Earlier this month, we informed you about an unofficial DirectX 12 PC version of Super Mario 64. And today, we are happy to report that there are already some mods and texture packs that greatly improve the game’s visuals.
The first mod greatly improves the game’s draw distance. This is a must-have mod as it it will minimize the distant objects pop-ins. Since Super Mario 64 does not require a high-end GPU/CPU, we strongly suggest using it.

The second mod we have for you today is a high quality 3D model of Mario. This 3D model is most likely from another Nintendo Wii or Nintendo Switch Mario game. I’m pretty sure that most die-hard Super Mario fans will be able to identify it. Nevertheless, the graphical improvement is huge. As such, we also suggest downloading and using it.
Lastly, there are currently two HD Texture Packs for Super Mario 64 PC. The first one uses AI techniques in order to improve the default textures. The second one has even higher and more realistic textures for Peach’s castle. Do note that this second texture pack does not improve the face textures of all other characters.
In case you are wondering, you can find and download these mods from here. There are also tutorials on how you can compile the game. However, this Discord channel does not promote piracy or pirated content. As such, you won’t find – and you can share – the Super Mario 64 rom or the compiled executable file.
Kudos to Unreal for bringing these mods to our attention!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Very good, thanks for share, i will download all Mods for sure!!!
be nice to just find an all in one fully modded version somewhere. I really don’t have the energy to try and figure out how to compile the thing at the discord.
Wait for them to AI upscale the entire game. Looks like they only have Peach castle atm. Non AI upscale texture packs are usuallly awful.
yeahhh i can see some people really really putting in the work to really remaster this game. Full on grass/foilage/rocks. It will be fkn awesome!!
the modding potential is amazing for this game, hopefully they add Luigi and some new levels.
Previous comment wasn’t allowed, so just search for videos of this on Youtube, and you’ll find easily download links in the video description.
Make sure to read comments first to see if people say it’s safe or not.
Oh and screw Nintendo. I always hated that shi*** company with passion, and I sure don’t regret I chose SEGA in the 90s console war.
You’re such a loser you’re still dredging up Nintendo versus Sega? Yeah, the garbage tier company is the one that doesn’t sell consoles anymore.
Hey, I don’t think I’ve ever found a trans Trump supporter before. You’re like a unicorn.
What’s even funnier is that the people who go around mass downvoting comments tend to be cowards who hide their own profiles.
Wonder why…
I wish I was really a trans, so that I could let you discover s*x.
Have you ever been penetrated, honey?
You’ll find a download link there. And screw Nintendo. Hate that filthy company who has ZERO respect for gamers with passion. Sega should come back and replace those bastards.

I talked to Nintendo and they said they didn’t mean to kick your puppy..
Sorry, I don’t speak h*mo.
Sega is a failure of a company. You seem to be a failure too. “Gamers with passion”? Seriously? Gtfo
Do you even know what I’m talking about, though?
I’m talking about the fact that Nintendo shut down EVERY fan project ever made about their games. Every single one of them. Sega, on the other hand, actually SUPPORTS people who mod their games or even create fangames based on their games. Sega cares about games, Nintendo cares about money. Period. Oh, and also, Nintendo remakes the EXACT same games since 40 years. Enough already.
You GTFO, you pathetic antifa piece of sh**.
Ahahaha, you’re a failure at life you fascist piece of dirt.
Sega is garbage. They don’t care about games or anything of the sort. They care about idiots like you fawning over them to throw money at them.
And look. It worked! you’re that big of a sucker you’re still wetting your panties over them today.
You wonder why people think you’re a worthless nobody? Take some time to self reflect.
Yeah, because buying the exact same Nintendo games every year is smarter. lol
Yawn…
Why does the modded version struggle to break 20 fps in all the videos? These mods can’t be taxing it that hard when the PC port works perfectly fine normally.
