About

Mario Party 7 is a 2005 party game developed by Hudson Soft and published by Nintendo for the GameCube, released in North America, Japan, the UK, and continental Europe between late 2005 and early 2006. Mario Party 7 is a work-in-progress decompilation of the GameCube original, currently supporting only the USA ROM revision (GP7E01). It contains no game assets or assembly — a copy of the original disc is required to build.

Getting started

Building requires copying a supported GameCube disc image of the USA revision into orig/GP7E01, then running the Python configure script followed by `ninja`.

Known issues & limitations

The decompilation is a work in progress.

What you need to run it
