Homebrew Question Mario 64 port?

[tom2199]

I don't know what JITS is or have Tinfoil. I just use SXOS

Isn't Tinfoil baked into SXOS? Either way, it is the most help I can give you, any links etc. would be against the rules.

is there any way to know if you have v3? it still says version 1.00

Would depend where you got it from. If HBG, it should say in the Content Listing Prior to Installation.

If you get the profile selection screen from the switch before you start the game (i'm not talking about the 4 sm64 save slots) its's V3 because saves are moved to the nand like any other game now instead of the sd card.

Got the v3, sadly there is still no way to turn off inverted camera controls

EDIT: help for DIY folks
1) follow the directions in the wiki to ensure you can build the pc port
2) have a working devkitpro installation with devkitA64 (sudo (dkp-)pacman -S switch-dev, will include it)
3) install: devkitpro-pkgbuild-helpers with (dkp)pacman
4)git checkout switch
5) source $DEVKITPRO/switchvars.sh
6) make TARGET_SWITCH=1 BETTERCAMERA=1
7) you'll find the .nro in the build folder.

No it isn't.

I wish that V3 Didnt have the glitch showing the black bar down the left hand side of the star select screen.


But other than that i love it ....
V1 did not have the bar but i assume it is something to do with the widescreen hack.
V2 also showed the black bar.

There is a fix for this on GitHub in fgsfdsfgs's repository: https://github.com/fgsfdsfgs/sm64pc/commit/d2cff2838f79f82fb2f50bb7e9e234b5437cc053
Just rebuild with the latest changes and the black bar should be gone!

Did you rebuild it?

No it isn't.

Any chance you could write a more complete step by step guide for us noobs? I tried installing Devkitpro and I should have devkitA64. Now I asome that I do the rest from within MSYS?

I think I got step 3) right by doing "pacman -S devkitpro-pkgbuild-helpers" in MSYS.
Not sure what 4)git checkout switch means

 

[gladiac1337]

Did you rebuild it?

Yes, i even applied O3 (makes the compiler optimize the code) and the black border is gone and the game works fine.
I cannot share the binary, however, here is the description on how to build it yourself: https://github.com/fgsfdsfgs/sm64pc/wiki/Compiling-for-Nintendo-Switch

I've figured out how to compile it for switch but am too tired to write a guide for switch right now. Can possible do one tomorrow. Also does anyone know how to add a custom icon? the APP_ICON in the make file does sweet FA

Thats good to know .....
Hopefully a fixed version appears on one of the usual places.
I dont think ive got the skills or time to rebuild it myself.
I'll keep checking daily lol

Not sure what 4)git checkout switch means

First, if you used the windows devkitpro installer for msys2, you're going to have problems. Namely, problems getting msys2 setup correctly with mingw64. That's why I said to follow the wiki and build it for PC FIRST. THEN you can switch to the "switch" branch and continue.

Second, building things assumes you understand how git works (and have git installed). When you clone the repository with git, you're looking at the master branch. To build it with the changes for Switch, you need to switch to the switch branch. That's what "git checkout switch" does.

Third, almost any project has a file called readme.md. You really should read it. It often gives hints on how to build, or a link to a guide. It's also what you see when you scroll down on a project's main github page. Problem is, in this case, the link you're looking for is only visible when you're actually looking at the switch branch, and not "master".

Personally, I recommend (AFTER you've successfully built the PC version) that you uncomment "MSYS2_PATH_TYPE=inherit" in mingw64.ini, and add to the very top of your Windows path, in order:
path to mingw64/bin
path to mingw32/bin

Following @urherenow 's post, you can try building for switch following the two steps below, you'll have to make sure you're able to build the PC version correctly first.
Note: This is for Windows 10 X64

Step 1 - Setup devkitpro's switch tools through Msys2:

1 - Set the following environment variable

 DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro

2 - Start Msys2 and import the needed keys

pacman-key --recv F7FD5492264BB9D0
pacman-key --lsign F7FD5492264BB9D0

3- Install keyring

pacman -U https://downloads.devkitpro.org/devkitpro-keyring-r1.787e015-2-any.pkg.tar.xz

4- Edit your Msys2 pacman.conf file found in [your-Msys2-dir]/etc/pacman.conf and add these lines

[dkp-libs]
Server = https://downloads.devkitpro.org/packages

[dkp-windows]
Server = https://downloads.devkitpro.org/packages/windows

5- Update Msys2 database

pacman -Syu

6- Install devkitpro switch tools

pacman -S switch-dev devkitpro-pkgbuild-helpers libnx switch-tools switch-mesa switch-libdrm_nouveau switch-sdl2

Step 2 - Building the source:

Navigate to your switch source dir in Msys2 and run

source $DEVKITPRO/switchvars.sh

For new (experimental) camera controls:

make -j4 TARGET_SWITCH=1 BETTERCAMERA=1

OR

For traditional camera controls :

make -j4 TARGET_SWITCH=1

When your source is updated, you'll have to rebuild and reinstall libaudiofile, and only follow Step 2.

Good luck.

Nah, I didn't have to do that (yet). If you mess with the source yourself, you just have to

git stash
git checkout master
git pull
git checkout switch
make clean
make TARGET_SWITCH=1 BETTERCAMERA=1

you can turn that into a script as well...

Really appreciate help love you guys thx so much

I've successfully built it for windows 10 but when trying to build (make) for switch gcc errored out (idr the error from the first time). Then I installed the i686 version of gcc and now I get "gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mtp=soft'"

Still pretty new to this build from source stuff. Do i need to uninstall gcc and try installing it again? Maybe I have the wrong version of gcc?

Also, what is the "switch source directory"? I only have the sm64pc-master source directory.

you have to build it in msys MinGW64 (or 32bit if you have a 32bit pc)

 

[Deleted User]

Yeah same what is meant by switch source directory? I managed to build the pc port fine but when I follow the instructions I am stuck on what you are calling the switch source directory. Also the command git checkout switch does not work for me. My build fails for the following:

C:\msys64\sm64pc\tools\audiofile-0.3.6\libaudiofile/WAVE.h:44: undefined reference to `operator delete(void*, unsigned long long)'

any ideas?

I didn't change my path I think you mean in Windows the paths? I also did not change any ini data like you said here:

"Personally, I recommend (AFTER you've successfully built the PC version) that you uncomment "MSYS2_PATH_TYPE=inherit" in mingw64.ini, and add to the very top of your Windows path, in order:
path to mingw64/bin
path to mingw32/bin"

Is this my problem the pathing?

recorded my findings so far but that's where i am stuck
