AFAIK the "res" folder have to be copied to the root of the sdcard (I did something similar to sm64 on Switch after building a NSP from a NRO file). When running the rpx from the HBC where do you copy the res directory?
Shouldn't really happen. When was the last time you downloaded the source code to compile it?
Which version, specifically, were you using? Official port, ex master or ex nightly?
Root of the sdcard, but here, I named it "sm64ex-res" for clarification.
@AboodXD.... Yeah.... I'm gonna come clean and say it's a precompiled version from reddit about a month old.... Can't get my head around the compiling on windows 10 with all that other linux virtualization... Sorry 
As you obvs can't help with that.... Not sure if this info is helpful or not but when loading the rpx from hbl it exits back to hbl no problem. It's only when i boot from the channel i made it hangs on wii u menu....
Can i assume its looking to goto hbl but as it did not start from there, that's causing the freeze/wii u confusion?
Listen, it's not really a problem for me. My son and I have been playing non stop, its great and thanks for all your hard work on it man!

I think it's a known issue which I think @AboodXD fixed in newer sources which may need to be updated@AboodXD.... Yeah....

Development isn't to bad tbh games are still being released Emulators are still improving just shame there aren't any native Wii U emulators just Wii emu's that added Wii U support but it's cool to see there both alive and development is still going strong

Aw totally, that's what I get for taking the easy/lazy option!!
No major biggie tho as its quite nostalgic having to hard reboot after playing everytime!
Man 3 pages back I was a total noob... I can now compile it pand swap models and stuff. Follow Abood's tutorial on discord.
TBH I'm surprised the SM64 PC tool hasn't been optimised to compile for Wii U etc... That tool is amazing tbh it's how I compiled the PC version with no issues

Yes, but Cemu's JIT recompiler still looks to be incomplete (especially for instructions used often in homebrew), so I still test homebrew on Wii U.
Interpreter mode may give better results.
As for testing anything other than homebrew, such as custom code in games, I just use Cemu as it is reliable enough.
you can with the 100 coin star.
I read the feature was added to some other version (maybe android?).
Being able to collect most stars in one run could be a new speedrun catagory.
Will see when I have the time (and actually remember to do it).
if someone is willing to help me testing (especially on wsl), there's a python script which should download and build the version you want (for those who struggle to compile themselves)
https://gist.github.com/vetzki/a3b0107a38a19714889d0559b95b1469
usage:
ensure python3 is installed (not sure if thats the case on wsl ubuntu)
download to your home folder
chmod 755 filename (or execute with python)

I have just created some nice splash images and icons and got it installed as a channel
IMPORTANT: Do this at your own risk!!
How to create a channel to launch SM64 directly from the Wii U home screen:
***You need to be running custom firmware with signature patches for this to work!!***
1) Compile RPX according to the instructions on this thread. I can also confirm that WSL works perfectly. The attached file does NOT include the RPX!!!
2) The attached file contains the images and metadata to create the channel. You can modify the images as you want if you know what you are doing (important link!). You will also need NUSPacker
3) Place your compiled RPX in the "code" folder and rename it to "sm64.rpx"
4) Use NUSPacker to create the installation files (replace the zeros with the Wii U Common Key):Where "sm64dir" is the directory with all the required files.Code:java -jar NUSPacker.jar -in sm64dir -out "output\Super Mario 64 Wii U Port [SMWU01]" -encryptKeyWith 00000000000000000000000000000000
5) Install to USB with WUP Installer GX2 or similar (usually not a good idea to install to NAND)
6) Profit!
The startup sound is the Mario chime, I got it from here.
And for reference, these are the images used (customized by myself from images found on the Internet):
bootTvTex.tga (TV splash)
bootDrcTex.tga (Gamepad splash)
iconTex.tga (Channel icon)
Hope this is useful!
Perfect, worked like a charm! Also would it be possible to have both a vanilla build and ex build both on the home menu? I assume I would have to change the .xml file in the included folder to a different ID? So it doesn't overwrite the previous one.
Cheers,
Dan
