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.

Loading with full ram access?
 
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
