What it is

New Super Paper Bros. is a native port of Super Paper Mario (Wii, 2007) made by statically recompiling the game's PowerPC code to C++ with WiiCompiled. There is no emulator: the game runs as a Windows or Linux program. It is not an emulator and it does not include any game assets: you must provide the data from your own copy.

According to the README it offers up to 4K, widescreen (16:9, fill, cinematic 2.39:1 or the original 4:3), frame interpolation up to 240 fps, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo gamepads with remapping, the Wii Remote pointer on the right stick or the mouse, drop-in mods and a launcher that installs the game from your disc image.

What you need

Your original copy: Your own image of the USA (R8PE01, revision 0) or European (R8PP01: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian) Super Paper Mario disc, in .iso, .ciso or .wbfs. The project does not include game data.
  • 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 with a DirectX 12 or Vulkan GPU.
  • 64-bit Linux from 2022 or newer (glibc 2.35) with Vulkan drivers; Linux support is new.

How to install and run it

  1. Download the latest release from the releases page (the "Go to the official project" button): the Windows zip or NewSuperPaperBros-linux.tar.gz.
  2. Open the launcher and provide your disc image: the launcher installs the game.
  3. Set the display, controllers and mods from the launcher itself.

Current limitations

  • Only the USA (revision 0) and European discs listed are supported.
  • Linux support is new.
  • The repository does not specify a license.

Port or emulator?

If your computer does not meet the requirements, you do not have the exact version the port asks for, or you prefer the classic route, you can play the original with a Nintendo Wii emulator: Dolphin and its install and setup guide.
