This ROMhack has 110 stars and 10 main courses in total.
Originally created by Rafa4K, updated and maintained by ICUP321.
Credits to World Dash and SKELUX, since this hack uses 2 stage models from Yoshi’s Deja Vu DS and remakes 2 courses from Super Mario Star Road.
Huge thanks to chico88959 for optimizing/upgrading this ROMhack to support real NDS hardware and the latest version of SM64DSe!
Also credits to wacherhinovator for helping me fix a few music-related issues!
HOW TO PATCH:
1. Download Delta Patcher and choose the file containing your operating system’s name: https://github.com/marco-calautti/DeltaPatcher/releases
2. Open the Delta Patcher executable and in the Original file section, select your SM64DS ROM file. (Make sure you have a backup copy of your original SM64DS ROM, as this will overwrite the original file being patched).
3. Choose an XDelta file inside a folder that matches your SM64DS version. (If you don’t know which regional/revisional version you have, I suggest using an MD5 checksum utility and then compare the ROM’s checksum using a ROM database like No-Intro)
4. Click on apply patch. You’re done!
5. (Optional) Included with this archive is a .dct for use with AM64DS, a custom build of DeSmuME which lets you play SM64DS with analog controls!
To use it, rename the patched ROM to use the same filename as the .dct file and move the .dct file into the Cheats folder in AM64DS. More details and download can be found here (Windows only): https://github.com/LRFLEW/AM64DS_DeSmuME
There is also a usrcheat.dat file that comes with the latest 3DS circle pad patches, but with Super Mario: The New Beginning, The Koopa Who Stole Christmas, and Another Super Mario 3D ROMhacks added as well. More info about this can be found here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/circle-pad-patches-for-super-mario-64-ds-and-other-games-in-twilightmenu-with-twpatcher-and-rtcom.623267/
KNOWN ISSUES:
*Sometimes you will end up being teleported to random places whenever you die or clear certain levels. This is because some levels use hardcoded ReturnEntrance IDs that cannot be fixed without ASM hacking, but regardless of that, I assure you the game is 100% completable.
*If you beat the final bowser battle as any other character besides Mario, the game will crash in the end credits, simply just play as Mario to avoid the crash.
*When you beat the final bowser battle, the second unlockable castle door will become locked again for some weird reason. The only way to fix this is by obtaining the second castle key from Bowser again.
