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.

Experimental features

These features are subject to change:

ROM Boxart

To use boxart, place PNG files in the /menu/boxart folder on the SD card with the following dimensions:

  • Standard covers: 158x112
  • 64DD covers: 129x112
  • Japanese covers: 112x158

Each file must be named according to the 2 letter ROM ID, or 3 letter ROM ID including media type. i.e. for GoldenEye 2 letters, this would be GE.png. i.e. for GoldenEye 3 letters, this would be NGE.png. You can download these boxart packs:

American Boxart

European Boxart

64DD Boxart

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.

Flashcart specific

SC64

  • Ensure the cart has the latest firmware installed.
  • Download the latest sc64menu.n64 file from the releases page, then put it in the root directory of your SD card.

64drive

  • Ensure the cart has the latest firmware installed.
  • Download the latest menu.bin file from the releases page, then put it in the root directory of your SD card.

ED64 & ED64P

Currently not supported, but work is in progress (See PR's).

The aim is to replace Altra64 and ED64-UnofficialOS.
