Rom Hack Compatibility Thread 2.0 (Closed)

[The Renegadist]

     Hello and welcome back to the Rom Hack Compatibility Thread! This is the second thread, I've decided to reboot it as now I have a game plan that not only works around the character limitation but still looks nice and remains native to these forums without the need to use a 3rd party website. The purpose of this thread is to test and document which ROM hacks work on a real N64 console via an EverDrive 64 and which ones don't. This thread will attempt to cover every single ROM hack that exists for the N64 so that people can hop on and easily figure out which hacks will work without going through the process of testing each and everyone one, I'm doing that for you! With this list you will see which ones do or don't work, which ones have issues and if they do have issues you will see what the problem(s) are per ROM. Keep in mind that because this is a solo project I can't even begin to cover everything at once, if you find a problem that I missed or have information I don't have please feel free to let me know below and I'll add your finding to the list until I can test it myself. This thread is still highly a work in progress and work will be continued over time, any day that I make changes, no matter how small, will be noted both below in the change log and in the "Updated on" section in the title. Also keep in mind that this thread was created with the PC in mind so some elements of the web page me be a little off on mobile, mostly the banners. With all that said I hope people can use this as a tool to enhance their ED64 experience and will continue to do so for the entire existence of the ED64. Thanks and happy hacking!

Information and Specs:

Console: Launch Day NUS-001
Region: NTSC/USA
Everdrive Version: Version 3
Everdrive OS: 2.12
Everdrive OS Mods: None
SD Card Brand: Sandisk
SD Card Model: Ultra Plus SDHC/SDXC
SD Card Size: 16GB

Notes:
-This is all done and tested on an NTSC console with an NTSC television. This thread should work for both NSTC and PAL consoles alike but this needs to be confirmed. This should also work for previous ED64 versions but this too needs to be confirmed.
-Some Goldeneye hacks require a byteswapped .z64 file instead of the standard .n64 file to work without crashing, this only applies to IPS patches as XDELTA patches work fine either way.
-All Goldeneye hacks are tested without the "No AA" patch to avoid confusion and make things simpler. This patch removes the Anti-Aliasing in Goldeneye which improves performance on real consoles, expect performance to be better with this patch applied for all hacks.
-All hacks are tested with English/US patches, patches of any other language/Console will not be tested. It is to be expected that if US patches work then the rest will follow.
-Only the most updated SM64 hacks will be tested by version number, this doesn't include demos, multiplayer patches, or other patches that branch off of the main patch with edits done to them.
-All SM64 hacks that have a special ED64 patch will be tested only, no need to test any other patches or edits for the ROM hack if there's one made specially for the ED64. If the ED64 patch works and the others don't then the hack will still get a "playable" rating.
-Any SM64 hacks with [CaS] stands for "Crashes after Start, essentially the hack crashing after pressing start on the Mario head screen. This was done after I hit the character limit again.

Hey guys, We're back up and running! So why a "2.0" thread you ask? The problem with the last thread was hitting the character limit time and time again, Krikzz raised the limit a good amount a couple times but there's only so far it can go before it's too much. Once the limit was here to stay it was either close the thread as I did for awhile or relocate to a 3rd party website to continue the project and put the link in the thread. I thought neither of those would work so I came up with the idea of splitting each game into its own post, I had sort of done this before by making the intro and changelog into their own posts but not with the games.

Now, every game has its own post which means the limit is much much farther away then before though I will eventually hit it again with the Super Mario 64 hacks. When that happens I will drop a link to a 3rd party site in the SM64 post where I'll list every unplayable ROM and I'll list all the playable ROMs here on the forums, we are a ways off but it is bound to happen some time. Anyhow, with the new thread we have new banner for each game, new banners for Solo and Multi hacks (Special thanks to Carnivorous for the poses) , more ROMs tested as of this post, and updated descriptions. I've also future proofed this thread by making plenty of reserved posts for any new games that enter the hacking scene so we're set all the way around.

Bottom line, I'm back to working on this without anything to stop me now other then real life getting in the way.

Important: If you are a part of the Super Mario 64 modding scene, please post this thread on whatever forums are used. We need to spread awareness about the amount of ROMs that are unplayable on the ED64 in the hopes of getting them fixed up to play on console + making sure new ones are playable down the line. Thanks!


With all that said, please feel free to post below and thanks for sticking with me on this project!

Bump. Now that the holidays are over I will be continuing work on this very soon!

I'd like to make a Mario 64 game or something, but I would probably need some ppl to help with doing stuff. Plus, I don't have a windows machine.

Where did you get these two hacks?

the redux - https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewthread&t=92735&page=1&pid=1461021#p1461021

the plant rom I could only find on some rom-sites by searching google

Well, I'm mainly testing ROMs from sources that I can directly link to on the first post of the thread, for instance Goldeneye Vault which houses EVERYTHING GE and PD and SM64 hacks. However, I'd say that SMWCentral is a valid source and will check their website out for any more SM64 hacks. In the meantime, I will add both of your findings to the list!

Bump.

All Perfect Dark Solo hacks have been fixed and tested on console!

[supershadow64ds]

Since the release of the Star Rod tools (link below), Paper Mario hacks are going to become a thing now. The first major hack, Paper Mario Pro Mode, sadly doesn't work. At least, partially. You can play up to the first encounter with Bowser, but upon entering battle, the game promptly crashes.

[The Renegadist]

Wow, always cool to see more hacking tools become available for some of our favorite games. I have been taking a break from this but I'd like to come back very soon and start focusing on the hacks that aren't as well known like BK, LOZOOT, MK64, and now PM.

Unfortunately I'm only taking entries that are available to the public which can be downloaded without an account and it seems that Oragami64 requires one. Unless this is the thread for the tool rather than the actual hack.
