UPDATE: PortMaster has recently created a one-stop shop for all things related to running ports on retro handhelds. I recommend checking out their website and my most recent PortMaster guide instead of the guide below; I’m leaving this page up for posterity’s sake only. To get started, head over to their Games tab, find the game you want to run, and check out their instructions on that page. If you run into any issues, their discord server is also a great place to start.
While there isn’t a direct port of SM64 on PortMaster, I would recommend checking out Render96ex!
Today let’s get the beautiful SM64 port installed on the PocketGo S30, running at a beautiful 60 frames per second.
To install Super Mario 64 port on your device, you will need to follow the steps in this tool, created by developer fcorbier (source here). Note that you will need the NTSC/US Super Mario 64 ROM, in .z64 format, with the SHA-1 hash “9bef1128717f958171a4afac3ed78ee2bb4e86ce”.
Follow the steps in the video and the tool’s page, and you should be set!
N64 A : A or B N64 B : X or Y N64 START : START N64 L : L1 N64 R : R1 N64 Z : L2 or R2 N64 Stick : Bottom stick N64 CPad : Digital pad
You can change the button mapping either in the game itself (press START then R1), or within the emus/supermario64/sm64config.txt file on your SD card after installing the port.
