The change of header doesn't work AFAIK.
I can relate that changing header did help for some games.
That's what I trird to do with pedro702 months ago.
Yeah the roms do load from this screen, they just need to be named differently and have an accompanying ini. (And they need to be working: I can't get USA ver GE to load at all with JAP header)
@the_randomizer its literally putting more than 1 file in the ROM folder within the N64 VC file structure that triggers this.
Obviously snes is different so I would imagine there is a different way to call a similar menu.
I haven't tested any other VC types (NES/DS etc) yet, but I have today off to figure it out
@GeneraLight i want to play around with APS patched N64 roms too, removing blur filters, adding scan lines, etc. Hopefully get something working with just rom mods: without even touching configurations on Wii u.
yeah i had a play around trying to get the menu to work with no luck, iirc it will only boot the first game in the list and anything else would just crash, its a shame as i found the same menu in the 3DS VC games and it actually mostly worked over there, except you had to exit out to choose a new game as there was also no way to bring the menu back up once you launch a gameOk made some progress!
You do not need to name your games with this weird convention, it seems virtually anything works as long as its name matches to the configuration file.
(the extension doesnt even need to be "*.443")
You can now (technically) have 1 host rom with a generic META folder which acts as a forwarder to the games that can be injected into it so for example:
I have MG640U.443 (mario gold 64 USA), PD640U.443 and GE640J.443 (Goldeneye JAP) in the CONTENT/ROM folder and MG640U.443.ini (with the original config for MG64 intact within) PD640U.443.ini (with perfect dark modified ini) and GE640J.443.ini (with modified MG64 ini to get GE booting) in the CONTENT/CONFIG folder.
Having multiple roms in there triggers multi menu, allows me to select either rom by using left stick to choose, A to select rom, hit YES to load rom, the rom you selected will now load. (this menu looks like it uses the header to extract the rom name too as its not using the titleID6 of the file or the ini)
pictures to come
I have tried with each, and they do all work they're just VERY unstable!
Even the ZR > ZL in game manual works just the same for mario golf, but obviously doesnt work for goldeneye however I would imagine editing the
PDFURL = "http://<yourhostingwebsite>/goldeneyemanual.pdf" in the game ini file would link it up to whatever PDF you want as its literally just a web link!
Hitting ZR and then reset = just resets the selected rom, doesn't go back to multi menu......
What would be great is figuring out how to evoke the multi menu from within game! There has to be a button combo or something to get back to select a new rom, without having to exit the entire thing with the home button..............
Going to try mess with this too....Code:[Keymap] A = "A" B = "B" X = "" Y = "" START = "START" SELECT = "SELECT" ;For debug menu L = "L" R = "R" ZL = "Z" ZR = "MENU" LEFT = "LEFT" RIGHT = "RIGHT" UP = "UP" DOWN = "DOWN" LSTICKPUSH = "LSTICKPUSH" ;Left stick push down. RSTICKPUSH = "RSTICKPUSH" ;Right stick push down. LSTICK = "3DSTICK" RSTICK = "C_UNIT" N64Stick = "Left" [KeymapLeft] A = "A" B = "B" X = "" Y = "" START = "START" SELECT = "SELECT" ;For debug menu L = "L" R = "R" ZL = "Z" ZR = "MENU" LEFT = "LEFT" RIGHT = "RIGHT" UP = "UP" DOWN = "DOWN" LSTICKPUSH = "LSTICKPUSH" ;Left stick push down. RSTICKPUSH = "RSTICKPUSH" ;Right stick push down. LSTICK = "C_UNIT" RSTICK = "3DSTICK" N64Stick = "Right" [KeymapRight] A = "A" B = "B" X = "" Y = "" START = "START" SELECT = "SELECT" ;For debug menu L = "L" R = "R" ZL = "Z" ZR = "MENU" LEFT = "LEFT" RIGHT = "RIGHT" UP = "UP" DOWN = "DOWN" LSTICKPUSH = "LSTICKPUSH" ;Left stick push down. RSTICKPUSH = "RSTICKPUSH" ;Right stick push down. LSTICK = "3DSTICK" RSTICK = "C_UNIT" N64Stick = "Left"
One last note: CONTENT/DATA-SYNC/IMAGES/REF/vessel_vcmenu_graphicresource_main_ref.png looks interesting too (notice the bottom right of image) for multiplayer?
EDIT: lol now only mario golf will boot.... odd.....
CONCLUSION:
This could be useful, its unstable as hell, and its pretty useless right now IMHO.
Perhaps someone else with more skill thank me can make something of this as it looks like it was an incredibly useful debug tool!
oh, doesnt that look familiar
PS the rom menu doesnt work btw,you just get a dsi error on selecting a game
I have Phantom Hourglass
