The first public release of the Hotel Mario PC port: the 1994 Philips CD-i game, running without a CD-i BIOS.

Bring your own disc. Nothing from the game is in this download: no disc files and no game code. You need a disc image made from your own copy of Hotel Mario (Europe), as a raw .bin (2352 bytes a sector).

How to play

  1. Download HotelMario-0.1.0-windows.zip and unzip it.
  2. Run Hotel Mario setup.exe and pick your disc image. The setup checks it is the right disc (SHA-1) and refuses anything else.
  3. Press Make Hotel Mario, then open the Hotel Mario (PC) folder it makes and double-click hotel.exe.

Controls: arrows / stick move, Z or A is button 1, X or B is button 2, F1 settings, F11 fullscreen, Esc quits.

How it works

The game's own program, read from your disc, runs unchanged on a 68000 interpreter (Musashi). The CD-i's operating system, disc streaming, video chip and sound are rebuilt in the port.

Known limits

  • Europe disc only. The USA release isn't supported yet.
  • Windows only in this release. The 3DS, DS and Android builds aren't included yet.
  • Every hotel and the ending have been checked with scripted test runs; a full play-through by hand hasn't been done.
