Homebrew CaVE Database Manager - A SNES, NES, N64, Genesis Switch Online modding App

[DarkAkuma]

I have a question regarding region compatibility. My NES and SNES databases work just fine, so I think this is limited to N64 and SMD only.

N64: All of my ROMs are the European versions. The games I have added all work with (what I assume to be US) meta packs, except for Diddy Kong Racing. The compatibility list mentions borked textures which is what I’m seeing but it’s really bad. Have I done something wrong here or is that just how it is?

SMD: Again, all of my ROMs are European. Some boot, some don’t. Those that don’t display an error message saying they are only intended for PAL systems. Guessing this is a simple fix if I replace the games that don’t work with US versions of the ROMs?

Then there’s Golden Axe 3. Since there isn’t a ROM for it that isn’t Japan native, I get a similar error message (something like “cannot be used on a US system”). Is the only way to get this to work to create a new Database for the Japanese version of the N64 NSO app?

I tend to personally focus on US games compatibility. So I cant speak for any of the PAL dtz's.

With Genesis/Mega Drive, you need to select the appropriate Machine Country option in the Advanced Options column in CaVE. It defaults to US. I dont know much about Genesis games to parse the headers and automatically set that. I was thinking about it, but I just wanted to get CaVE posted publicly.

All makes sense, thank you. Will test later.

As i said, it looks like US meta packs are compatible with EU ROMs. I have the graphical glitches that are mentioned in the compatibility list for DKR, just wanted to check that i hadn't done anything wrong. Doesn't look like it.

If you need a beta tester for US meta packs on EU ROMs for the sake of a complete compatibility list - i'm more than happy to help.

@potlick Your dtz is literally just my banjo kazooie dtz, renamed. I posted a note for the 3 mentioned games that the dtz works, but i wont do any more without a proper hand made and tested dtz for those games. Thank you for the information though. =)

Thank you Dark, this is awesome. Going to wait a bit more so a bit more games get there too, but this is just awesome. Take it from a retro videogamer who values all your effort to bring these ones to the table. Congrats, man.

The main focus seems to be on usa set. It's going to take time as each game needs to be combed through.

If requests are appropriate, I would love for someone to look into the SM64 OoT romhack by Kaze Emanuar. The only help I can offer is that it requires 8mb of memory vs the 4 that vanilla SM64 uses
