Magmavision2000 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I've played it, and it's awesome. It's not laggy, the controls make sense, and it's in widescreen. I don't know how or why some hackers ported it over, but I'm assuming it has something to do with the source code leak. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/309639-mario-64-has-been-ported-to-the-3ds/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonGrafx-16 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 You can get the better control with Super Mario 64 DS just by playing it in the 3DS... but whenever I have the urge to play Super Mario 64 I just play the original.

Punisher5.0 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Is it available in CIA format? I was just reading up on this and it looks like the game now supports the newly found 800 pixel mode.

The one I used was a .3DSX file, but I'm sure there is probably a .cia file.

Punisher5.0 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I just tried it out and it looks and plays great. Thanks for saying something. Its good to see the 3DS homebrew scene is still thriving.

Gamemoose Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Wow! Thanks for sharing that! I used to have Super Mario 64 DS but it's not the same game as its namesake, so it never scratched the SMB64 itch.

Magmavision2000 Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 I just beat it (using MiPs clip, and BLJs), and I encountered a little bug. The credits don't show up fully on-screen (they're in the lower right-hand corner) the names are unreadable, other than that, it's a great little port.

About the same time of the leak the PC conversion was released in a compiled state and it's fantastic. I don't have a hacked 3DS/2DS at all, but I would be curious to see if that Citra emulator for the handheld can run it, but that would take finding the compiled build and any other files potentially needed for a wow moment.

If you have a N3DS or N2DS then you totally should hack it. It makes the handheld pretty incredible. The older models have a tough time nowadays though. Everything is geared towards that much more powerful CPU in the "new" systems.

Sold it a couple months back as it was rotting mostly for the better part of 2 years or so since it turned into a hehash release system with a lot of garbage. Oddly a week back I did get an original 2DS locally in a weird well priced pick up locally so it won't cut it well. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/309639-mario-64-has-been-ported-to-the-3ds/#findComment-4598974 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Wow, I just caught this, four years later. I was going to say, no real surprise, as super Mario 64 is on DS legit anyways, and surprisingly playable. Does the 3ds version work in 3d? That would be cool, but I see more desire in being able to use the 3DS circle stick nub thing (closer to how 64 works) Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/309639-mario-64-has-been-ported-to-the-3ds/#findComment-5508916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Wait...what...wtf Mario 64 GBA?! Shame it will never be made public, kind of wish he just wouldn't show stuff like this or anyone in general. It feels like a mean tease. It's not like you can't make the engine and just use something more generic instead of letting fans of a popular franchise twist in the wind like that.

Jess Ragan Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Also, there's none of that silliness where Yoshi is the main character. What the heck was up with that, anyway? Does PSOne run well on a 3DS, by the way? I won't bother with emulation if it doesn't. The Vita's a better place to play those games anyway.

M-S Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 This SM64 port to GBA is amazing, the developer could replace Nintendo's assets with his own to release it to the public, the game's patents have all expired by now, I always remind of Freedoom, which is a game that is identical to Doom, the physics and the amount of levels, except for assets, so it's freely distributed. 6 hours ago, Jess Ragan said: Also, there's none of that silliness where Yoshi is the main character.

The 3DS can't run PS1 emulators as far as I know.
