About
Super Mario 64 is Nintendo's 1996 3D platform game for the Nintendo 64, in which Mario explores painting-based worlds to collect Power Stars and rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. Super-Mario-64-DS-Remastered is a work-in-progress mod for the Super Mario 64 PC decompilation port (Render96) that replaces its character and object models with higher-detail models taken from the Nintendo DS remake, Super Mario 64 DS.
How it differs from the original
Rather than the original N64-style character and object models, this mod swaps in models from the later Nintendo DS remake of the game, layered on top of the existing Render96 PC port.
Getting started
Setting it up means first building the Render96 PC port of Super Mario 64 (via its own repository or the community Builder2 tool), then copying this project's files into it and recompiling; a simpler option lets you drag just the character models into the compiled game's DynOS mod-pack folder to load them in-game.
