 I want to request a port of a machinima software based on the Nintendo 64
 game, "Super Mario 64," called Saturn, as well as Saturn Studio.

 Machinima is a a "method of making animated film using software similar to
 that designed for making video and computer games." Here is an example:

 Saturn is a machinima software created by sm64rise, based on the port of
 Super Mario 64 PC (sm64pc). It allows to move the camera anywhere in the
 game, import custom animations, change the color of objects, and create
 keyframes, all in the software. This is a video from 2 years ago
 demonstrating some of the features in Saturn:

 Saturn Studio, created by Dominicentek, has a more "Source Filmmaker" type
 of menu, and it works the same way as Saturn, but has features like
 exporting the video straight from the software and editing the movements.

 There is a mac compile of Saturn, but it was from 2 years ago, and does
 not fully compile as I tested it.

 The thing that makes these two software important is the "dynos" folder.
 It is used to import eye texture and custom models. If someone wants to
 add a model or eye texture, they would need to find a way to access the
 folder.

 I would really love to use these on a macbook, because I find this
 software to be really helpful when making Super Mario 64 machinima videos.

 Saturn >> https://github.com/Llennpie/Saturn (download "saturn-
 legacy-231219-win64.zip," extract it and delete the exe inside it,
 download "update-linux64," then put it inside the extracted Saturn folder)

 Saturn Studio >> https://github.com/Dominicentek/Saturn

 If it asks for the rom, use this: https://archive.org/download/super-
 mario-64-usa/Super%20Mario%2064%20%28U%29%20%5B%21%5D.z64 and rename it to
 "sm64.z64" or whatever it prompts to do.
