This is a collection of files and tools used to compile and test code for the n64.
toolchain-install provides binutils, gcc, newlib, and gdb targeting
mips64, with -march=vr4300 and -mabi=32 as defaults for gcc.
ed64rdb: ED64v3 USB packet translator, for remote debugging of gz with gdb.gfxdis: F3DEX2 display list disassembler / decompiler.grc: Resource compiler for creating linkable n64 texture objects.gru: Lua environment for manipulating raw binaries, n64 roms, zelda64 file systems, ups patches, and gameshark codes.gs: Gameshark upload tool for use with a Moschip USB Parallel Cable.luapatch: Tool to generate lua sources from binaries, to inject into emulated RAM in BizHawk.
list/list.c/h: Doubly linked list implementation.memory/memory.c/h: Minimal malloc implementation.set/set.c/h: Ordered set implementation.vector/vector.c/h: Vector implementation.grc.c/h: API for resources created bygrc.mips.h: VR4300 mips3 header, with convenience definitions and assembler macros.n64.h: Mostly-compatible definitions for a subset of the ultra library.startup.c/h: Basic program initialization routines.vr4300.c/h: Disassembler library.
gl-n64.ld: Linker script for n64 binaries.
You'll need to have these packages installed: wget tar make diffutils texinfo gcc g++ lua5.3 jansson libusb-1.0 libgmp. See Installation, step 4. If you
want to use the included luapatch program with BizHawk, you should set the
EMUDIR environment variable to the path to your BizHawk installation.
Binary packages are available, see https://github.com/PracticeROM/packages.
Packages are built from the n64-ultra branch and target mips64-ultra-elf
- If you're on Windows, download and install MSYS2 from
here. Open a
MSYS2 MinGW 64-bitshell. - Clone the repository and navigate into it by running
git clone https://github.com/glankk/n64 && cd n64. - Optionally, have the included script try to install the prerequisite
packages automatically by running
./install_deps. You'll need root privileges for this. - Configure the package with
./configure --prefix=/opt/n64. You may use another installation prefix if you wish. To enable Wii VC compatibility, append--enable-vcto the configure command. To produce portable Windows executables (that don't need additional dynamic libraries) under MSYS2, append--enable-static-executablesto the configure command. - Install the GNU Toolchain for MIPS by running
make toolchain-all && make toolchain-install. - Compile and install the included programs by running
make && make install. - Install the included headers and libraries by running
make install-sys. - The n64 tools and MIPS toolchain will have been installed to
/opt/n64(or the prefix you chose). Add/opt/n64/binto yourPATHvariable (oryour-prefix/bin, usuallyC:\msys64\opt\n64\binon Windows). If you're using MSYS2, also add the path to the directory containing themakeprogram (typicallyC:\msys64\usr\bin).
