Tried out alt64 1.8.23 for the first time today; Editing the config .ini file (alt64.ini) made some saves work that were created by the ED64P OS. All save types worked with the exception of .eep files. (SRA and FLA both loaded fine)
It seems like alt64 creates eep files that are too big, saving 4kbit eep files as 4kbyte, and 16kbit eep files as 16kbyte; when the ED64P OS only makes 4kbit and 16kbit eep files (512byte - 2048bytes max, respectively.)
With alt64, I tested SM64 (4kbyte .eep was created) and Neon Genesis Evangelion (16kbyte .eep was created), and neither of the previous .eep saves I had from the ED64P OS loaded because they were both smaller than the file size alt64 makes.
Is there some kind of save converter or configuration to fix .eep file loading? or is there no way to load .eep saves with the default file size from ED64P OS and PJ64 on alt64? Only one other user on the ed64 forums has brought up this issue (https://krikzz.com/forum/index.php?topic=816.msg12595#msg12595)
(Edit: PJ64 is able to load the large save files created by alt64 and save over them while maintaining the larger 4kbyte-16kbyte file size. This leads me to believe save conversion is possible - possibly by comparing saves in hex editor.
Are there any custom branches of alt64 that fix this issue? the size difference between kbit and kbyte is massive for n64 eeprom; and normal sized eeprom files dont load in alt64)
