As I said previously: "I would love to support the other Pi boards with this, but the sheer amount of changes that need to be made feel far outside the scope of a script like this, so Pi 4 only it is."

DolphinCube

is there any way you can take this. And use it to compile a 3ds version? Idk the raspberry pi is the only linux computer I have https://github.com/mkst/sm64-port

@zerojay
Thanks man. I really wanted to try making a scriptmodule for it, but I've been away and I have zero knowledge there. Anyway thanks. I put that up in the instructions.

@luddo183 does this work for rpi 3b? (not 3b+) also could it work on the 0 w?

A Former User

@tyberkid
No. Sorry about getting back late, but only the 3B+ and 4 can run it.

A Former User

@tyberkid
But maybe the 3B can run it, I'm not sure

Has anyone been able to get this running on pi4 with the new render96 v2.1 textures ?

@zerojay i would love if you added external data support this runs well on my pi4 2gb with piboy dmg case requires xboxdrv and a script involving the controls

Speedsnipe

Could someone please elaborate on how you get the controls working on the PiBoy DMG, this guy on YouTube seems to have it working but doesn't mention it, he just linked this page in his description.

DolphinCube

anyone figured out how to add this mod into SM64ex? It adds sonic the hedgehog into it. I have no idea why it isnt working (not creating an executable for some reason)

Maybe you made a mistake somewhere? Go check your steps and see if you did anything wrong.

DolphinCube

@luddo183 well it does have a patch file and it says to put it in the "Patches" folder. I created one but It didnt do anything at all

A Former User

@theautisticgamer
Hmmm.... how are you building it?

DolphinCube

@luddo183 here is what I did
Step 1: Get the essental files for configuring
Step 2: Get SM64ex
Step 3: Build it then delete everything in the build folder
Step 4: Drag and drop everything to the SM64EX root folder
Step 5: Build it again and everything starts to show up EXECPT for the executable

Please help me!

Oh! And here are the folders It comes with:
-levels
-sound
-textures
and a patch file also. I think something is in the wrong place

2 things:
Did you run

rm -rf build

and did you run it with external data 1?

Hey there,

maybe you have a Tipp for me.

I am playing arround with my PI 4.
I installed Retropie 4.7. and updated to 4.7.9 yesterday.

I have installed Mario64 in default Emulator.
Running good.

The I have installed the SM64PC Version.
Also is running good.

Then I haved installed die SM64EX Version with sm64redrawn-master
I have tried in different ways.
Also with - git checkout 685efc81c

Mario is starting, but it is unplayable slow. Audio is also lagging.

Have you any tipps for me? Have I forgottend something. I have read some post, that I have to enable opengl options???

I have done:

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

Copy Mario Rom + redawn package to
<pre>sm64ex
┗ build
┗ us_pc
┗ res
┗ gfx
┣ actors
┣ levels
┗ textures</pre>

rm -rf build

And startet the Game with
#!/bin/bash
/home/pi/sm64ex/build/<ROM=REGION>_pc/sm64.us.f3dex2e.arm %U

Do you know why is the game so slow and the normal PC Version running good?

Thanks you!

It might be OpenGL but otherwise I see no problems.

Actually @Krakatoa showed these instructions for sm64 redrawn:
Build sm64ex with the sm64redrawn texture pack - Assumes you are building us versions

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 sm64ex

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. Note change the code to your rom name in your roms directory.

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

Step 4: Build

cd sm64ex
make VERSION=us TARGET_RPI=1 -j4

Step 5: rm -rf build

Step 6: Create a build folder and a gfx and res folder under the sm64ex folder
build\us_pc\res\gfx
<pre>sm64ex
┗ build
┗ us_pc
┗ res
┗ gfx
┣ actors
┣ levels
┗ textures</pre>

<b>(Master Clone)</b>
If you git clone the master you can just copy the gfx folder into your res directory and that's it.

Step 7: download the zip package sm64redrawn sm64redrawn and unzip

step 8: copy the contents of the gfx folder and alt folder from the extracted sm64redrawn zip into the res folder created in step 6 (alt folder contains icon updates etc.)

step 9: cd sm64ex

Step 10:

make VERSION=us TARGET_RPI=1 -j4 EXTERNAL_DATA=1
Step 9: Create a .sh file, name it sm64pc.sh, and put the following code in it:

#!/bin/bash
/home/pi/sm64ex/build/us_pc/sm64.us.f3dex2e.arm %U
Step 10: Move the .sh file into /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports
