This page may require cleanup to meet basic quality standards. The specific problem is: Available options, config location, and features vary between ports, but this page inappropriately lumps them all together as one.. You can help by modifying
the article. The discussion page may contain useful suggestions.

Key points
- Unofficial port of the Nintendo 64 game with native support for widescreen & 4K.
Availability
- Precompiled versions are not easily available due to DMCA takedowns by Nintendo. To play it legally, the game must be compiled using a legitimate ROM and the decompiled source code; see Super Mario 64 PC Port Central for instructions and tools to compile it.
- Compilation requires the ROM be encoded in big endian (
.z64
) format. To convert a ROM using little endian (.n64
) or byte-swapped (.v64
) encoding to big endian, use Tool64 or ucon64.
Essential Improvements
sm64ex
- sm64ex is a fork of the original SM64-port, that allows for many improvements over original port, although can still be made completely vanilla.
- Includes an in-game options menu that includes controller configuration and an optional cheats menu.
- Allows for many improvements, such as: 60FPS support, better camera, no drawing distance, texture fixes and support for external resources such as texture and sound changes, that can be applied before build.
- Can support older machines and OS with SDL 1.2 or OpenGL 1.1 build options.
- Has the biggest mod support over other forks.
Super Mario 64 Plus
- Super Mario 64 Plus is a fork of the SM64-port, that focuses on customizability and aims to add features that not only fix some of the issues found in the base game but also enhance the gameplay overall with extra options, which are all optional and can be turned off to maintain vanilla feeling.
- Has it's own launcher, that allows to change options and turn on/off features without rebuilding whole game, like other forks do.
- Adds more responsive controls, extended moveset, ability to continue the level after getting a star, 60FPS support via interpolation and improves camera controls.
- Introduces optional extra modes.
- Fixes various bugs.
Patches
- These can be installed with the programs from the Super Mario 64 PC Port Central website.
- 60 FPS - Patch for sm64ex which interpolates the game logic from 30 FPS to 60 FPS.
- 3D Coins V2 - Makes coins 3D.
