PROJECT OVERVIEW
What this effort is rebuilding
Paper Mario is tracked as a matching decompilation. That approach reconstructs readable source while comparing the rebuilt output with the original Nintendo 64 program. A reported percentage should be read as the project’s own matching metric—not as a promise that every asset, tool, or gameplay system has been documented.
READING THE SIGNAL
What the progress figure means
The currently tracked figure is 96.1%. Decomp 720 treats that as a snapshot from the project’s published metric. Different repositories count functions, bytes, objects, or translation units, so percentages should not be compared as if every project measures the same thing.
PRESERVATION CONTEXT
Why this project is worth following
This work helps document how a Nintendo 64 title was structured and built. Following the project can expose platform-specific techniques, compiler behavior, file formats, and engine decisions that are otherwise difficult to study. The repository currently identifies C as its primary language context.
QUICK ANSWERS
About Paper Mario
Is this an official release?
No. Decomp 720 tracks an independent community project maintained by pmret. The original game and its assets remain the property of their respective rights holders.
Does the repository include the game?
Usually not. Reverse-engineering projects commonly require contributors or users to supply legally obtained game data. Check the repository’s own setup instructions before building anything.
How does Decomp 720 verify updates?
This page checks the linked public repository no more than once per day. It only replaces the tracked percentage when a clearly labeled, machine-readable or README progress figure is available.
