Short answer: Not officially. Nintendo has never released Super Mario 64 on any Sony console.
Long answer: Yes—thanks to the homebrew community. In 2020, a group of reverse-engineers completed the Super Mario 64 PC Port. They decompiled the original N64 source code (legally, via clean-room methods) into C. This allowed the game to be compiled for Windows, Linux, and—crucially—consoles like the PS Vita, Switch, and PS4.
Following that, developers on forums like GBAtemp and Reddit began distributing unofficial Super Mario 64 PS4 PKG files. These are not emulated (no lag, no save-state issues). They are native ports running directly on the PS4’s hardware, often with:
Several versions exist, including the popular "SM64 Render96" PKG, which replaces original low-poly models with high-definition fan-made assets. super mario 64 ps4 pkg
Super Mario 3D All-Stars (2020) includes a flawless emulated version of Super Mario 64. While the collection is no longer sold on the eShop, physical copies are widely available.

Years ago, developers reverse-engineered the Super Mario 64 source code. This led to the creation of open-source ports of the game that could run on various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Android. Short answer: Not officially
| Aspect | Details | |--------|---------| | Legal | Distributing a PKG containing Nintendo’s copyrighted assets is illegal. Creating a PKG for personal use from your own dumped copy exists in a gray area but violates Nintendo’s EULA. | | Console Ban | Jailbroken PS4s going online can be permanently banned by Sony from PSN. | | Stability | Unofficial ports may have glitches, crashes, or poor performance. | | Security | Downloading pre-made PKGs from unknown sites risks malware or bricked consoles. |
Some cloud services (now rebranded as PlayStation Plus Premium) offer classic games, but Super Mario 64 is never included. This is a dead end.
Q: Will this work on PS5? Some PS4 PKG files run on jailbroken PS5s via backward compatibility, but a native PS5 version does not exist. Most users stick to PS4. Super Mario 3D All-Stars (2020) includes a flawless
Q: Can I earn trophies? No. The Super Mario 64 PS4 PKG does not include trophy support. However, some modders have created custom trophy patches (unofficial, install separately).
Q: Is there local co-op? A few experimental PKG builds include the “Multiplayer” mod from the PC port, allowing two players (one controls Luigi). It’s buggy but fun.
Q: Why can’t I find the download link? We do not host copyrighted files. Search for "SM64 PS4 PKG Reddit" or check the PS4 Homebrew Discord—links change weekly due to takedowns.
