was thinking about trying 16s since some friends are currently doing it, and I was looking specifically for a guide like this. thank you for explaining everything so well!
Nice tutorial, you didn't bog it down with things that a new player wouldn't care about or understand. I think this will be a very useful resource for lots of people starting out in the future
Thank you for this! I really wanted to get started with speedrunning this game but I was so overwhelmed and unsure where to start. This makes things less intimidating :)
right after watching this guide i bought myself a n64 to usb adapter :) already have a n64 controller. cant wait to learn the speedrun on my PC. got interested after mario 3d all stars and always loved the n64 speedruns
Just ordered a nintendo 64 controller + usb plugin because of this video. Long been fascinated by sm 64 speedruns and I've been wanting to try it out but the barrier to entry seemed high, not so much after this video. Great stuff well earned sub, idk how your video got recommended to me but I'm very glad it did.
That's awesome man! I wish you tons of luck in your speedrunning journey. I have another guide on my channel for movement that you should check out, and my discord is in the description. I'm always on discord so if you have any questions, feel free to ask me there.
Thank you! It's my first scripted video, so I got used to the editing while I made it. Hoping the next part will be even better if it ever gets made. I have a script but it's 6 pages long.
I know nothing about speedrunning and have 0 interest in doing it, yet I still watched this whole video. Lol. (I guess I’m intrigued by the process and find speed runs cool!)
@@SeanRaider Run ended up far better than expected ^_^ Ended up with a 3h 23. Somehow managed to forget the second slide star so after rainbow road I was like, fuuuuuck. Still a bunch of improvement space for normal execution.
This is gonna be my first game to speedrun. Been watching people speedrun for quite a while now. I already own a Nintendo 64 and a CRT TV. I really wanna get the hori controller if possible. I’m hype.
You got this! It'll be a lot easier to practice if you had a gameshark or an everdrive though. That's why I recommend emulator until you're willing to buy one.
Note: please, for the love of got make sure that, if you're gonna run the ntsc-j, make sure to get the original 1996 release, and not the 1997 rumble pak release. The easiest way to tell them appart is the cartridge label. 1996 has mario with the wing cap. 1997 has mario facing off against bowser. The 1997 has slower loading times, and patches out many glitches, mainly the backwards long-jump, meaning that playing 1, 0, 16 and 30 star runs on the 1997 release is impossible
For me, many of the features that are good for emulators are useless, since I was lucky to grow up with an old Nintendo 64 (NTSC-U). So a screen capture is out of the picture. But I've done what I can with my limited recording tools, with a webcam to record. So far, my 16 star runs have been improving. I started at 40-50 minutes, but now I'm at a 28:53, with lots of room for improvement.
lmFAO, "xbox controllers, quite durable and high quality" could not be further from the truth...my N64 controllers have all been thrown at walls and floors for 20+ years, and STILL work perfectly fine, meanwhile, I've had THREE xbox controllers that I never threw (one of which I NEVER played with, just tested when I got it) that STOPPED WORKING for no reason whatsoever, hahahahaha...other that that love the video!
Thank you! I'm actually learning Any% No ACE slowly right now! So I haven't done any runs yet, but I'm planning on streaming some OOT this summer for sure.
It's a little hard to explain. It's a 2 step process: 1) Right click on splits and click Edit Splits. Click on the Additional Info tab and select EMU on the bottom Platform section. 2) Right click on livesplit and click Edit Layout then click the Layout Settings button. At the top, scroll over and click on World Record. Check the Variables checkbox at the bottom.
Heyhey^^ I bought a Gamecube controller the other day and connected it to my OLED Switch using a USB adapter. It works fine, however I can't use the L button on the controller (top left) on the Mario 64 version (from the Switch Online subscription)...why doesn't the L button work there? How else can I duck/perform certain moves with Mario in the game? The button works everywhere else, including Smash Bros Ultimate. It's just in Mario 64 that the L button doesn't work, as I said. Thanks for any help!
I patched a ROM with Usamune and it even said Usamune ROM at the main menu but hitting down on the D-Pad still does nothing. Any ideas? Been practicing movement following this for a couple of hours and I've improved a lot, thanks a lot for including your button presses on the videos. Helps a lot with learning timing.
I'm really glad to hear they've helped. The usamune issue is bizarre though. If the rom is running, I'm assuming you already set the memory size to 8mb. The only other thing I can really think of is that your dpad isn't bound. Try going to Options -> Configure Controller Plugin and setting dpad down manually. You could even try setting it to a key on your keyboard for testing. If all else fails, I have a slightly outdated usamune file (already patched) in the #downloads channel in my discord server that I know works, link to join is in the description.
I have to use an emulator because I love in Europe and the European version of sm64 runs slower than the American and Japanese versions so I don’t use my console
No, nothing yet on speedrun.com. You could still speedrun on it though, leaderboards don't matter much. Overall I'd just recommend going emulator though, I don't even think you can get usamune on PC port either.
I don't recommend playing on a TV (unless it's an old CRT). TVs are made to have more input lag, though it depends on the TV I guess. Plus if you're using an N64 or Wii, the console will have to upscale the picture to fit the screen's resolution, causing even more input lag. If you're playing on PC though, the TV might be okay.
I have a problem tho, if im speedrunning on the N64 PAL(yes, i know, but im not top level yet so il worry about it later) how can i practice certain things most efficient?
From what I know, a PAL N64 can't play any NA or JP cartridges, so a gameshark or everdrive wouldn't help you unless it was specifically listed as PAL. I highly recommend you just play on emulator instead so you have access to the practice tools there.
Is it a big difference in using z64-, n64- or v64 roms. My n64-rom of sm64 in project64 1.6.1 doesnt have carpets at the castle entry and in the lobby. (NTSC-U). Wondering if this "glitch" might be banned?!
im trying to use my xbox controller for project 64 is the latest version allowed for speedrunning cause i cant config my whole controller andit wont let me change plugins and i cant downlaod the practice rom
No idea lol. I highly doubt there's a plugin for wiimote, but you could probably somehow make it work on the dolphin emulator. Only downside is that it's not legal for legitimate speedruns on speedrun.com
how did you get your gamcube controller to work with project 64 v1.6? ive tried many different plugins but none of them seem to work. I have the official adapter and the right drivers for it.
Hey, if you're still able to see these, would you be able to help me out with some sort of link to get my gamecube controller to work on project 64? i have the wii u adapter along with the wii usb setup program and vjoy, and on the wiiu setup program it shows the controller inputs working. Only problem is when trying to configure the controller on project 64 itself, none of the inputs apply. None of the videos ive watched have had that problem, unfortunately
How do you have your screen small with your cam and livesplit on the side? If that makes sense to you. I'm having an issue where project 64 is either too small or full screen, so my livesplit always covers part of the screen.
I use windowed mode and increase the resolution. I highly recommend going to the playlist at the top of the description and checking out the emulator setup guide. I go over all that stuff there. If you still have questions afterwards I'm happy to answer
That's a tough one. I used left trigger for crouch but I know some people prefer a bumper instead because a button press is more precise. I liked using B for Jump and A for Punch, but those could easily be switched. Otherwise the c buttons were on the right stick and the analog stick is the analog stick. Sorry if that's not helpful, I can answer more specific questions if you want.
I like using Left Trigger for crouch, but Z would be fine too. I use A for jump and B for dive, then I bind X and Y to Cleft and Cright, giving you camera buttons which are a lot easier to spam than the C stick. I still use the C stick for zooming in and out though.
I feel that certain inputs get lagged or dropped on Project 64. Has anyone else come across this issue? It's almost impossible to triple jump or do a standing turnaround.The problem is I'm using the exact timing that I'm seeing in this guide and I'm failing to do those moves. I'm using project 64 and a Nintendo switch GameCube controller adapter. Perhaps I just suck and need to get good?
@@SeanRaider Thank you for getting back to me in a very quick manner. I think the issue was I was using 2.3 instead of 1.6 for PJ64. However, now I cannot get the GCN controller to work when I try to configure the controller input in 1.6. I am using the Wii U USB GCN adapter and VJoy. Is that what you yourself use SeanRaider?
@@metaldude21 You should be using this driver, installation instructions are on there. It should make the GCC recognizable while you have the software on m4sv.com/page/wii-u-gcn-usb-driver
Lol, that was basically my mentality for switching. Keep in mind that it kinda requires a $50 cap card, a $30 splitter, and a $60-$140 practice tool (gameshark or everdrive). All these things are free on EMU.
Maybe we will eventually. It's still pretty new and making a change like that has pretty huge rammifications. For now though, only PJ64 1.6 is allowed, and we gotta abide by that.
Whats about that hardware link thing. i use my n64 i got for christmas when it came out its an EU console. i do have some na cartridges but i was never able to play.
EU cartridges are the same as JP cartridges. You gotta either sand off the tabs in your n64 or take the back of the cartridge from another JP/EU game and screw it onto the NA game. EU consoles run at a much slower fps though, so they're awful for speedrunning.
@@SeanRaider jeah i thaught you can mod a eu n64 so you can play na games like on an na console. so i just have to buy a na console. whats up about those cartridges that have a SD slot so you can play roms. do you have a guide for that?
@@Hishichi No guide for that. They're called everdrives and they work on any console. You just load an SD card with the OS folder and a bunch of rom files, then put it in and it just works. I recommend the EverDrive-64 v2.5 but it's pricey.
There aren't very many glitches in 70 star to begin with so there's not really much point. You'd basically just be playing without bomb clip and cannonless
@@benecosi2021 Pretty much the only thing they fixed was BLJs, which aren't allowed in 70 star anyway. There's no issue with playing on switch unless you're trying 0, 1, or 16 star.
Dolphin, being a Wii emulator, can natively read Gamecube inputs because a Wii can. That's why you can use an official Wii U/Switch adapter to make it work. When you're using any other platform (non Wii/GC emulators or any PC game), you need to make the computer read your GCC as a standard controller input. The Mayflash adapter has a PC mode you can switch on to do this, and Raphnet's adapter does this automatically. However with an official nintendo one, you need to use Massive's driver software. m4sv.com/page/wii-u-gcn-usb-driver
@@SeanRaider thanks for the reply but can you tell me why the vjoy setup gets stuck right when the bar is filled? it says it can take up to 5 minutes but its 20 mins later
@@JM43438 I've never heard of that issue. Try uninstalling vjoy and the driver and do it again. Otherwise, there's a guide on how to set it up on the website so make sure you're following it exactly

SeanRaider alright! Thanks for the advice! I think I will probs start out on emulator like you say till I get the hand of it :)
01:34 It's second party, not third party. This means that it's licensed by Nintendo and even uses original Nintendo buttons.

Will the switch work cuz I have it on switch so you think I can speed run on it
Yeah that's fine. Switch is basically the same except you can't BLJ, which is banned in 70 star anyway. So I recommend you learn the 70 star speedrun
Ironically, I don’t feel much input delay on WiiUVC when I speedrun. It never felt that bad to me.
What if I'm playing Shindo version? (3D All-stars)
You cannot do the blj

Lol, that was basically my mentality for switching. Keep in mind that it kinda requires a $50 cap card, a $30 splitter, and a $60-$140 practice tool (gameshark or everdrive). All these things are free on EMU.
We should use the one people reverse engineered for pc, there like no difference
Maybe we will eventually. It's still pretty new and making a change like that has pretty huge rammifications. For now though, only PJ64 1.6 is allowed, and we gotta abide by that.
@@SeanRaider oh even though the links taken down I still have it so
Whats about that hardware link thing. i use my n64 i got for christmas when it came out its an EU console. i do have some na cartridges but i was never able to play.
EU cartridges are the same as JP cartridges. You gotta either sand off the tabs in your n64 or take the back of the cartridge from another JP/EU game and screw it onto the NA game. EU consoles run at a much slower fps though, so they're awful for speedrunning.
@@SeanRaider jeah i thaught you can mod a eu n64 so you can play na games like on an na console. so i just have to buy a na console. whats up about those cartridges that have a SD slot so you can play roms. do you have a guide for that?
@@Hishichi No guide for that. They're called everdrives and they work on any console. You just load an SD card with the OS folder and a bunch of rom files, then put it in and it just works. I recommend the EverDrive-64 v2.5 but it's pricey.
@@Hishichi This guide is great: micro-64.com/features/everdrive64.shtml
@@SeanRaider thanks for your fast replies. was very helpfull. :D
Is it possible to speedrun in the glitchless category? I would like to make a 70 star glitchless speedrun :)
There aren't very many glitches in 70 star to begin with so there's not really much point. You'd basically just be playing without bomb clip and cannonless
@@SeanRaider I have Switch version so it's Shindou. Many glitches are fixed :(
@@benecosi2021 Pretty much the only thing they fixed was BLJs, which aren't allowed in 70 star anyway. There's no issue with playing on switch unless you're trying 0, 1, or 16 star.
@@SeanRaider If you not TAS the game and do BLJLess but that not relevant here

Hey, can somone help me how to bind my gamecube in a optimized way on the emoulator? Thanks a lot
Sad life i only have the Pal Version on my N64
that feeling when you dont have a compatible controller
It’s such a shame that PAL had to be such an awful version, since that’s the only official version I can play in my country :(
How come when I try to split on live split I have to tab out of the game?
turn on global hotkeys
can you tell me why project64 cant recognize my gamecube controller even though i use dolphin for over 5 years without any problems?
Dolphin, being a Wii emulator, can natively read Gamecube inputs because a Wii can. That's why you can use an official Wii U/Switch adapter to make it work. When you're using any other platform (non Wii/GC emulators or any PC game), you need to make the computer read your GCC as a standard controller input. The Mayflash adapter has a PC mode you can switch on to do this, and Raphnet's adapter does this automatically. However with an official nintendo one, you need to use Massive's driver software.

@@SeanRaider thanks for the reply but can you tell me why the vjoy setup gets stuck right when the bar is filled? it says it can take up to 5 minutes but its 20 mins later
@@JM43438 I've never heard of that issue. Try uninstalling vjoy and the driver and do it again. Otherwise, there's a guide on how to set it up on the website so make sure you're following it exactly
