What is not included

This repository does not include:

• A Mario Kart 64 ROM
• ROM-derived generated assets
• A prebuilt XEX
• An Xbox 360 ISO

You must provide your own US Mario Kart 64 ROM.

Place it here:

mk64-master\baserom.us.z64

Requirements

• Windows
• Python 3
• Xbox 360 SDK / Visual Studio Xbox 360 build tools
• Your own US Mario Kart 64 ROM
• An Xbox 360 capable of running homebrew XEX files or latest Xenia Netplay version with xbox live turned on

Easy prepare assets and build script

Make sure baserom.us.z64 is in mk64-master . baserom.us.z64 is just the US rom renamed

Right click PUBLIC_BUILD_XBOX360.ps1 then click run with powershell This will prepare assets and compile

Preparing the assets

Open PowerShell in the mk64-master folder and run:

py ".\PUBLIC_PREPARE_MK64_ASSETS.py"

The script verifies the ROM and creates the generated files that are intentionally left out of the public source release.

Building

From the folder containing MK64.sln, run:

& "$env:WINDIR\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe" ".\MK64.sln" /t:Build "/p:Configuration=Release" "/p:Platform=Xbox 360"

You can also use:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ".\PUBLIC_BUILD_XBOX360.ps1"

The compiled XEX will be placed in the Xbox 360 project's Release output folder.

Multiplayer

Make sure baserom.us.z64 is beside MK64.xex on the console.

Xbox LIVE Party-assisted join

1. Host chooses Host 2-4 Player Game.
2. Host presses X to open/start the Xbox LIVE Party flow and invites friends to the Party.
3. Guest joins the host's Xbox LIVE Party, launches MK360, chooses Join, then presses X to find the host from Party data.
4. The host starts the MK360 session normally after the players are connected.

Manual LAN / Internet join

Guests can still enter the host's LAN IPv4 address or public IPv4 address manually.

The multiplayer code uses UDP port:

6464

For Internet play, UDP 6464 must be able to reach the host console.

Player assignment is:

P1 = Host
P2 = Guest 1
P3 = Guest 2
P4 = Guest 3

Notes

This is a source release. ROM-derived files are intentionally generated locally from the user's own copy of the game.

If you are building from a fresh clone or extracted release, run the asset-preparation script before compiling.
