Common

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/pmret/papermario
cd papermario

Unix

Install build dependencies:

./install.sh

NOTE: On Mac, if you get an error that looks like
Error: Cannot install md5sha1sum because conflicting formulae are installed.
 coreutils: because both install `md5sum` and `sha1sum` binaries

Please `brew unlink coreutils` before continuing.
it's fine to just open install.sh in a text editor, delete the md5sha1sum from the brew install line, and rerun it (put it back after so you don't accidentally commit it!)

Copy baseroms into the following places (at least 1 is required):

ver/us/baserom.z64 (sha1: 3837f44cda784b466c9a2d99df70d77c322b97a0)
ver/jp/baserom.z64 (sha1: b9cca3ff260b9ff427d981626b82f96de73586d3)

(If you're using WSL, you can enter the Linux filesystem by opening \\wsl$ in File Explorer; e.g. \\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\<your username>\papermario.)

Configure the build and extract assets from the base ROM:

./configure

Compile the game:

ninja

If you get papermario.z64: OK at the end, the build succeeded!

The output ROM is papermario.z64 - you can run this in any N64 emulator.

WSL 2

Install or upgrade to WSL 2 following these instructions (Ubuntu is recommended)
Open a WSL terminal
Run the following command: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && cd ~
Continue with the instructions for Linux

If you have Visual Studio Code, you can type code . to open the repo within it. Ctrl + J opens up a Linux terminal within VS Code.

Docker

A Docker image containing all dependencies can be built and ran as follows:

docker build . -t pm
docker run --rm -ti -v $(pwd):/papermario pm

Then continue with the instructions for Linux, but you can skip the install.sh!
