Aims
- Support as many N64 FlashCarts as possible.
- Be open source, using permissive licensed third party licensed libraries.
- Be testable, using unit and smoke tests in ares emulated environment.
- Encourage active development from community members and N64 FlashCart owners.
- Support as many common mods and features as possible.
Experimental features
These features are subject to change:
GamePak sprites
To use N64 GamePak
sprites, place PNG
files within the sd:/menu/boxart/
folder.
Supported sprites
These must be PNG
files that use the following dimensions:
- Standard N64 GamePak boxart sprites: 158x112
- Japanese N64 GamePak boxart sprites: 112x158
- 64DD boxart sprites: 129x112
They will be loaded by directories using each character of the full 4 character Game Code (as identified in the menus ROM information).
i.e. for GoldenEye NTSC USA (NGEE), this would be sd:/menu/boxart/N/G/E/E/boxart_front.png
.
i.e. for GoldenEye PAL (NGEP), this would be sd:/menu/boxart/N/G/E/P/boxart_front.png
.
To improve compatibility between regions (as a fallback), you may exclude the region ID (last matched directory) for GamePaks to match with 3 letter IDs instead:
i.e. for GoldenEye, this would be sd:/menu/boxart/N/G/E/boxart_front.png
.
Note1: Excluding the region ID may show the wrong boxart.
Note2: For future support, boxart sprites should also include: boxart_back.png
, boxart_top.png
, boxart_bottom.png
, boxart_left.png
, boxart_right.png
.
Compatibilty mode
If you cannot yet satisfy the correct boxart layout, The menu still has deprecated support for filenames containing the Game ID.
Note: This will add a noticeable delay for displaying parts of the menu.
Each file must be named according to the 2,3 or 4 letter GamePak ID (matched in this order). i.e.
- for GoldenEye 4 letters, this would be
sd:/menu/boxart/NGEE.png
and/orsd:/menu/boxart/NGEP.png
. - for GoldenEye 3 letters, this would be
sd:/menu/boxart/NGE.png
. - for GoldenEye 2 letters, this would be
sd:/menu/boxart/GE.png
.
As a starting point, here are some links to boxart packs:
Menu Settings
The Menu creates a config.ini
file in sd:/menu/
which contains various settings that are used by the menu.
If required, you can manually adjust the file on the SD card using your computer.
