Sm64ex-coop is amazing! I never got far in super mario 64, the camera gave me headaches. I did know it was a revolutionary game for it's time though.

With sm64ex-coop, you can enable free look with the camera, and if you set it up right it feels just like the camera in many modern games. There are hi-res texture packs (Render96) available that also look amazing. And finally, they added a bunch of mods and features, one major one being the ability to play multiplayer.

Oh yeah, and it's cross-platform, runs on a whole bunch of different devices. I highly recommend checking it out, it's sooo much better than anything you'll get from an emulator.

I suspect it was my age when I first played it but when I play it now I don't feel the camera pain. I know that's the biggest complaint but what exactly is the pain? is it hard to articulate exactly other than it feels like a lack of control?

I was another person who suffered from motion sickness trying to play the original Super Mario 64.

I wish I could tell you what it was - I have played everything under the sun, including VR (in which I was also motion sick), and the closest thing I could come up with is the low FOV combined with the automatic movement of the camera.

I think it's similar for people who get car sick as a passenger, but not a driver.
