Editing the Project

In order to play/test the project, a prior copy of the game is required.

• Place a vanilla 8 MB Super Mario 64 US ROM into the repo's directory and rename it to baserom.us.z64. This is required to playtest the project in-editor.
• After building the Unity project, place another baserom.us.z64 next to the executable.
• Make sure to also copy sm64extend.exe and assets.txt into the Venus_Data/ folder of the Unity build - this makes ROM asset extraction beyond Mario possible.
