Hot reloading
This guide explains how to have Mamar communicate with Project64 to play songs without recompiling the game.
Copy or symlink papermario-hot-reload.js to C:\Program Files (x86)\Project64 2.3\Scripts\papermario-hot-reload.js (if you're using a portable build of Project64, you need to find where it is extracted). You may need to create the Scripts directory.
Make sure Project64 is using the interpreter core (Options - Advanced - Always use interpreter core).
Make sure Mamar is running.
In Project64, open Paper Mario (U), then go to Debugger - Scripts... and double-click on papermario-hot-reload.js. If you get a pop-up saying "readex error," it means it is unable to connect to Mamar.
In Mamar, open your song of choice. Press Play to have it play in-game.
If, for any reason, you restart Mamar or Project64, you'll need to re-run both the Project64 script by double-clicking it in Debugger - Scripts... again and Mamar. (Opening a new ROM in Project64 doesn't reset the connection, only closing the entire program.)
