What was done #
This project provides a native PC port of Super Mario Sunshine (GMSE01) by utilizing a matching decompilation. It requires a user-provided disc image to function and supports multiple platforms, including Linux, macOS, and Windows.
The sms-pc-port project is a native PC implementation of the North American GameCube release of Super Mario Sunshine. It is constructed from a matching decompilation of the original game code. The port does not include game data; users must provide their own disc image (ISO, GCM, or CISO) to build and run the program. The project includes a launcher to assist with setup and updates across Linux, macOS, and Windows. The codebase has been developed with assistance from the AI model Claude, as documented in multiple commit trailers. Technical features include support for both OpenGL and Vulkan backends, widescreen rendering, and various quality-of-life options like debug overlays and multiplayer synchronization. The port handles 64-bit architecture by ensuring memory addresses remain below 4 GiB. Development and regression testing are supported by internal tools such as gx_selftest and various Python scripts designed to verify game behavior across different host widths and resolutions.
Reproduce it #
Clone the repository with submodules, install system-specific prerequisites, place a valid GMSE01 disc image in the 'rom/' directory, and execute the provided build and run scripts.
