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:
ROM Boxart
To use boxart, you need to place png files of size 158x112 in the folder /menu/boxart on the SD card.
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.
A known set of PNG files using 2 letter ID's can be downloaded here.
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.

SC64
- Ensure the cart has the latest firmware installed.
- Download the latest
