Super Mario 64 DS

Nintendo DS Super Mario 64 DS running on PC through native. Free and complete.

How this port works

This is a native port: the game was rebuilt to run as a real PC program with no emulator in the loop. That usually means better performance, arbitrary resolution and mod support — and it is why these run well on modest hardware.

From-scratch, byte-matching decompilation of Super Mario 64 DS into C/C++, with a live progress atlas and matching tools.

Frequently asked

Do I need the original game to play Super Mario 64 DS on PC?

No. Super Mario 64 DS is free and complete: download the release and run it, with no ROM, dump or commercial game copy.

What does "native" mean?

This is a native port: the game was rebuilt to run as a real PC program with no emulator in the loop. That usually means better performance, arbitrary resolution and mod support — and it is why these run well on modest hardware.

Will Super Mario 64 DS run on a low-end PC?

Native ports and recompilations skip CPU emulation entirely, so they are usually far lighter than an emulator for the same console. With no published measurement for this project, though, any estimate would be guesswork — test it on your own machine.

Which systems does it support?

No release has been published, so there is nothing to say which systems it runs on. The game originally shipped on Nintendo DS.

Is it legal to use?

The project is public and open source, maintained by tangosdev, and contains nothing from the commercial game. Responsibility for the game copy you use is yours — which is why the developers require you to supply your own.
