Mario Party N64 board editor

PartyPlanner64 allows players to create and import customized boards into a Mario Party N64 ROM for playback in emulators or on real hardware.

Getting Started

PartyPlanner64 is web-based so installation is not needed. A running copy is hosted from this repository. Chrome and Firefox are the supported browsers for this project.

It is highly recommended to read this before creating a board. This documentation highlights some common mistakes made while using PartyPlanner64.

The wiki has additional information about the editor, as well as technical documentation on the game itself.

Limitations

A ROM is not required to create and edit boards with PartyPlanner64, however to play them you will need to open a Mario Party ROM file. Only the NTSC USA files are supported.

  • Mario Party (U).z64 ROM file (MD5 8BC2712139FBF0C56C8EA835802C52DC).
  • Mario Party 2 (U).z64 ROM file (MD5 04840612A35ECE222AFDB2DFBF926409).
  • Mario Party 3 (U).z64 ROM file (MD5 76A8BBC81BC2060EC99C9645867237CC).

ROMs that have been edited can also be re-opened.

ROM files must be ran with Expansion Pak on hardware, emulators must be configured to use 8MB RAM or the game will crash.

Emulators

These emulators are reported to work:

  • Project64 2.3
  • Mupen64plus
