An unofficial PC port of Mario Kart 64 is now available for download

53 Comments

Earlier today, we shared that the NES emulator, 3dSen, has been fully released. And now, there’s even more good news for our Nintendo fans. A fan-made PC version of the classic Mario Kart 64 has just come out, and you can download it right now.

Titled SpaghettiKart, this PC port is the result of reverse engineering the entire Mario Kart 64 game. What’s crucial here is that SpaghettiKart has clean code. This means that it does not borrow any code line from the original N64 game. As such, the devs can release it to the public (and Nintendo cannot do anything at all to stop it).

Do note that this unofficial PC port of Mario 64 does not feature any game assets. This means that you’ll have to generate the O2R from the ROM yourselves. Right now, SpaghettiKart supports only the US ROM of Mario Kart 64.

In short, this project is similar to the unofficial PC ports of Super Mario 64, Crash Team Racing, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Perfect Dark, Jak & Daxter and Sonic Unleashed.

Right now, it’s not clear if SpaghettiKart works with Mario Kart 64 HD. Mario Kart 64 HD is a mod that adds high-quality textures and updates the characters so they look like the early 3D versions. It makes the game feel like a remaster and is one of the best ways to play Mario Kart 64 on PC. Until SpaghettiKart gets more mods or features, it’s better to stick with Mario Kart 64 HD.

Ideally, I’d love to see some Path Tracing effects alongside an HD Texture Pack and the updated sprites. That would make it the perfect way to enjoy the game in 2025. But right now, it’s not clear if the devs are planning to make that happen.

All in all, this is a cool project. It also opens up the possibilities for PC-only features that were not possible when emulating the game. For instance, it comes with a Track Editor. It also has a Custom Track Importer, Crystal Clear Audio, and Harder CPUs. Plus, there is a Freecam.

You can download this unofficial PC port of Mario Kart 64 from this link. Make sure to also read its installation guide.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

      1. (My other comment got a timer, but this is a continuation of it until it shows up)

        Also, their older games inspired some really great games that wouldn't have happened had it not been for them.

        For example, older Zelda games inspired Darksiders. EarthBound inspired Omori. Metroid (alongside Castlevania which is not theirs) inspired the entire Metroidvania genre.

        On the other hand, what did their newer games like Zelda BOTW inspire? Mobile gacha GAAS po󠀀op like Gen󠀀sh󠀀it Impact (that made the ef󠀀fem󠀀ina󠀀te soylent weeaboo art style become mainstream in gaming and spread everywhere and is infecting almost everything like a literal ca󠀀nc󠀀er)? GTFO!

      2. At least, IMO, their older games used to be quite "something" actually unlike the crap they release nowadays. The only people who call crap like Zelda TOTK/BOTW are just gayming journalists with a mindset like those at IGN (literally the ones who caused the meme "too much water" because of their pure idiocy) and delusional fanboys blinded by nostalgia (and very likely never even played the original games prior to that and proceed to call themselves "zElDa fAnS!").

        For example, Zelda TOTK/BOTW have literally nothing to do with the older Zelda games other than the name, it's a generic, horrible, and poorly-designed open world RPG with an empty world just like the hundreds of others out there and an intentionally frustrating RPG. I don't care if it's not "officially" labelled as an RPG, it has almost everything that classifies an RPG game. No joke, a random enemy could literally take out over half of your maxed out health, and even some, like the Lynels, could literally one hit KO you at maximum health. What a $h!tty and frustrating game! The more I see clips of them, the more happier I get that I dropped them without continuing these poop games

        Meanwhile, the older Zelda games are neither RPG nor open world to begin with, they weren't (empty) open worlsd + frustrating + generic RPGs + Souls-likes + and what not.

        I want to link but can't due to the external link timer, but just look up a video on JewTube titled 「Majora's Mask N64 HD」Final Hours and skip until 4:10.

        Majora's Mask for example feels like the entire game is a horror game without actually being a horror game, 25 years later and I have yet to see a game that does the same as this game did.

        You won't get the same feeling unless you actually play it by yourself, but things like these with how the Moon is slowly coming down to crash with its extremely unsettling face, having you hurry before it crashes and everyone is terrified and especially with the "end of the world" OST are part of the reason what made their earlier games unique actually.

        1. Tell me you haven't played the new Zelda's with out telling me you haven't. Because you haven't.

          1. I played them. Let me reassure you that I also have multiple relatives who are diehard fans of the earlier Zelda and literally none of them liked that POS called Zelda BOTW.

            In fact, one of my relatives finally had the chance to try BOTW last year, and it was just SO bad that he lost interest in trying TOTK.

            Yeah, they really are THAT bad, delusional fanboy and silly goy snowflake who got so triggered to the point to downvote all of my comments here and idiotically upvotes its OWN comments just like the triggered oversensitive goy snowflake it is.

      1. Yeah, just like how they totally didn't take down TWO Switch emulators (not "piracy sites") ONLY LAST YEAR, right?

        What kind of planet do the apes at Jewtendo even live in to think that they are the ones who dictate the rules? Since when EMULATION ever was "iLlEgAl"? Even AmeriKKKa, the literal worst country on the entire planet for pirates, considers emulation to be 100% legal.

        1. You clearly don't know the reason why Nintendo was able to take down the Switch emulators. Because if you did, you'd know why the Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time unofficial PC ports are still live, after this whole time.

          PS: Writing "angry" stuff like a kid does not make you smart, especially if you don't know what you're writing about.

          1. While I absolutely understand your point, have you not seen that these scums of the earth literally raised prices to $80 as the standard and for horrible mobile-looking games even like Mario Kart World?

            They just keep making lies and excuses for these prices to rip off the simple-minded normies' wallets, I still remember when they said in response to Zelda TOTK being priced at $70 that it's "jUsTiFiEd bEcAuSe oF iTs qUaLiTy!" as well as having said that "nOt aLl gAmEs wIlL bE pRiCeD $70!" and yet here we are, a reskin of Mario Kart 8 for $80 and re-releases of Switch 1 games with no DLCs priced at $70…….. where we were and where are now.

            This will only pave the way and normalize what's even worse than this just like how when 2K started the $70 price for NBA and said just the same as Jewtendo said, which we TOTALLY saw how masterpiece that NBA reskin was, right? right?!

          4. 1. I'm not poor. It's just that I'm not retarded enough to burn his money over mobile trash that I didn't even need in the first place like the millions of simple-minded goyim normies out there (including yo󠀀urs󠀀elf).

            2. What's your job IRL? Shilling for the scummiest game company on the face of the Earth Jewtendo 24/7 on the internet? And what's your source of income? Mommy and daddy?

          5. We agree on the stupid $80 price, it's ridiculous. No one should buy an $80 game, especially when it comes to Switch.

            But then, there are a lot of Switch fans that are happy to pay this amount of money. So, can you blame Nintendo for taking advantage of this? Hell, they might as well sell some games at $100, and some fans would still buy them. Point is that from a business perspective, Nintendo is doing what most would have done. The problem is that people are buying them. Because, if the games were not selling, Nintendo would have definitely dropped the prices.

          6. "The problem is that people are buying them. Because, if the games were not selling, Nintendo would definitely drop the prices."

            Yeah, and that's what actually led us into where we are in now; had most of so-called "gamers" actually used their brains instead of throwing their wallets, we wouldn't have been here now with greedy corpos ripping us off 😉

            But still, your point is actually valid. Thank you for the discussion 👍

          8. you'd be a great drug dealer or cartel member jboi, oh wait games are addictive and dstructive and then you push this soft piracy angle here, oof

          9. Games are very much fun, just control yourself when talking about them. That soft piracy angle you mentioned, however, is very spot on.

          11. Sure…

            Enjoy funding your OWN genocide and extermination by the infantophile J󠀀oo sub󠀀hum󠀀ans that you worship and adore. And that is without even talking the literal worst genocide of the 21 century that is ALREADY happening in Palestine, infantophile-worshipping Koshervative.

            Oh, and don't forget your daily routine and that is to cry about your Talmudick fairy tale from a century that is the "mUh hOlOhOaX!!!" on every single corner in the universe where supposedly 6 gorillion infantophiles were sent straight to Hell to suck their beloved Satan's co󠀀ck in H󠀀ell that they worship and adore for all the rest of eternity.

          12. yostupid, there are cryptoJus of all ethnicities, all religions etc it's an easily proved FACT and you are just dishonest skumster likely a jurat yourself. Falashas are black jews, marranos, anglos, there are chinese, japanese, korean etc etc etc cryptos. Itsvan bakony and others have voluminous info on this. You're dishonest.

      2. Doesn't matter, they don't read, they just reach to their b*tthole and throw sht everywhere. It's kinda the motto around here, in case you haven't noticed yet, John.

          6. I mean, our countries are already "touched" by terrorists, cos you Jews literally run Western countries and decided to spread that disease here too, God knows why. (Maybe jealousy? Revenge?)
            I mean, you're the ones supporting the great replacement, not us.

            You seriously think that nobody noticed that every time a guy comes up in the media and starts supporting massive immigration, it's a Jewish person?
            Same for the push for the LGBT agenda, and same for all leftists policies, and so on and so on…

            The nerve you've got to say that we aren't affected yet, when it's you guys who are destroying our countries.
            Nobody is more anti-white than the Jews.

          8. Hillary spoke yiddish at home, at the very least sHe's a crypto, bill is likely a crypto like the rockefeller likely rockenfelder cryptos, roosevelts are jews easily proved from their involvment in slave ships and dope inc, EISENhower, Stalin, lenin, marx, engels, solomon truman, marxism has always been totally jew, and hyper megacorpr central banksterism is the other side of it. demons.

        1. I wouldn't say it like that, but, yes, Nintendo doesn't want dollars to go to versions of its games that it hasn't officially made, same with other consolemakers at this point. Xbox encourages people to emulate on its game consoles and mod its system but only because of simply using the immense power of Xbox systems to run classic games on them.

    3. It wants to protect its profits is all. Nintendo is doing what other companies do, except unlike Sony, it always listens to its customers to actually improve quality and business models/practices/features, and Nintendo doesn't actively block content in third-party games to "protect the children". Also, Nintendo games don't have a lot of unsavory and risqué content to actually need to use censorship or anything. Even if a Nintendo had "censorship", it'd be to keep needlessly smutty or generally frowned upon content from getting people in trouble or make customers complain about something. 'Tis nothing but a standard keeping of high-quality and moral standards.

  4. I love that these projects keep coming out. While I usually try to play older games as much as possible on their intended platform, playing on PC with all the modern amenities is awesome.

    As a side note, I just realized after scrolling through the comments here…I can block a user and made the comments section so much nicer. There are some truly unhinged people here, and being able to just block and move on makes the comments section better in every conceivable way.

    1. Don't worry, I'm not crazy. Cool as these PC projects are, older and most certainly many classic games are best on the platforms they were first released on.

  5. Who the hell cares about that overrated crap?
    All Super Mario Kart games always sucked, even back then.
    Street Racer was always much better.

    You want a REALLY good arcade kart game?
    Give a chance to Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled on any of the recent Switch emulators, like Torzu or Eden.
    It already runs flawlessly, looks a million times better than even the latest Mario Kart, and plays much better too.

  6. It works like a charm despite not yet being the version 1.0 full release. Internal resolution upscaling, up to 8x MSAA, frame interpolation for high frame-rates, ability to add mods once they arrive, etc. Sweet!

    1. While I know that they're not by the same developer who ported it, when I played Majora's Mask 2 Ship 2 Harkinian earlier this month; interpolating the FPS introduced so many annoying glitches in the animations and missing sounds during cutscenes, and that was interpolating at up to 60 FPS only, so upping the FPS even further would likely introduce even more issues.

      Not like I was enjoying playing at 60 FPS anyway, the game felt just so abnormal when played at 60 FPS, not because it's supposedly "not intended to be played at 60 FPS!" as some may claim, but because this game in particular loses its "cinematic" feel it has when played at above its original 20 FPS.

      Not just that, but also the additional "right analog stick" (since N64 controllers had only one analog stick) felt weird to use. If you use it, you'll have to continuously use it or else the camera just stands still until you press the "lock on" button. Not that the game has any issues with the original camera anyway so I don't a reason to use it.

      If you were to use its enhancements, I would say just up the internal resolution like 1080p/4K/dynamic 8K and leave everything else untouched.
