Mario Builder 64 is a level editor realized fully in Super Mario 64 itself, which should run on real hardware I think. It is intuitive to use and the community created ton of custom levels. I think a custom software is needed to handle the community stuff, but the Romhack itself is playable on an emulator if you want test building your own levels.
The download page for the patch file (remember its not a Rom, its just a patch) got hit by a DMCA. Usually Nintendo does not do that with Romhacks. Sure the patch files itself are not Rom files, but they might contain data that is copyrighted. That’s why Nintendo might be annoyed by this.
Get your patch file copies (.bps format) and archive it if you care.
