@iirg4x iirg4x released this 17 Jul 16:23

Adds a one-command local setup tool — the easy way to build and play from
your own disc.

Play it (build from your own disc)

You supply your own Mario Party 6 (USA) disc. No game data and no prebuilt
game binaries are distributed
— the playable build is assembled on your
machine from your disc + the decompiled source, so nothing containing game code
or assets is ever redistributed (that's also why there's no downloadable .exe/.apk
here: a compiled build would contain the game's code).

setup.bat --disc "path\to\Mario Party 6 (USA).iso"

The tool checks prerequisites, fetches the zig toolchain and the decompilation,
extracts the assets it needs from your disc locally, and builds a runnable
dist\mp6native.exe. Accepts .iso / .rvz / .gcm or an extracted folder;
add --android to also build the APK. Details in setup/README.md.

Status — early preview (menus work; full board play not yet)

  • Boots through Health & Safety, opening storybook, and title
  • File select (Dolphin-compatible saves) and mode select
  • Party Mode boots and runs its full setup flow — player count, rules,
    handicap, turn count, board select — to the board-confirmation screen
  • Full board gameplay is not in yet (board-scene overlays still being
    decompiled upstream)
  • Themed pre-boot launcher/settings, 60 Hz timing, working audio
  • Android: touch controls, on-device saves, first-run disc import, ~32 MB APK
  • Dynamic widescreen is in progress

Notes

  • Fixes a stale decomp pin from v0.1.0 that would have broken fresh builds.
