New Update

https://github.com/extremscorner/not64/releases/tag/20250202

sadly seems nothing that would improve game compatibility has been touched but it added some qol features tough.

Does this mean big games that have to load into MEM2 will start up twice as fast now (if loaded from SD)? Either way, cool to see updates still coming for this great app.

 

[Extrems]

It's all I/O operations involving the SD card. It's 50% faster than USB 2.0 now.

To everyone using Not64 on Dolphin emulator: DO NOT UPDATE TO v20250202 OR NEWER FOR NOW!

I'm afraid to inform that starting from version v20250202, it broke game data saving, cause when i return to the menu after saving any progress in any game it shows "Error when auto saving to SD".

Also when i try to save settings i also get the message "Error saving settings to SD".
(Loading game data and settings works through)

first time i'm downgrading Not64 cause of this.

(Only tested SD, didn't try FAT/USB)

EDIT: This issue seems to only affect Dolphin Emulator, original Wii/Wii U hardware should not be affected.

You're a weirdo that plays in Dolphin, and Dolphin isn't supported.

Not trying to be rude dude, but there are people who want to try Wii homebrew but they don't have the needed Wii/Wii U hardware to do that (like me), so we use Dolphin.

Is there any particular reason why Dolphin isn't supported? Because using latest development Dolphin versions, with a few changes in the Dolphin settings, and booting Not64 from a forwarder WAD, it is possible to use Not64 in Dolphin...

 

[Extrems]

The SD card's CSD is in the wrong byte order in Dolphin, so the driver can wrongly think the SD card is read-only or the wrong size.

So it only happens in Dolphin?

The last note-worthy update was in 2022... Why can't they fix what's really wrong with it?

 

[CORE]

I am grateful getting anything at all , I think it just one Person when they have free time but would like Wii U GamePad DRC Support. With more people onboard I think it could be perfected to near 100% Compatibility.

Maybe take your time and fix what's really wrong with it?

Because that would involve throwing everything away and starting over from scratch? I barely have time as it is to work on other projects than Swiss.

Do you think the progress on OpenGX would be helpful for someone thinking about porting over one of the OpenGL based N64 graphics plugins for PC?

 

[Extrems]

Not really. You'd be 3 layers deep in abstraction hell trying to translate dynamically generated GLSL shaders.

Do most games still run poorly on this even to this date?

Unless there's a major change to the emulation core or graphics, yes.

. Games run much better. Perfect Dark, Beetle Racing so far
