with external resources enabled?

ah no I didn't enable that, just built it real fast to see if it would blackscreen for me as well.

I haven't actually tried external resources yet.

SGI on Wii U soon?

So does anyone have a tutorial for making a installation for homebrew so we don't need homebrew launcher for it?

You guys are already compiling the port? i'm stuck on the damn fling signing key step.

If you are on Windows and using msys2, don't bother. For some reason, devkitPro is a true pain to use in Windows. I recommend that you set up WSL if you are on Windows 10, it's actually quite easy to do and that's how I was able to complie the port. If WSL is not an option, then the next best thing is a Virtual Machine.

i dont understand how can I download the lasted .rpx to test it

Unfortunately, this is not a situation where you just download the file. You need to make that file for yourself. And even if it was that simple, sharing that .rpx would be no different than sharing a game rom. And that is against the forum rules. You'll just have to learn how to compile the .rpx file.

For Ubuntu, the code you need to use is this: "dkp-pacman -S git make python3 wiiu-sdl2" Pacman is basically just what is used to download tools, don't know why that particular name though..

thanks guy it work fine, i just need to export manually every time


export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro/
export DEVKITPPC=/opt/devkitpro/devkitPPC/

but it works... now xD i will try to understand how to use better textures, 1080p and other things

it works fine at .rpx and ubuntu native

The better texture mods is something that is still being worked for this port. But this port renders in 1080p natively, so you don't have to do anything to achieve that (apart from setting the Wii U video to 1080p)

I made a written tutorial on compiling with msys2 on the official port discord server (once you join, there is a dedicated channel for the Wii U port). It is probably as direct as it can get. Nothing too vague.

I never tried WSL before, but since people say it is easier to use, maybe you should give it a try. If that ever failed, my msys2 tutorial exists.

I don't know anything about how to compile, program and etc ... so I didn't even try, I was lucky that with the port for 3DS I managed to find the .cia already compiled in videos on youtube and even a blog for companies, until I managed to find with different resolutions and with Luigi, but I was not so lucky with the port for the Wii U, I think I'll wait until someone has the good will to do this xD

60 fps ?

I actually found it to be easier with your msys2 guide than trying to use WSL, once i saw that guide on discord everything pretty much clicked and had the port compiled right away.

60 fps ?

Yes, the 60 FPS patch works on both port versions (sm64-port and sm64ex nightly). You apply it by running the following line in the terminal:

./tools/apply_patch.sh enhancements/60fps.patch

The patch has a slightly different name in the EX port, if you just start typing the filename and press tab the shell will finish it for you.

So does anyone have a tutorial for making a installation for homebrew so we don't need homebrew launcher for it?

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):

java -jar NUSPacker.jar -in sm64dir -out "output\Super Mario 64 Wii U Port [SMWU01]" -encryptKeyWith 00000000000000000000000000000000

Where "sm64dir" is the directory with all the required files.

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)

Spoiler

bootDrcTex.tga (Gamepad splash)

Spoiler

iconTex.tga (Channel icon)

Spoiler

Hope this is useful!

is the game more responsive to controller input with 60 fps
