I have been really busy over here in land. Me and
have been going through some troubles recently so I am sorry I have not been around.
It is time to get out of the darkness of that and focus on something I enjoy
Writing a steemit post!
I do not know if you saw but Kaze Emanuar released a prototype for what could change n64 online multiplayer forever.
Super Mario 64 Online!
Who is Kaze Emanuar ?
A modder of n64 games.
He started off small
making little mods of super mario 64
He then began to work on bigger projects.
The first bigger project he worked on brought
Luigi-Peach-Toad-Rosalina to
Super Mario 64
The title of the game was
Super Mario 3d world 64
His second project was
Super Mario Last Impact.
Super Mario Lost Impact is a total redo of super mario 64.
It has new levels.
New mechanics well new to super mario 64
Like the shooting stars from galaxy
The fludd device from super mario sunshine.
And it made worldwide acclaim which lead to some of the biggest gaming websites to show off his mod.
Nintendo threw down the DMCA on the game but it is still distributed in the shadows of the internet.
One of his newer projects is
Super Mario 64 odyssey
The idea of this game is taking one of the mechanics from the new mario on switch to mario 64.
Giving the ability to control enemies in super mario 64.
His latest emulator/program?
Super Mario Online
When I mean online
I do not mean like
2 -4 people
I mean
A ton
There are some crazy hijinks that can happen with multiplayer of this style.
Death at every corner the whole game is a battleground
With this program of the n64 emulator you can technically explore all mods for SM64
People can run ahead of you and you can defeat the last boss while you are beating people up.
Also you can work together to go through the game quicker or glitchier if you so do choose.
It does not matter who created the mod.
People are actively working to get this to work with all n64 games.
One of the best full game conversions out there
Super Mario Star Road.
How do you set it up
I do not understand the full rundown of how it works.
This video right here would be the best description of how to set it up and to join a server.
N64 emulation is still going strong after decades of people messing around with exe files.
I think with this online experimentation we will see a dawn of a new era in the 64s emulation life cycle.
This also shows that people want to grab the core gameplay of past games and expand onto them to create new experiences.
New generations get to experience things much like how it was for me when I first played this game.
Why doesn't nintendo hire them already?
If I was nintendo I would make all switches sold able to go online with super mario 64 for free. As well give the tools for nintendo fans to create content and perfect it on the switch.
To bad I am not a CEO.
Oh well

Nintendo for creating this game
Kaze and other modders for caring for old games enough to evolve them.
And the youtube guy for explaining how to set this online up in the most simplest way possible.
