• This repo contains a full decompilation of Super Mario 64 (J), (U), (E), and (SH), ported to the Nintendo DSi.
• Naming and documentation of the source code and data structures are in progress.

This repo does not include all assets necessary for compiling the ROMs. A prior copy of the game is required to extract the assets.

• Download the latest source from here, extract it somewhere
• Install Docker Desktop from the Docker website, and reboot when the installer prompts you
• Place a Super Mario 64 ROM as baserom.us.z64 in the directory you extracted the zip to
• Run build_docker.bat
• Once the build is complete, the game will be in build/us_nds/.

• First follow the guide for installing devkitPro packages, also installing the nds-dev group as mentioned
• Install the needed tools
  • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install -y build-essential git python
  • Fedora: sudo dnf install gcc make git python
  • Arch/derivatives like Manjaro: sudo pacman -S base-devel git python
• Clone this repository and change to its directory

  git clone https://github.com/Hydr8gon/sm64.git
  cd sm64
  

• Place a copy of the USA version of Super Mario 64 in this directory, named baserom.us.z64, it should be in the same directory as Makefile.
• Run make -j$(nproc) to build the game
• If the build succeeded, the game will be in build/us_nds, named sm64.us.nds

After installing and starting Docker, create the docker image. This only needs to be done once.

docker build -t sm64dsi .

To build, mount the local filesystem into the Docker container and build the ROM with docker run sm64 make.

docker run --rm --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",destination=/sm64 sm64dsi make VERSION=us -j4

For a Linux host, Docker needs to be instructed which user should own the output files:

docker run --rm --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",destination=/sm64 --user $UID:$GID sm64dsi make VERSION=us -j4

Resulting artifacts can be found in the build directory.
