Sharing your mod

You share a mod as a patch: a file that holds only the differences between your mod and the original game. Players apply it to their own copy of Paper Mario, so you share your work without sharing the game itself.

Exporting a patch

  1. Select Mod > Export Patch....
  2. Choose where to save the patch. It's named after your mod's folder, such as my-mod.bps.
  3. Select Export.

Publishing on Star Haven

Star Haven hosts mods for players to find and download. To publish yours, sign in to Star Haven and open Share a mod. Fill in the title, the game, and a short description, select Upload… and choose your .bps patch, then select Publish.

Sending the patch to players

You can also send players the .bps file yourself. To play it, they apply it to a Paper Mario (US) ROM in .z64 format, then load the patched ROM in an emulator or on a flashcart. Playing mods walks them through it.
