git

                  Step 3: Take your .z64 file of Super Mario 64 and put it in the files

                  cp RetroPie/roms/n64/Mario.z64 sm64pc/baserom.us.z64

                  Step 4: Build

                  cd sm64pc

                  make VERSION=us TARGET_RPI=1 -j4 EXTERNAL_DATA=1

                  rm -rf build

                  Step 5: Create .sh file

                  Create a .sh file, name it sm64pc.sh, and put the following code in it:

                  #!/bin/bash
                  /home/pi/sm64pc/build/us_pc/sm64.us.f3dex2e.arm %U

                  Step 6:

                  Move the .sh file into /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports

                  any ideas where ive messed up?

                  many thanks

                    Does the file "sm64.us.f3dex2e.arm" exist in the path? also is the path correct?

                    /home/pi/sm64pc/build/us_pc/sm64.us.f3dex2e.arm

                      It's probably /home/pi/sm64ex/build/us_pc/sm64.us.f3dex2e.arm for the nightly build.

                            Create a .sh file with this inside:

                            #!/bin/bash
                            /home/pi/sm64ex/build/us_pc/sm64.us.f3dex2e.arm %U
                            

                            Put it in /home/pi/RetroPie/ports

                                i dont have that folder "build/us_pc"

                                would i need to change steps 3 & 4 to sm64ex instead of sm64pc ?

                                    there is no folder called build :(

                                    im totally confused by the setup steps to install the packs,

                                        Yes, you should change steps 3 and 4 to sm64ex instead of sm64pc

                                          is this the correct steps with the correct folder names:-

                                          sudo apt install build-essential git python3 libaudiofile-dev libglew-dev libglfw3-dev libusb-1.0.0 libsdl2-dev

                                          git clone --single-branch --branch nightly https://github.com/sm64pc/sm64ex.git

                                          or

                                          git clone --single-branch --branch nightly https://github.com/sm64ex/sm64ex.git

                                          cp RetroPie/roms/n64/Mario.z64 sm64ex/baserom.us.z64

                                          cd sm64ex

                                          make VERSION=us TARGET_RPI=1 -j4 EXTERNAL_DATA=1

                                          rm -rf build

                                          #!/bin/bash
                                          /home/pi/sm64ex/build/us_pc/sm64.us.f3dex2e.arm %U

                                            Whether step 2 and 4 are correct or not (because of the "us" part) only depends on your version of the ROM, but you'll get an error if that's not right.
