Warning

This feature is superseded on the SummerCart64 and 64 Drive with Fast Reboot. Similar functionality can be obtained by keeping the USB port of the flashcart powered after sending a ROM via the terminal application. Further more, this feature is still possible as a build flag using FEATURE_AUTOLOAD_ROM_ENABLED.

Autoloading N64 ROMs

You can set up N64FlashcartMenu to load a specific ROM directly instead of booting up the menu's graphical user interface. If you only want to continously reload a ROM for a single gaming session, you should consider the setting for Fast ROM reboots instead.

How to enable autoloading

To use the autoload function, open the N64 ROM information screen on any ROM, then press the R Button on your Controller and select the Set ROM to autoload option. When you restart the console, N64FlashcartMenu will now only load the selected ROM, rather than the menu itself.
NOTE: If you want to return to the menu, press and hold the START Button on your Controller while turning the console's POWER button to the ON position.
