(GUIDE) How to add Super Mario 64 PC to Retropie(Pi4 and Pi3b)

I usually fail at pi-related installations, but managed to get this working on my first try. Major kudos for these instructions! I do have one question however...

I have splashscreens for everything in my Retropie setup. It's the splashscreens from this post:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4611/runcommand-system-splashscreens

Has anybody found a way to change this initial screen:

Into something like this:

So I recently got ahold of the Retroflag GPI case which runs a pi 0 w. Out of sheer curiosity, if I attempted to build this, will it just fail outright? Has anyone tried it yet (granted I expect a slow framerate but I'm curious how slow)

I've tried this. Followed all the instructions, but I get an error. Can anyone help me out?

so compiled the game and the second I boot it up I get a segmentation fault. It does load the settings but then it gives me that error. Is there a fix for that?

@TheAutisticGamer segment fault is sometimes because it's built on a machine that's different architecture. Are you using a pi4 or a PC/x64 machine by any chance?

yeah im using a pi 4. Is that the problem?

@TheAutisticGamer pi4 should be fine. Have you got your code you used? TARGET_RPI=1 should get you the pi4 version no problem

lemme try recompiling it. I did use that command. It could be the fact that I was trying to use a mod that could require something the pi doesnt have. But IDK

This might be a little late and i am aware that this is an old post. I tried following the guide but is seems i am stuck at step 3. it wont recognize as a directory. has anybody else encountered this. must admit i am quite new to this.

@rasbon94 you can also manually copy the .z64 file into the folder if you have an app that lets you explore via SSH /SFTP, if that's any help to you?

@retropieuser555 thanks a lot that seemed to have done the trick :)

Just a side note. I attempted this on Pi 5 with bookworm and it works perfectly fine. I haven't attempted any of the high res mods but hopefully they'll work given the higher specs
