This is incredible. This was the promise of the proclamations of "the metaverse" or interchangeable crypto game items/characters, but is using none of those things. Like Ready Player One come to life without the hype.

Curious how easy the setup is for gamers who are non-engineers

Wrap it in an API, sell Mario 64 as a service.

(@Nintendo: this is a joke, you can put down the rifle)

Any demo videos? or just need to imagine it?

Looks like this has been around for a while now, are there any interesting projects using it?

So let me get this straight, is the intent of this so that if you have some game like Call of Duty, you could use this to just add Mario running around in there jumping around like it was SM64?

I'd love the Perfect Dark recompilation working under GL 2.1:

I imagine Nintendo is a bit more like malfunctioning ED-209 in the office scene than a person with a rifle.

Nintendo did put down their rifles after they fired multiple shots into the head and then the sued.

It's specifically about the mechanics/physics rather than the model, but yes.

That port is amazing, probably one of my most played games on my steam deck. What is GL 2.1?

Someone created an AR sandbox using it on the Quest 3. The player draws platforms and mario can jump around on the platforms and on your couch and stuff. That is probably the killer app of VR that everyone has waited for.

How many Portal test chambers could be solved with Mario 64 jumping alone, and no use of any portal gun?

That is amazing and it makes me smile

You're still writing a mod for whatever game, it's just that this library gives you an easy way to get the mario-jumping physics right. So unfortunately, non-programmers will probably have to wait for someone to insert mario into your game of choice, although this library will make that process a bit easier.

Metaverse without Crypto/VR/Facebook is fantastic and is bound to happen.

Metaverse is just people building cool stuff in a way that builds and compounds.

Critically - hopefully - in a way that can't be owned as a central platform.

libsm64 - Super Mario 64 as a library

The purpose of this project is to provide a clean interface to the movement and rendering code which was reversed from SM64 by the SM64 decompilation project, so that Mario can be dropped in to existing game engines or other systems with minimal effort. This project produces a shared library file containing mostly code from the decompilation project, and loads an official SM64 ROM at runtime to get Mario's texture and animation data, so any project which makes use of this library must ask the user to provide a ROM for asset extraction.

The entire external-facing API of the shared library can be found in libsm64.h. Any client project making use of the library must only include that header and load the library. There's a minimal example project under the test directory as well, demonstrating usage of the library.

Bindings and plugins

Building on Mac and Linux

Ensure python3 is installed.
Ensure the SDL2 and GLEW libraries are installed if you're building the test program (on Ubuntu: libsdl2-dev, libglew-dev).
Run make to build. If you want to link musl libc instead of glibc run LIBSM64_MUSL=1 make instead.
To run the test program you'll need a SM64 US ROM in the root of the repository with the name baserom.us.z64.

Building on Windows

Follow steps 1-4 for setting up MSYS2 MinGW 64 here, but replace the repository URL with https://github.com/libsm64/libsm64.git
Ensure the SDL2 and GLEW libraries are installed if you're building the test program.
- 64 bits: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 mingw-w64-x86_64-glew.
- 32 bits: pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-SDL2 mingw-w64-i686-glew.
Run make to build
To run the test program you'll need a SM64 US ROM in the root of the repository with the name baserom.us.z64.

Building for Emscripten (Web) (WIP)

Run emmake make CC=emcc.

If you want libsm64 standalone to call from JS (may not be that useful?), then run emcc dist/libsm64.so -o libsm64.js afterward to emit libsm64.wasm and libsm64.js.

Otherwise, dist/libsm64.so should be a compiled WebAssembly object that you can link into your own C project.

Make targets (all platforms)

make lib: (Default) Build the dist directory, containing the shared object or DLL and public-facing header.
make test: Builds the library dist directory as well as the test program.
make run: Build and run the SDL+OpenGL test program.
