Welcome to HackerSM64! Whether this is your first time creating a ROM hack for Super Mario 64, an experienced hacker that's moving from binary tools such as ROM Manager, or even a decomp pro installing on a new computer, this is an important reference that you will likely need to use for all of the specific details of setting HackerSM64 up.

Operating System Where to Start

Windows
If your computer is running Windows, start at the Installing WSL page. Alternatively, you may use MinGW, which does not require using WSL or virtual machines: Installing MinGW.

Ubuntu
If your computer is running Ubuntu, start at the Installing Dependencies page.

Other Linux
If your computer is running a Linux distro other than Ubuntu, start at the Installing Dependencies page and use the installation instruction set for your distribution, if listed. Alternatively, install Docker and follow the applicable setup instructions.

macOS
