Super Mario 64 on the Web

I had forgotten how many interruptions there were to actually getting to the game. Intro cutscene, letter from Peach, prompt from Lakitu outside the castle, prompt from Bowser inside the castle, prompt from the Bombombs inside the first level...<p>I get it though, they had to ease people into 3d games. Still, kind of annoying when I just wanted to get to jumping and star collecting.

Here is the link to the GitHub project with the source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ProbablyKam&#x2F;Mario64webgl">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ProbablyKam&#x2F;Mario64webgl</a><p>I was able to stand up my own copy of it just by importing the GH project on Glitch: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;glitch.com&#x2F;edit&#x2F;#!&#x2F;positive-rhetorical-timbale" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;glitch.com&#x2F;edit&#x2F;#!&#x2F;positive-rhetorical-timbale</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;positive-rhetorical-timbale.glitch.me&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;positive-rhetorical-timbale.glitch.me&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;ve recently been enjoying watching this young modder on YouTube optimize all of the original SM64 source code, doubling frame rate, and modding his own Return To Yoshi&#x27;s Island<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=t_rzYnXEQlE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=t_rzYnXEQlE</a>

I just purchased a mint N64 with a new-in-box OEM Nintendo controller (it is TIGHT). Console came with Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Mario, Kart, Smash Bros. A few hundred $$$ investment, for: 3 N64s; 9 Controllers; ExPak; dozen top-shelf games, few crap; HDMI output on one; bunch of Pokemon +x-fer pack [gave to friend for cheap].<p>A local pawnshop had good copies of Ocarina+Mask; a friend wanted an N64 so I found one with expansion pak (which came bundled with Donkey Kong + Pokemon, which I also sold to friend)... Conkers and Rocket are on my wishlist [they are one hundred$&#x2F;each].<p>I&#x27;m about to replace all the internal batteries for another few decades of cartridge savestates. So much time. So many memories.<p>All to say: the N64 Controller is a thing of beauty, and I cannot wait to dual-wield with dual controllers and 8MB RAM. I&#x27;m just under forty. Christmas came early.

No sound on firefox :(<p>But still awesome seeing the game pop up instantly with no loading, prompts or whatever. Just like turning on an actual n64.

There is also Wipeout on the web: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phoboslab.org&#x2F;wipegame&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phoboslab.org&#x2F;wipegame&#x2F;</a>

Little surprised there isn&#x27;t a prompt to upload the copy of the ROM we all legally dumped from our personalized copies of the cartridge.

I couldn&#x27;t figure out the keyboard controls (and can&#x27;t find the source code), but you can plug in a controller and it&#x27;ll play just great (presumably through some web controller API).

Counting 3..2..1.. before Nintendo takes this down.

I know intellectually that smartphones are more powerful than an N64... but playing this in a browser on a low-end smartphone is surreal.<p><pre><code> PSA: bluetooth keyboard: X, C, space; arrow keys. Adjust view with WASD</code></pre>

As I recently started playing with WASM as well for my emulator, it&#x27;s fun to see the pitfalls I run into are the same for everyone, like the AudioContext being forbidden without user interaction, forcing me to add a &quot;Start&quot; button.<p>Gamepad support on browsers is abysmal as well. It works, but the buttons are not interpreted properly leading to the wrong button being reported (but the OS reports the correct ones!), even for the most standard xbox controller. It seems like the wheel that is sdl gamecontroller db will have to be reinvented on the browser again... while making it a bit harder since the browser might not tell you the exact gamepad model (it would add fingerprinting bits).

Chrome sound wasn&#x27;t working for me on Linux, but after going into &quot;Site Settings&quot; (from the menu to the left of the URL) and explicitly changing &quot;Sound&quot; from &quot;Automatic (default)&quot; to &quot;Allow&quot;, it seems to work perfectly.

This is where the main game with keyboard controls: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;28klotlucas2.github.io&#x2F;Mario64webgl&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;28klotlucas2.github.io&#x2F;Mario64webgl&#x2F;</a>

Does the Peach picture gradually change to Bowser when Mario approach it ?

Looks like this is forked from the original at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;28klotlucas2&#x2F;Mario64webgl">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;28klotlucas2&#x2F;Mario64webgl</a> ?

Absolutely amazing, worked straight off the bat, even works with my 8BitDo N64 controller with no config.<p>What an age we live in!

Did anyone else just... not like this game? I know it&#x27;s sacrilege, but I&#x27;ve just never found the appeal. Even being the perfect age as a kid when it came out, I just could never enjoy it. Something about how disjointed the worlds are always confused me.

This is pretty awesome but I&#x27;m surprised Nintendo hasn&#x27;t done anything about these online versions of their games, they&#x27;re fairly aggressive about protecting their IP.

It kind of blows my mind to be able to open a browser tab and play mario 64, spent so many hours on this as a kid on the N64.

I wonder if in 2034, we&#x27;ll be able to run GTA V in the browser for free with some cool open source project

This is amazing but I&#x27;m guessing it won&#x27;t be long before Nintendo takes it down.

Sound seems to be an issue, as it works maybe 25% of the times I&#x27;ve tested this.

unrelated but I was surprised to learn that backward long jumping to clip through the star doors is very easy to do on original controllers. Took less than 5 minutes of attempts to get it right when I had SM64 recently.

This is working perfectly on my iPhone 6. Massive props.

i&#x27;m impressed with the performance! this laptop struggles with simple games in steam, but had no problem with this at all

Very impressive!

it&#x27;s so smooth. identical experience.

Isn’t this a bit sketchy to just have a repo with no source and a wasm file? I understand not having the actual Mario64 source, but I’d feel more comfortable running this if the translation code was open source
