I'll fix the exit issue from Rice, I'd never noticed that. Also, I managed to get a bunch more from mupen64plus that I'd missed and I think things are looking better now around interrupt handling. The next release should have BattleTanx working again, Tarzan not freezing and Hydro Thunder playing. Not quite perfect but that obvious bugs I put into 1.4.6 should be fixed.

There's still some problematic titles like Shadows of the Empire just soft locking as well as the menus in Taz Express being horribly slow, they seem very picky on timing, I'll have to investigate further.

Is there anything that can be done about KI Gold's broken sky graphics? I think KI Gold is one of N64's best fighting games (not hard when there's only like 4 lol) and it would be a dream to see it running well on the Wii

I'm very pleased to have updated some of the listings in the compatibility list wiki. I never thought N64 emulation on Wii would come this far.

This list is pretty outdated tbh, I think i'll also make some changes to it too later. It lists Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 as not working although on this latest version of Wii64 Rice, and I imagine earlier versions it works just fine. It works fine in Not64 too, I'm using an english translation patch called freem edition. Not64 has some missing 2D screens whereas Wii64 Rice displays everything making it the better way to play this game.

Yeah, I think I can probably just have another go at this, it's the same thing that GoldenEye does with its sky. I'll revisit it at some point and make it work properly.
 
Just tried the newest version of Rice and it now properly restarts. I guess I never mentioned that it failed to restart if you didn't load a ROM. I didn't think that was a destination to make. Thanks for all of your hard work emu_kidid!

Looking at Rice now, I see how some games need to be set at certain Clock CPU. Is there a way that we can save these in the rice ini file? And does the regular Wii64 work the same way?

you can always set cpu clock after loading the rom, the default is 2 but some games need 3 like both battletankx games and some need 1 like hydro thunder.

This is incredible. You look away for a moment, and @emu_kidid has already fixed a bunch of games for you. Thank you so much; it’s been a while since I’ve used the Nintendo 64 emulator as much as I have these past few days, trying out games.

If I may make a suggestion, it would be nice if the ROM folders for Rice and Gln had different names, since they also use different boot.dol files. That way, when you launch one of them, you’d only see a list of the games that work perfectly with each one, and everything would be more organized.

but that means to try out games you would need double the memory card space and 2 whole romsets ... doesnt seem worth it to me, also one game might be fixed on gl and you wouldnt try it because it already worked on rice or vice versa so you wouldnt know if there was any progress or regressions.

I understand what you're saying. My suggestion is geared more toward the casual user who wants to keep their ultimate playable list organized.

For example, some people use Not64 for Gln and Wii 64 for Rice so everything isn't mixed together.

If it's for testing romsets, you're right about what you said. It's really not a problem. Anyone who wants it separate can easily edit it with a hex editor.
