== Useful | == Usamune ROM == | ||
The [https://sites.google.com/view/supermario64/usamunepj/usamunerom Usamune ROM] is a SM64 practice ROM developed by atmpas and circumark. It has many features beneficial to practicing such as level reset, timers (x-cam, star grab, real time, misc., RTA), warping from level to level, built-in savestate functionality, and useful information that can be displayed on screen (lag, horizontal and vertical speed, dust frames, wall kick frames, and input display). This ROM makes it much easier and faster to practice specific stars and strategies, and is the de facto way to practice the game. | |||
