I'am using an 4-in-1 Memory pack with Rumblefunction from Gamester -
All 4 memory banks are working perfect in the games. But the Memory Manger of the ED64 Plus always detects it as a rumble pack...

That’s all really because I know works on games that need mempak but I would like to use it on other games and backup my saves.
You can't change the way a game saves. Your Majora's Mask save file is automatically backed up to your :\ED64P\SAVES folder so you can take the microSD card out of the cart and copy it over to your computer if you need to back it up.
Has anyone the same issue with the ED64Plus, that it sometimes doesn´t start after pressing reset button (which is particularly annoying when saving a game) or is it just a bad cartridge which I got?
Can anyone explain arguments for/against using Altra64 over Alt64(64Noivern Reddit Mod)? I will list the details I've collected so far.
Altra64
* Was made specially for ED64 Plus not the original Everdrive
* Source is available on github
* OS64P/OS64 is double the size of Alt64(64Noivern Reddit Mod) 4mb vs 2mb
* Last github release/OS64P was 21 August 2019.. Development has been more recent by almost 4 years.
* Seems to be people in this thread suggesting it.
* Using 'C' buttons in the file menu is slow/laggy/buggy compared to Alt64(64Noivern Reddit Mod)
Alt64(64Noivern Reddit Mod)
* Was originally made for everdrive but this version modded specially for ED64 Plus. OP from Reddit has said he tested thoroughly seems without fault bar some game caveats.
* Recommended by micro-64 (article last updated 10th April 2020) micro-64/features/ed64plus.shtml
* First posted in Reddit 19th September 2018. But the modified date on OS64/OS64P is 14th August 2015.
* Cannot seem to find the source code (I have contacted 64Noivern via reddit but will see if he responds)
* Using 'C' buttons in the file menu is NOT slow/laggy/buggy compared to Altra64 menu/navigation
* OS64P/OS64 is half the size of Altra64 2mb vs 4mb

Hi Everyone, i had the cartridge with the 1.28a (the firm with a NES emu), I'm trying to install the ALT64 firm but it didn't work (black screen), I'm using a PAL console.
Anyone can help me?

Do you have the ED64Plus version with the region switch on top? Because according to
http://micro-64.com/features/ed64plus.shtml
the Alt 64 firmware only works with the latest ED64Plus:
"IMPORTANT: This version of Alt64 is ONLY for the latest ED64Plus cartridge, the one with the region switch. Do not use this Alt64 version on the original ED64plus with the cartridge slot on top."
Yea, is the version with the switch NTSC/PAL, the original one and the ALTRA64 works, but ALT64 nope...
Nope, but you can back up memory pak saves to the SD card so you only need 1 memory pak.
Do you need the memory pak in controller 1 to save to the memory pak or is it also possible when you have it inserted in controller 2 (which is connected to the console, for sure)

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
