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!

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

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

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

line 2: /home/pi/sm64pc/build/us_pc/sm64.us.f3dex2e.arm

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

pjft

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

It is in /home/pi/sm64ex/build/us_pc

Luddo183

@Stuart2773
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

@skj

It is in /home/pi/sm64ex/build/us_pc

i dont have that folder "build/us_pc"

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

Luddo183

@Stuart2773
Then what do you you have in the build folder

@Stuart2773

there is no folder called build :(

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

Luddo183

@Stuart2773
What did you do and where are you looking

Luddo183

@Stuart2773
Yes, you should change steps 3 and 4 to sm64ex instead of sm64pc

Stuart2773

@Luddo183

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

@Stuart2773

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

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.
