Online Smash help for a noob

[gatekeep3r]

So I've been combing through the forums trying to find out how to play smash 64 online. From what I understand I need to download Project 64 and then a Smash 64 ROM. This is where the guides have been losing me. What is a ROM and where do I find one? I'm not a computer science guy and don't have experience with emulators. Any advice would be helpful

To skip over all the details, the ROM is basically the game file the emulator loads. If you google "ssb64 rom", the first link should give you the correct rom. Cnce You download it, place it in a folder because you need the emulator to search for ROMs in a specific folder.

Think of the ROM as your video game cartridge and the emulator is the console.

Don't ask for a 'rom' here. Roms are illegal.

You need Project64k, with a "k" at the end, not Project64, you can google it too

the rom is the gamefile, this gamefile is only LEGAL if you have the game cartridge in your hands right now, if you don't then downloading the game ROM is ilegal.
it works the same way as the PS BIOS scph1001.bin,

Was it too hard to google Super Smash Bros 64 Rom? Guess so.

LOL do you want the player base to grow or not?

If you mean by using illegal roms and playing with keyboards/other joysticks than n64 (cheating), then absolutely not.

Where did you get your rom from?

Idk about you, but I dumped my own cartridge like everybody else did to play online. Perfectly legal, ty.

I asked Sakurai personally for a rom and he mailed one to me.

So if we've gotten that far, what's next? The kaillera client has no active download location so I had to download AQZ netplay which I have installed but have never been able to connect to a server. Are servers only 'up' during active competitions and stuff?

Get mupen and you can aqz via hamachi.

AQZ like P2P requires port forwarding or using hamachi, and you have to be on the same exact emulator with same save data as each other to play AQZ.

What do you mean kaillera client has no active download location? I don't see how you've went this long without figuring out how to use kaillera.

Google pj64k and the first link has all the information about kaillera and how to use pj64k and how it works. That blogspot site is legit and has been up for years.
