​

Super Mario 64 romhacks have reached impressive heights, thanks to talented romhackers throughout the years, keeping the N64 classic alive and playable in ways never previously imagined. The latest release of a new project--Mario Party 64--attempts yet another interesting premise: recreating the original Mario Party game boards as fully-fledged platforming stages. The creator of this romhack, MrComit, managed to take classic Mario Party levels such as Yoshi's Tropical Island or DK's Jungle Adventure, and make them into their own adventure, complete with minigames and 70 Stars to collect. Version 1.02 is available to download in the video description as a .bps patch, which can be applied to a copy of Super Mario 64.

N64 ROMhacking has become incredibly advanced since the last 2 years, honestly.
Especially those working on real hardware. A real treat.

Is gene splicing ethical?

It was decompiled, that's totally different.
They managed to reconstruct the code from the ROM itself.

What's the best emulator to play this?

 

[FancyNintendoGamer567]

@raxadian Probably the latest PJ64 or Mupen64. Though make sure to set Memory Size to 8MB as some ROM hacks do require that.

 

[IncredulousP]

That's right. Fuck you Nintendo. Modders gonna mod.

my point still stands lol, there's source code now so the rom hacking can kick up at least another 4 notches

 

[Reynardine]

Oh, what I neat idea! The Mario Party boards are charming, I'm excited to try this out!

If it works on mupen64plus-next on Switch, that is. It didn't run extended Mario 64 roms last time I tried.

 

[MajinCubyan]

Hell yeah, def gonna give that a play.

 

[nitrostemp]

anyone know if this works on realhardware or wii vc?

The amount of effort that went into that really can't be overstated, so it's always worth pointing that out.

Love those 64 graphics. I wonder if we will see a revival one day (just as 8bit became popular for Indies). Probably not but I came to appreciate it more as time went one.
