Saturn: Moon Edition

  • Saturn: Moon Edition is a cross-platform all-in-one machinima studio for Super Mario 64, based on Undervolt/Moon64.
  • In order to download, use or compile the editor, a prior copy of the game is required. This is to avoid including any copyrighted assets or material.
  • Detailed, extensive guides can be found on our wiki.

Features

- Completely revamped UI with dockable panels
- Machinima camera
  - A "free camera", can be frozen in place or moved with the joystick.
- Custom eye textures
  - Loaded externally as PNG files
  - Can be selected through a dropdown
- Color code editor
  - Uses the common *GameShark* format
  - Complete visual CC editor
  - Color presets save as a .gs file for later use
- Chroma Key Stage
  - Background is color-changeable to any RGB/Hex code
- Animation Player
  - Can play all 209 of Mario's in-game animations
  - Supports looping/first-person to move head
- Toggles for HUD, Mario's cap emblem, overall buttons, voices, head rotations, shadows, dust particles and more
- Switch between cap states (on/off/wing) and hand poses (victory/open/holding hat/etc.)
- Warp to any level from the menu
- Custom textures (& texture packs) support
  - All textures are 100% customizable
- Settings manager
  - All options from sm64ex and Moon64 (minus configuring controls, currently) carry over to the new UI
  - Option to disable music and Mario's voice for machinima purposes
  - Addons Menu, to switch priority/order of texture packs & more
- "Anti-aliasing" (not really, just clever internal resolution scaling, works better with cross-platform)
- "Jabo Mode", a toggle to recreate the infamous weird widescreen stretching, as seen in many Project64 graphics plugins.
- "Wireframe Mode", it just looks really cool...

... And more to come!

Installation

To download Moon Edition, follow these instructions:

  • Install the latest release from the releases page.
  • Head to the Moon64 Addons website and download the Moon64 Default Addon. You will need a vanilla 8 MB ROM to continue (this is to avoid including any copyrighted assets).
  • Place the moon64.bit file into addons/, next to the saturn/ folder (but not in). Upon launching the game for the first time, it may take a second to extract assets.
  • Optionally, get a 120 star savefile and place in %appdata%/SaturnME (or .local/share/SaturnME on Linux).

Compiling from Source

  • For building instructions, please refer to the wiki.
