Mario no Photopi is a creativity video game released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998 exclusively in Japan. The game's cartridge has two SmartMedia card slots in the top to import digital photos and other graphics. Pictures created in the game can be saved to the memory card and would work with any digital printing display located in many malls and large scale stores. The cards could even be sent away like any other film processing. The game is compatible with the N64 mouse, which came with Mario Artist: Paint Studio. Even in Japan, the game is widely unheard of, making it a very popular game amongst collectors, and the fact that it is the only game to use the Smart Media-ready cartridge makes it that much more sought after. The unique cartridge has a Model Number of NUS-023. To date, it is known to have had three Smart Media cards that were specially made for it in connection with video game themes; Sylvanian Families characters from the toy line, Bomberman, and Yoshi. |
There are two components for playing a n64 Mario no Photopi rom on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the n64 OS and software.
The second component is the Mario no Photopi rom itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest Mupen – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading Mupen, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the mupen64.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play Mario no Photopi rom. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to Mupen and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
