Netplay Guide For Smash 64 (By: E2xD)

Resources Needed:

  • 35 MB of space.
  • Project 64kVE: (I provided 3 different links just in case one breaks)
  • Rom of Smash 64 (We can’t link it.).

For Mac Users:

You will also need these additional 2 Programs.

  • The Unarchiver: It’s free on the App Store. Download this first as it lets you extract   RAR and ZIP files
  • Winebottler: download the correct version depending on what OS you have.       Yosemite users will need the development version but everyone else should probably use the stable build.

Setting Up:

For Windows:

Extract Project 64kVE and place it anywhere. Place the rom in the Project 64kVE>Roms. http://prntscr.com/5q6sfk.

Make sure you chose the correct ROM directory in File>Choose ROM directory: http://prntscr.com/5skesr

For Mac:

Open up the Wine .dmg file you get once you download winebottler. Drag both the wine and winebottler icons into the applications folder.: http://imgur.com/XbXgubH

Extract Project 64kVE and place it anywhere. Place the rom in the Project 64kVE>Roms. http://prntscr.com/5q6sfk

To start Project 64 right click on the .exe file and click open with Wine: http://imgur.com/p0IvaOm 

When you first run Project 64  it it’s going to ask you if you want to make a bundle or not. Select the option to NOT make a bundle and check “Do Not Ask Again”

Make sure you chose the correct ROM directory in File>Choose ROM directory: http://prntscr.com/5skesr

To find the right folder click on the “/” Directory in the screen shot, then go to users>your username> then wherever you extracted the project64 folder>Roms: http://i.imgur.com/N6P098R.png
