Everdrive 64 Compatibility

[nuu]

It's a great idea to have an incompatibility list, and it might be an idea if you divided the list into two parts - one part for games that will run but only under special circumstances (i.e. Jet Force Gemini would be in this list, with the note that only the versions with the file names "Jet Force Gemini (E) (M4) [f1].z64" or "Jet Force Gemini (U) [f1].z64" work on the Everdrive 64, the other versions either crash upon loading, or don't let you run or jump), and one part of the list for games that at the moment cannot be run on the Everdrive 64 under any circumstances (such as Doubutsu no Mori). The 'Doesn't (yet) work" category should ideally contain an entry saying that "At present no Super Mario 64 hack will work on the N64.

Thanks for your suggestions. I could divide the list in two, but since the list is so short I don't see much point in it. You can see that the first three games are the partly working ones and the rest would need some hardware mod to work, so it's already partly divided. I moved up Dezaemon 3D in the list a bit since I think it's fixable (assuming it's broken in the first place). So now the last three entries are only carts with special hardware while the first four are the fixable ones.

I've already added that they need to be patched and what roms in the goodset has such patches.

I'm not going to include hacks. This is an incompatibility list of all titles known to not be 100% supported. If a hack doesn't work, it's usually because it doesn't follow the rules of the N64, and that isn't limited to Super Mario 64 hacks. That said I added a note about this at the bottom of the list.

If I'm not mistaken, that game will work properly if you press Z to change the console region setting before running the game.

Here is a list of games that have a region check:

[cheaterdragon1]

I read this post by Krikzz in the Everdrive 64 Version 3.0 thread that got me thinking:

Sounds awsome Krikzz. Keep up the good work! Btw, what would be able to use the extra 64kb of rom memory? Potential homebrew?

It is not extra 64Kb, it means that actual max rom size for v2 is 64Mbyte minus 32Kb (if sram used), or 64Mbyte minus 128Kbyte (if flashram used). Whole 64Mbyte avaialble only for games with used eeprom or wihich have no save meory at all. V3 can use whole 64Mbyte of ROM memory with any type of saves

We have 3 Nintendo 64 games that are 64 MB: Conker's Bad Fur Day, Resident Evil 2, and Pokemon Stadium 2. Conker's Bad Fur Day uses EEP16K for saving though so it won't have any issues.

Resident Evil 2 saves with SRAM so the last 32 KB of the ROM get cut off. I took a look at the ROM in a hex editor and it seems the last 180 KB was all left blank by the developers so we have nothing to worry about with this game either.

Pokemon Stadium 2 on the other hand will get 128 KB cut off as it saves with FLASH. I took a look at the ROM and it seems only the last 72 KB are blank so we are losing a small piece of the ROM. This explains why the Pokemon images aren't working. It also explains why we were able to change the save-type to an incorrect one and then the Pokemon images would suddenly work again. Of course with an incorrect save-type selected you won't be able to save.

The solution is to convert the ROM to save some other way, EEP16K, or even SRAM is fine as it shouldn't cause any issues with only 32 KB missing. I wouldn't have any idea how to do that or even where to begin. It does look like Krikzz is going to have this game fixed for Everdrive Version 3.0, but I'd really like to see it working in our Version 2.0s.


Also regarding Battletanx not working, I dumped my copy of the game last night with the Z64. This new ROM worked just fine in emulator, but the Everdrive 64 won't play it. The trainer ROM definitely does work, but why? The Trainer simply added some cheat codes they didn't do any patching or fixing.

[Paulweeze]

Good findings Cheaterdragon1! Forgot that Pokemon Stadium 2 was 64mb as well. Too bad those old hackers of the n64 aint as prominatly in the scene, including the dudes who turned dk64 into sram. I think fixing pokemon would be hard due to it using the largest save type already (flash). One would have to find filler data in the save and rid of that to compress it to a smaller save type like epk16 or sram.

Good job finding out this Cheaterdragon1!

How is adding cheats any different from other kinds of patching or fixing though? I'd guess they added a trainer menu too.

[cheaterdragon1]

No problem guys. Looks like Krikzz says he can fix it here: http://krikzz.com/forum/index.php?topic=1583.msg17122#new

I hope by can he means will.

[nuu]

Thanks for making this a sticky.
I will try to keep it updated.

I found a problem with "Star Wars Episode I - Racer (U) [!].z64".
After a few races (3rd race from 2nd Championship), the game lost your vehicle upgrades.
The game still save your racing progression, but loses all your upgrades. 
.
But there's "A New Hope" , using the Rom named "Star Wars Episode I - Racer (U) [f1] (Save).z64"
Is a hacked Rom that use a modified saving type, and the game works flawless.

Wow, nice find!

Do you loose anything besides vehicle upgrades? I'm not familiar with how this game works.
Do you have to change the save type with this hack?

You expend money to upgrade your Pod Race, when the save corrupts you stay without money and without upgrades.
The game stuck because there's no way to recover your money, and you can't win new races without upgrades. 
The hacked Rom creates a working saving file at the first time, you don't need to worry about this.

[GBM]

Did anyone of you get "newly released" Pokemon Stadium v1.2 to work on ED64? Everytime I try to launch the game I get the BAD CRC error. What about you guys?

[saturnu]

you can try to fix the checksum on your computer

it seems like the cic6103 crc fixing might be broken :>
(have to be confirmed)
so if some 6103 romhacks are not working, you may want to use rn64crc.exe. ^^
