First Steps</h2>
|
|
<p>Connect the SD card to your PC and ensure it is properly formatted to be compatible with your flashcart. <br />
|
|
<b>WARNING:</b> Filenames are expected to be written in ASCII, with Western Europe characters fully compatible. Other Unicode characters, such as those from Eastern Europe, Russia, Asia or Middle East regions (to name just a few examples) are not fully supported and may not be displayed.</p>
|
|
<h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md34"></a>
|
|
Preparations for SC64</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>FAT32 and EXFAT are fully supported.</li>
|
|
<li>An SD formatted with 128 kiB cluster size is recommended.</li>
|
|
<li>Download the latest <code>sc64menu.n64</code> file from the <a href="https://github.com/Polprzewodnikowy/N64FlashcartMenu/releases/">releases</a> page, then put it in the root directory of your SD card.</li>
|
|
<li>Create a folder in the root of your SD card called <code>menu</code>.</li>
|
|
<li>Place your ROM files on the SD card, <b>in any folder except <code>menu</code></b>. <br />
|
|
<b>NOTE:</b> byteswapped ROM's will increase load times.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md35"></a>
|
|
Preparations for other supported flashcarts</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>FAT32 recommended.</li>
|
|
<li>An SD formatted with the default cluster size is recommended.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>(TBW)</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md36"></a>
|
|
Emulator Support</h2>
|
|
<p>Emulators should be added to the <code>/menu/emulators</code> directory on the SD card.</p>
|
|
<p>N64FlashcartMenu currently supports the following emulators and associated ROM file names:</p><ul>
|
|
<li><b>NES</b>: <a href="https://github.com/hcs64/neon64v2/releases">neon64v2</a> by <em>hcs64</em> - <code>neon64bu.rom</code></li>
|
|
<li><b>SNES</b>: <a href="https://github.com/Hydr8gon/sodium64/releases">sodium64</a> by <em>Hydr8gon</em> - <code>sodium64.z64</code></li>
|
|
<li><b>Game Boy</b>/**GB Color**: <a href="https://lambertjamesd.github.io/gb64/romwrapper/romwrapper.html">gb64</a> by <em>lambertjamesd</em> - <code>gb.v64</code>/<code>gbc.v64</code> ("Download Emulator" button)</li>
|
|
<li><b>SMS</b>/**GG**: <a href="https://github.com/fhoedemakers/smsplus64/releases">smsPlus64</a> by <em>fhoedmakers</em> - <code>smsPlus64.z64</code></li>
|
|
<li><b>Fairchild Channel F</b>: <a href="https://github.com/celerizer/Press-F-Ultra/releases">Press-F-Ultra</a> by <em>celerizer</em> - <code>Press-F.z64</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|

|
|
64DD Disk Support</h2>
|
|
<p>To load and run 64DD disk images, place the required 64DD IPL dumps in the <code>/menu/64ddipl</code> folder on the SD card. For more details, follow <a href="https://64dd.org/tutorial_sc64.html">this guide on the 64dd.org website</a>.</p>

Save Files</h1>
|
|
<p>All save files (whether <code>FlashRam</code>, <code>SRAM</code> or <code>EEPROM</code>) will be read from a <code>/saves</code> folder located <b>in the same directory as the ROM</b> and they must share the same file name, but use the <code>.sav</code> extension. <code>.sav</code> files will be created and modified whenever a ROM file saves to the "cartridge save memory".</p>

|

<div class="line"> └── b_rom_whatever.sav</div>
|
|
</div><!-- fragment --><h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md40"></a>
|
|
Transfering Saves From An ED64</h2>
|
|
<p>If you are transferring a file from a different flashcart, such as the ED64, you must change the file extension to <code>sav</code>. For example, a save file called <code>Glover (USA).eep</code> should have its extension changed to <code>Glover (USA).sav</code> to work with N64FlashcartMenu.</p>
|
|
<p>You may also need to pad/trim the files to their original size:</p><ul>
|
|
<li>For EEPROM 4Kbit games, remove the padding.</li>
|
|
<li>For others, use a tool such as <a href="https://github.com/Ninjiteu/N64SaveConverter">Ninjiteu's N64SaveConverter</a>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p><b>WARNING:</b> Saves created with certain emulators, or created for a different ROM version (as in revisions of the same game) or region (as in between NTSC and PAL versions of a same game) may be incompatible. </p>
