This project is looking for a C or C++ coder interested in making a couple scrollable menus that can have lots of items in it. As a method to display custom content does not exist. A tick/render system for custom menus already exists. So just someone willing to build out the menu.

If you’re having any trouble after reading through this README, feel free ask for help in the SpaghettiKart Support text channels. Please keep in mind that we do not condone piracy.

Quick Start

SpaghettiKart does not include any copyrighted assets. You are required to provide a supported copy of the game.

1. Verify your ROM dump

The US ROM is the only supported version. You can verify you have dumped a supported copy of the game by using the SHA-1 File Checksum Online at https://www.romhacking.net/hash/. The hash for a US ROM is SHA-1: 579C48E211AE952530FFC8738709F078D5DD215E.

2. Verify your ROM is in .z64 format

Your ROM needs to be in .z64 format. If it’s in .n64 format, use the following to convert it to a .z64: https://hack64.net/tools/swapper.php

2. Download SpaghettiKart from Releases

3. Generating the O2R from the ROM

Windows

Extract every file from the zip into a folder of your choosing.
Run “Spaghettify.exe” and select your US ROM.

Linux

Extract every file from the zip into a folder of your choosing.
Run “spaghetti.appimage” and select your US ROM. You may have to chmod +x the appimage via terminal.

Nintendo Switch

Run one of the PC releases to generate an mk64.o2r file. After launching the game on PC, you will be able to find these files in the same directory as Spaghettify.exe or spaghetti.appimage.
Copy the files to your sd card

4. Play!

Launch Spaghettify.exe Congratulations, you are now sailing with SpaghettiKart! Have fun!

Graphics Backends

Currently, there are three rendering APIs supported: DirectX11 (Windows), OpenGL (all platforms), and Metal (macOS). You can change which API to use in the Settings menu of the menubar, which requires a restart. If you’re having an issue with crashing, you can change the API in the spaghettify.cfg.json file by finding the line "Backend":{… and changing the id value to 3 and set the Name to OpenGL. DirectX 11 with id 2 is the default on Windows. Metal with id 4 is the default on macOS.

Custom Assets

Custom assets are packed in .o2r or stored .zip files. To use custom assets, place them in the mods folder.

If you’re interested in creating and/or packing your own custom asset .o2r files, check out the following tools:

Note that .otr archives are not supported in SpaghettiKart!
