Hacking Others Castlevania 64 - Wii U Inject

[JohnnyOak]

Hey there,

I've been researching how to, followed tutorials and what not, edited the ROM using an hex editor, but no matter what I do, the game loads to a blank screen.
Now, I assume I'm doing something wrong, but I cannot understand what. I suspect that I'm not editing the hex code correctly.

Can someone please help me? I've been in trial and error mode for about a week.

not a fix but perhaps use a n64 emualtor instead

well does your rom have the same exact name of the ini you are editing?

did you edit the ini also instead of just hex editing the title id?

no wii n64 emulator runs this game, it runs preety well injected.

no wii n64 emulator runs this game, it runs preety well injected.

I'd love to play this game again. Haven't played it since I was a kid. Even overclocking won't run Castlevania in an emulator?

lol no becuase the game only runs in intrepreter mode and even overclock makes it not be full speed but like i said it works preety well if you do a correct wiiu vc inject on n64 you just need to follow the steps.

1 get a base rom the last one f zero x is probably the best overall one for every inject
2 use an hex editor like hxd and edit the title id to be like castlevania legacy of darkness title id
3 modify the fzero-x ini and place the correct ini settings which should be this ones
;DRACULA MOKUSHIROKU2 US
[RomOption]
;BackupType 0 Auto 1 SRAM 2 Flash 3 EEPROM
BackupType = 3
;BackupSize 2048 16K 4K 512
BackupSize = 2048
TrueBoot = 0
UseTimer = 0
RetraceByVsync = 1
MemPak = 1

4- repack it and install it with wup installer
5- profit

I've been using the Majora's Mask ROM, I've been editing.
I've edited the hex of the Castlevania ROM itself to match what Legacy of Darkness has as the title and 4 character Id.
I used the Legacy of Darkness .ini file as is.
I've tried with more than one injector, but I'm currently using UWUVCI AIO, since that one seems to output the best results.

I think the main issue is this. I need to edit the hex of what into what exactly?

Nevermind! Just got it to work. Used F-Zero X like you said, edited F-Zero's ini and uploaded that.

By the way, do you happen to know how to inject Metal Gear 2 for the MSX?
