Wii U N64 Injection Framebuffer Issues

the_randomizer · Oct 29, 2021

So, I'm trying to inject Zelda OOT Redux into the base OOT game (this ROM hack fixes a lot of issues the OG version had, adds hover/iron boots to the d-pad, faster text speed, many QOL stuff that makes it superior to the vanilla version).
However, the framebuffer effects are completely jacked up in the subscreen menus, like, neon colors and of course the delay. There is no info that I can find on here or with Google, and I've been out of the loop for some time, didn't have my Wii U for a while as I lent it to a family member until today.
@ploggy Do you have any insight or maybe bring me up to speed to see what I can do to fix it? Maybe I'm using the wrong base game,

This is what the ROM hack does to the vanilla game:

Maybe it's too much for Vessel to handle and it just screws up how the RSP is being emulated? I'm baffled because it otherwise works perfectly fine and at full speed. I also forgot how to adjust it back to 4:3 aspect ratio with the canvas settings in the ROM ini files, so yeah. I'm so out of the loop

This what the INI file looks like

Sorry mate It's been so long since I messed with WiiU N64 injects, I've pretty much forgotten everything

Try using a newer base game I guess? I don't even know what the newest N64 base is?

It's fine, I'm just trying to find out and reestablish my familiarity with the whole Wii U homebrew stuff. If not, it's no biggie, I have other ways of playing the game

Dont know if you saw but we got a fullspeed 32X Core the other day

Huh, no, I didn't see that, pretty cool

I need to try with latest patcher64+ tool if repatching the redux mod to ROM can solve that issue, but if not, just change:

[Render]
CopyDepthBuffer = 1

to

[Render]
CopyDepthBuffer = 0

pause menu will be totally black (just the background) instead, better than those glitches.

For the delay after pressing start just change this:

;Ocarina US
[Cheat]
;pause menu
Cheat0 = 2
Cheat0_Addr = 0x801DAE8B

to this

;Ocarina US
[Cheat]
;pause menu
Cheat0 = 2
Cheat0_Addr = 0x801DA5CB

I'll give that a shot, thanks ^^

BTW, what exactly is the patcher64 tool?

Edit: If you can find out what's going on and get the background to emulate properly with framebuffer, that'd be awesome, keep me posted

what im guessing is the new mod doesnt have the same adresses that the original has therefore it fails to patch them.

Ah crap. Figured as much >.> Jusy trying to get back into the Wii U scene. I still have other ways to play the ROM hack but wanted to check anyway, you know? If it can be resolved great, but if not, oh well. Sorry to bother with such a trivial issue

you can probably played it just fine on not64/wii64 no?

Admittedly not a fan of the emulator screen tearing and depth buffer issues where there's culling glitches. No vsync and FB causes issues. I'll stick to other emulators. Damn I'm sorry for wasting your time
