3.5 KiB
First time setup of SD card
Using your PC, insert the SD card and ensure it is formatted for compatibility with your flashcart
SC64
-
FAT32 and EXFAT are fully supported.
-
An SD formatted with 128 kiB cluster size is recommended.
-
Download the latest
sc64menu.n64(assuming you are using an sc64) file from the releases page, then put it in the root directory of your SD card. -
Create a folder in the root of your SD card called
menu. -
Place your ROMs on the SD Card, in any folder (except for
menu).
Other supported flashcarts
- FAT32 recommended.
- An SD formatted with default cluster size is recommended.
Emulator support
Emulators should be added to the /menu/emulators directory on the SD card.
Menu currently supports the following emulators and associated ROM file names:
- NES: neon64v2 by hcs64 -
neon64bu.rom - SNES: sodium64 by Hydr8gon -
sodium64.z64 - Game Boy / GB Color: gb64 by lambertjamesd -
gb.v64/gbc.v64("Download Emulator" button) - SMS / GG: smsPlus64 by fhoedmakers -
smsPlus64.z64
64DD disk support
For the ability to load and run 64DD disk images, you need to place the required 64DD IPL dumps in the /menu/64ddipl folder on the SD card.
For more details, follow this guide on the 64dd.org website.
So what would the layout of the SD Card look like?

Save Files
All save files (whether FlashRam, SRAM or EEPROM) use the .sav extension and match the filename of a ROM.
Each save file can be found in the /saves folder located in the same directory as the ROM and shares the same file name, apart from the extension.
These files are created and modified when a "game" saves.
├── (some folder with roms)\
├── a_rom.z64
├── b_rom.n64
└── saves\
├── a_rom.sav
└── b_rom.sav
Transfering saves from an ED64
If transferring a file from a different flashcart, such as the ED64, it will be necessary to change the extension of the file to sav.
i.e. for Glover (USA).eep you would need to change the extension to Glover (USA).sav
You may also need to pad/trim the files to their original size:
- For EEPROM 4Kbit games, remove the padding.
- For others, use a tool such as Ninjiteu's N64 Save converter.
NOTE: certain emulator saves or saves created for a different ROM version or region may be incompatible.
