What's new in Super Mario 64 NX Launcher 2.0.1.0
Apr 11, 2023
- This commit contains three bug fixes:
- When downloading a brand new PAK, a check could be performed for a folder that did not yet exist.
- Hash key capitalization did not match thus resulting in a false negative despite the hash actually matching. This resulted in downloading in the PAK file every single time.
- Ensure that the previous process has released the downloaded update ZIP file before attempting to unzip.
- Requirements:
- .NET Framework 4.6 - This should be included as part of the installer, but this is the required framework if it is not installed properly for some reason.
- Python 3.6+ - This is a requirement of sm64ex itself, therefore it is a requirement for the launcher. You can download it at https://www.python.org/downloads/. When installing, make sure that you enable the "py" functionality as well as add Python to Windows' native PATH. Both of these options should be checked by default with the express install, however.
- A legally obtained copy of the US version of the Super Mario 64 ROM file. No need to rename for the launcher!
- Installation
- The installation process is pretty simple. Just download the zip file found on the releases page, unzip it to a directory of your choice, and then run the included setup.exe. This is a traditional Windows installer, so follow the familiar prompts and you'll soon have yourself a Start Menu entry, Desktop shortcut, and a brand new launcher, ready for its first run.
- NOTE: The first time you run the launcher, there will be a number of prompts, downloads, and background processes. These could take some time initially, but once everything is properly set up, your general use should be simple and snappy.
