WidescreenHigh Frame RateMod Support
PaperBoat is a native PC port of Paper Mario from Harbour Masters, released in September 2026. It is built from the Paper Mario decompilation.
It adds widescreen, higher resolutions and frame rates, a settings menu, custom controls and support for mods.
The download contains no Nintendo data. It asks for a ROM of the US version of the game, dumped from your own copy.
