EverDrive 64 / Re: Doom 64 Reverse Engineered

« on: November 18, 2020, 09:22 PM »

Now the source code is out for people to edit and make their own N64-compatible versions of Doom 64! Get it here: https://github.com/Erick194/DOOM64-RE

You can check out other posts on the release here:
Doomworld post: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/118196/
GEC Twitter: https://twitter.com/inc_gec/status/1328969154603397120

I will update the topic above to include the GitHub link.

Probably gonna port the project to my modern sdk for debian linux in a matter of days so ppl don't need a VM

EverDrive 64 / Re: NEON64 Emulator supports 2 players?

« on: October 19, 2020, 05:48 AM »

Hi all. First post here after just getting my X7. I know everyone says just get another console or pc that does nes emulation but I was just looking to have an original console that I can sit in front of like the old days.

My roms work fine but i have issues when i try 2 player game. The second controller doesn't work/respond at all. I have 3 Hyperkin Admiral wireless controllers and a wired original. I have tried all configurations and ports with wired vs wireless.

I have tried searching the forum and all over google.

I see that it should work via the NEON64 log but it isn't for me. https://hcs64.com/neon64log.html

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The log is quite old.

NEON64 has just been rewritten from scratch by the original author, I am not sure if he has implemented 2 player support yet, I will ask him

EverDrive 64 / Re: Force video mode

I guess I will just need to buy a PAL to NTSC video converter in the meantime if I want to avoid hours manually setting each PAL game to region free...

If you have NTSC hardware, why not just play the NTSC version? Unless you're trying to play pal-only games

I have to say, after spending more money on the official Everdrive X7 and coming from ED64P running altra64, I was expecting more. Pretty disappointed this is not an option flag that can be set on the main menu.

The ED64 OS was literally just rewritten, and altera is unofficial. Of course it's going to have features that the mainline OS may not have yet

Does this patch work on the smokemonster set?  Not working for me on the untouched rom on that set

I made this patch from the rom in the No Intro set

Incomplete (as in a large portion was precompiled) source code was leaked with SM64. Unfortunately while it was based off of Shindou, it is entirely in Japanese, including assets

I was able to get it to build for both Chinese and Japanese and can share if wanted

Please do! I don't see a problem with it being in Japanese.
But is the Japanese compiled ROM any different from the released ROM?

From what I can tell, no differences

Nice work!

There's still the Shindou version of Wave Race 64 if someone is looking for a hacking job (or we can wait for the source to leak again ). I don't think it has any new text. It's got some cool additions, including the possibility to save ghosts, in the form of a dolphin. I always play the Shindou version nowdays. Maybe there is some new text that tells you that you need a controller pak to save a dolphin or something.

Well here they are: https://files.catbox.moe/ebgmal.7z

Apply to an unedited Shindou rom

Thanks for this. Will the English version of the Shindou version that this patch produces be fully player completable on a real N64? I'd assume so, but when a commercial release of a (supposed) game port appears, there's always the suspicion that the 'port' rom might have been modified somehow to either make it more emulator compatible, or for the sake of making it look or move better than it could on it's original machine (in this case, the N64).

These play perfectly on N64, with saving and rumble intact

You mean that the leaked source is from the unreleased English version of the shindou revision, and you can create an English shindou by compiling it? If so, we can maybe expect a no-intro release of the compiled rom. Certain prototypes like Bound High for Virtual Boy only exists as a compilation of its leaked source code, and it's included in the no-intro set.

Well, the issue is that compiling isn't particularly uniform; it was made for the iQue SDK in mind, and the iQue SDK contains a N64 library that breaks rumble/saving/other functions on N64 hardware

This means that to target N64 you have to build the whole SDK from source code

Also, the "English Shindou" is really just the JP shindou with english text, the rumble texture is still japanese and the mario sound changes are still there

If it is allowed, i can post a .bps patch you can apply to JP shindou so you don't have to do all that work

Can confirm, the ROM the emulator uses for all regions is 1:1 shindou.

The iQue source that leaked was based off Shindou, however the source only had English support when Routefree got it to add Chinese.

So it is possible to compile a "English Shindou" from that source, however i am unsure of the legality of sharing a patch

This isn't really easy without good romhacking knowledge, it's not a one step process

If the emulator really is pushing its frames to screen via a software renderer, then I can see why it'd be an problem. I assumed it was simply treating its rendered frames like a texture on a quad or something, as it seemed to have no problems scaling up to 1.5x — no pauses or hitches from what I recall.

By CPU bound I meant that all emulation work was being done on CPU, and that the RSP chip was doing 0 work, therefore system resources would be extremely strained if rendering at 480

Tested this briefly with a couple games (Super Mario Land 2, Pokemon Red) and a GBC bios. The emulator itself works decently, but audio was buggy - one channel would consistently hold notes indefinitely, or even miss notes outright. This was on an Everdrive x7 with a JP N64.

Would it be possible to run the emulator at 640x480? I know it sounds like overkill, but it would allow for cleaner upscaling, potentially up to 3x (160x144 -> 480x432).

I'm not lambert, but 640x480 is a big memory/performance hog. And considering that this is all CPU-bound, I really don't think it would run well

EverDrive 64 / Re: ED64 X7 Firmware and ED64 v3

« on: September 11, 2020, 04:34 AM »

I have an ED64 v3 (and a v2.5). I understand that aside from the X7 auto-detecting region, the X7 and v3 are functionally the same, but run on different hardware. My only concern is future updates. When new firmware comes out for the X7, will a version be made for the v3, or am I on the final version now and need to get an X7 to keep up with future FW updates?

Well krikzz just added support for the v3/v2.5 in the x7's newest OS update today

6) OS will automatically boot autautoexec.v64 if such file found in ED64 folder ===> what is this and what does it do?

I presume this means that if there is a ROM named autoexec.v64 in the ED64 folder in sd card it will be booted automatically when you turn on the ED64

5) System files structure changed  ===> same here, no idea of the benefit?

He means that the folder structure in the ED64 folder was changed:
2.x OS:

3.x OS:
