Paper Mario 64 Recompiled

Cloning

Clone the project recursively to include git submodules with git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/lucyawrey/Paper_Mario_64_Recomp. To update submodules if the project is already cloned, instead run git submodule update --init --recursive.

Building

  1. Make sure cmake and a C++ 20 or later compiler are installed. To do so on most Linux distributions run sudo apt update, then, sudo apt install build-essential gdb cmake to get cmake and GCC. On windows, you should use "Visual Studio Build Tools 2022". They can be installed from winget with the command winget install --id=Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.BuildTools -e.
  2. Build the N64Recomp tool. To do so open a terminal to lib/N64Recomp and run the commands cmake -S . -B build plus cmake --build build to build the project binaries. They will be outputted to build/debug.
  3. Put a "Paper Mario NTSC 1.0" ROM in this project's rom directory with the name paper_mario_usa_rev1.z64.
  4. Build the papermario decompilation project at lib/papermario according to these instructions and put the resulting ver/us/build/papermario.elf file in this project's rom directory with the name paper_mario_usa_rev1.elf.
  5. From the root of this repository run ./lib/N64Recomp/build/N64Recomp paper_mario_usa_rev1.toml to generate the decompiled C code. This currently crashes partway through the function iwa_01_MontyMoleAI_DrawRock_009110FC with the error "No function found for jal target: 0x8006FE90".

That's as far as I have gotten on the port so far. Next up is to fix the bug when running N64Recomp. Then, it is to set up a build script to recompile the C code into a native binary. We will need to link N64 Modern Runtime and RT64 in order for anything to work.
