Using the PC Port Version

Needed

SM64pcBuilder2 https://sm64pc.info/sm64pcbuilder2/ (Follow usage instructions on page if it's your first time using SM64 PC)

Compiling and Playing

1. Open the SM64pcBuilder2 program, and under 'Source', select the 'sm64ex' Repo, and the 'nightly' Branch.
2. Under 'Options', select 'External Data' as a build option.
	2a. If needed, click the 'Savable Options' button, and make sure the version is set to 'American', 
        and the Renderer API to 'OpenGL'.
	2b. If needed, under 'Patches', make sure 'DynOS' is enabled.

Using Alternate Costumes on the PC Port Version

In the Super Spamton 64's PC Port version folder, along with the main files, there is a second folder of different costumes to choose for Spamton. To use them;
	1. Make sure you have already followed the above steps to at least step 6, to make sure all the main Super Spamton 64 files are in your sm64ex-nightly repo.
	2. Open the folder of the costume you want, and copy it's contents into your 'sm64ex-nightly' repo folder.
	3. Press the 'Compile' button in the SM64pcBuilder and wait for building to complete.
	4. If you want to change which costume you're using, make sure to copy the contents of the
	'0 - Default Spamton' folder to your 'sm64ex-nightly' repo before copying the contents of the costume you want, to ensure that it appears correctly.

Note about using CHEATER on the PC Port version

Using the CHEATER patch may break Super Spamton 64's endgame model swap (the game does not crash, the swap just doesn't happen). This is due to the 'Play As' cheat always setting Mario's model to it's default, breaking the swap. If you want to use CHEATER without breaking the model swap, do either of the following after first compliing your game with CHEATER enabled:
	A.
		1. In your 'sm64ex-nightly' repo, navigate to src\game and open mario_cheats.c (preferabbly in notepad++)
		2. Comment out all lines relevant to the 'Play As Cheat' (currently these lines 1319 to 1455).
	or B.
		1. Inside of Super Spamton 64's PC Port version folder, in the 'Extra Files' folder, copy the mario_cheats.c file into your 'sm64ex-nightly' repo, in src\game.

Of course, DELTARUNE, UNDERTALE, and Spamton all belong to Toby Fox.

Have fun, and thank you for playing!!!
