N64 USF Music Repository

Introducing the N64 USF Music Repository – a comprehensive collection of music from your favorite Nintendo 64 games.

N64 USF Player and Game Selection

To play N64 USF files on your computer, you need an USF player such as usfplay or usfmini. These programs can read Ultra 64 Sound Format (.usf) files, which contain the music from Nintendo 64 games. You can find USF files for games on usf.hcs64.com or in ROMs you download from the internet. Once you have the files, open the USF player and select the desired game from the list. Some USF players like usfplay require you to select the header file first. Once the game is selected, the music will start playing. The USF player will also display the name of the song and the instruments being used. Enjoy listening to the soundtracks of classic N64 games like Super Mario 64, Pilotwings 64, and Banjo-Kazooie.

Obtaining and Installing Current USF Decoder Version

To obtain and install the current version of the USF Decoder, follow these instructions:

1. Go to usf.hcs64.com and download the latest version of the USFlib program.
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded file to a folder on your computer.

4. Install the plugin according to the instructions provided by the website.
5. Once the plugin is installed, open your media player and add the folder containing the USFlib program to your library.
