first i did atmosphere on 7.00 (not 7.01) but didnt work

now im loading hekate and still not work

all other emulators work. did many fresh installations but N64 just crashes everytime i try to load a game.

Idk what i can even do at this point. am I missing something??

oh and im loading with the homebrew menu not a NSP


Not cfw, how are you loading hombrew? You need full ram access for n64 to not crash.

oh i didnt know that? I just click retroarch on the homebrew menu. do I have to do something else? thank you for helping me :)


Ive used smash and mario tennis and both work

You have to modify loader.ini file in atmosphere folder

Example:

[config]
hbl_tid=0100BDE00862A000 <----Mario Tennis ID - I have mario tennis installed - Hold R on launch of mario tennis and hombrew loads, n64 no longer crashes
hbl_path=atmosphere/hbl.nsp
override_key=R

My ini says this


[hbl_config]
title_id=010000000000100D
path=atmosphere/hbl.nsp
override_key=!R

[default_config]
override_key=!L

do i replace this?

Yes, change the title_id parameter to the Title ID of the game through which you’ll enter the Homebrew Menu. Personally, I’d also change the override_key parameter to “R” so that I won’t immediately boot into the Homebrew Menu if I’d like to play the donor game.

For those of you wondering, Othello has one of the smallest footprints for a full title that works to load the homebrew menu. I've been using it for a while now and it works great. I think it clocks in around 130Mb.

I don't like to use a game I'm actually going to play.

does this work with sxos yet?

They're never going to go out of their way to make it compatible with SX OS. (m4xw hates them) I've told you before you can hold R on a game to get the extra ram and get pretty good compatibility with that if it's not working after doing that you're doing something else wrong. I do that and run it off the nsp and it works fine and I have SX OS. Sometimes you have to change settings for certain games like framebuffer on or off.

I am getting weird errors when I try to restart/switch games. It will say No Core Loaded in the bottom, but then when I try to load a new game with the same core I was just using I get an error that says Failed to Load Content. When I use the Restart RetroArch command from the menus, it restarts and where ti previously said no core loaded it now shows that the last core I was using is loaded. I can usually start a game at this point.

Even if I do Quit RetroArch through the menu and re-launch it, it seems like the old core is still loaded and doesn't let me launch another game with that core.

nope! i just got into homebrew using the photo icon! how can i do that! do i need to change something on the loader.ini on atmosphere?

Yeah loader.ini needs changing

You need a title ID from an already installed game like this

Mario tennis is my donor game

[config]
hbl_tid=0100BDE00862A000
hbl_path=atmosphere/hbl.nsp
override_key=R

This is my config

Load mario tennis with A and I can play mario tennis - Load holding R and it loads homebrew with full ram access

    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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ 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 @ 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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
