some rom patches for a few "unplayable" N64 games on Wii.
Knife Edge: Nose Gunner (USA) - original patch from
https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-core/issues/930#issuecomment-1960105283
tested with Not64 (glN64). menus still too fast
but at least the gameplay speed is normal (about 20 FPS), making it playable.
note: if you're playing on Wii, set CPU Clock Divider to 2 to reduce slowdowns during the text cutscenes.
apply this patch to this rom:
ROM name: Knife Edge - Nose Gunner (USA).z64
CRC32: 255EE1DD
Top Gear Hyper-Bike (USA) - patch based on
https://github.com/Klozz/Daedalusx64/blob/master/Daedalus.cht#L4926
tested with Not64 (glN64). at least makes the game bootable. However the game has some weird random texture issues in the race tracks so you could get confused while gameplay. Technically playable but not fun to look at.
don't try to play this in Wii64 Rice, it won't boot. (maybe incomplete Rice GFX emulation?)
apply this patch to this rom:
ROM name: Top Gear Hyper-Bike (USA).z64
CRC32: 6EEBC26A
Top Gear Overdrive (USA) - patch based on
https://github.com/Klozz/Daedalusx64/blob/master/Daedalus.cht#L4956
Not64 has some issues in the menus, but in-game is fine.
best way to play this is using Wii64 Rice, almost perfect GFX.
first boot the patched rom, then load another rom to save the entry in RiceVideoLinux.ini, then edit said file (RiceVideoLinux.ini) and add the following config to solve the graphical issues:
Code:
AccurateTextureMapping=2
NormalColorCombiner=1
UseCIWidthAndRatio=1
AlternativeTxtSizeMethod=1
ForceScreenClear=1
apply this patch to this rom:
ROM name: Top Gear Overdrive (USA).z64
CRC32: F3E0FF21
you'll need to use a patcher such
Floating IPS or
RomPatcher.js.
the Top Gear patches were made with the N64 GameShark Code Injector v4.4.2 by Triclon. i'll also attach it there. It needs Python 3 to run.
(ps: hopefully
@pedro702 sees this)
