There is also a stagetable.txt in the repository root which includes multiplayer stages.

Installation Requirements

  • make
  • mips build tools (Debian/Ubuntu: binutils-mips-linux-gnu, Arch: mips64-elf-binutils from AUR)
  • Python 3
  • pigz - a zlib compression tool

Extracting the base ROM

Before you do anything you need an existing ROM to extract assets from.

  1. Save your existing ROM file into the root of the repository with the name pd.ntsc-final.z64. It should not be byteswapped (the first four bytes should be 0x80371240).
  2. Run make extract. This will create an extracted/ntsc-final directory containing assets from your ROM.

Compiling

The project can do the following:

  • Build individual ucode binaries (boot, library, setup, inflate and game) which match the ones extracted from the base ROM.

  • Build a functioning ROM by splicing the C source and assets into an existing ROM. The built ROM is not byte perfect yet, but is is functionally equivalent.

  • Run make to build the assets that will be included in the ROM. These files will be written to build/ntsc-final and are matching what's in the extracted/ntsc-final folder.

  • Run make rom to build the ROM. The ROM will be written to build/ntsc-final/pd.z64.

How do I know the built files are matching?

Run make followed by make test. If make test produces no output then everything is matching.
