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

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

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

i dont have that folder "build/us_pc"
would i need to change steps 3 & 4 to sm64ex instead of sm64pc ?

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

@Stuart2773
Then what do you you have in the build folderthere is no folder called build :(
im totally confused by the setup steps to install the packs,
-
@Stuart2773
What did you do and where are you looking -
@Stuart2773
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 -
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.

the rom im using is Super Mario 64 (U) [!].z64
(which i renamed to Mario.z64) -
One note: it seems that the nightly build is the one that is messed up in terms of speed.
The original one (the one you don't use mods in) runs fine at the right speed!

After step 4, delete the build folder:
rm -rf buildCopy the content of the patch to the folder.
Then run
make VERSION=ROM_REGION TARGET_RPI=1 -j4 EXTERNAL_DATA=1where ROM_REGION is the region of your ROM, as in the first time you compiled it.
thats where im getting stuck with the content of the patch folder ???
the texture pack i download is called version1.1hotfix

@Stuart2773 I'm sorry. Different patches may have different instructions - I don't know.
I shared the instructions for the patch corresponding to one of the videos you shared, copied from the discord channel linked in that video - just because that was the one I also used.
What are the instructions where you download that patch from? Do they have a discord or forum? That might shed some light for that specific pack.
The content of the patch, in my case, is the content of the uncompressed zip file. I also ran into one which was a .pak file, but I had no idea what to do with it and, honestly, didn't bother much to follow up on it.
Hope these help somewhat.
-
A final note before logging off: if you want to use a patch that requires the nightly build, after checking out the code enter the folder and run
git checkout 685efc81cwhich is the last good commit before the frame rate issues.
Hope it helps.

This post is deleted! -
Which texture pack do people recommend? I imagine I will manage to make a pig's ear of installing whichever one I go for, might as well make sure it is a recommended one.
I managed to get this working unmodded without consulting the forum with issues, which is a first for me.... I am sure I won't be so lucky with the mod.

What patch file did you use? What was the name of it? Ive seen a few on discord but unsure wich one to get.
