Super Mario 64: Super Mario Star Road - Multiplayer Edition is a fan-made modification of the original Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64. Developed by Skelux, this version enables online multiplayer gameplay through netplay, allowing players to collaborate or compete in navigating the game's expansive levels. Players can set up sessions using specific emulators while following detailed setup instructions.
Here is a multiplayer version of Skelux's Super Mario Star Road. Now you can play with friends online through netplay. Please consult the readme for the extensive details on how this works. Enjoy!
---Star Road Multiplayer 1.0, created by Skelux---
If you downloaded the PPF, you must first follow these instructions:
1. Obtain a Super Mario 64 rom
2. Extend it with 'M64 ROM Extender 1.3b' in the 'Patching Tools' folder
3. Drag the rom over 'rom_expand.exe' in the 'Patching Tools' folder
4. Patch "SMSR Multiplayer 1.0.ppf" to it using "PPF-O-MATIC 3.0" in the 'Patching Tools' folder
I recommend playing with the emulator provided, as later versions of Project 64 will crash randomly.
You will first need to go into "Options" then "Settings" then change the rom directory to where
the SMSR Multiplayer rom is located. To play online, open Project64k.exe and go into "File" then
"Start Netplay...". Join any server and right-click below the chat window to host a game that
your friend can join.
After opening the NetPlay window, set your connection speed to 'Good', as higher settings will cause lag.
For a more reliable game, go into "Options" then "Configure Audio Plugin" and tick "Sync game to Audio".
To set up the controls, go into "Options" then "Configure Controller Plugin..." and go to the "Player 2" tab.
While playing the game, you can hold 'R' to lock the camera onto your player. Also, since PJ64k does
not save while playing online, you can press 'Z' at the file select screen to unlock all levels.
Player 3 & 4 are now able to interact with the objects Player 1 & 2 were last standing on respectively.
They can do this be pressing the D-Pad buttons.
