Net64 is a work in progress Super Mario 64 modification providing fully featured cooperative multiplayer over the internet.
It is written in C / C++ targeting Windows and Linux operating systems.
Net64 provides the necessary components to run N64 games, apply modifications, initialize hooks, host / connect to multiplayer sessions and synchronize gamestate.
Currently the project is in early development and not ready for general use.

Net64 internally uses the Mupen64Plus emulator.
On 32Bit Windows and 64Bit Linux builds a build of Mupen64Plus is automatically bundled when running make install.
If you are building for a different architecture, you have to manually set MUPEN64PLUS_DIR to point to the correct Mupen64Plus installation.
It's recommendet to use a build from the official release section.
Be sure to use a Mupen64Plus build with the same OS and architecture as the Net64 build!
In case you don't want to bundle Mupen64Plus you can set the cmake variable INSTALL_MUPEN64PLUS to OFF.
