    Ok, I'm starting it and will be updating this first post with information about which version of games you need to work 100% on the ED64.

    Common problem is save in ED64 with Flashram games.
    Most of this games had been cracked by LaC to work on some old copiers.

    If you know where to find those roms, let us know and I'll update this post.

    Here is a list of US games and which kind of save those games use:

    I found some of the patches, but is there a tutorial on patching correctly for the Everdrive?

    Thanks for the work Ladoma :)

    A guy made a statement
    here
    about flashram saves.

    "LaC made a series of cracks for FlashRAM games in particular to save to SRAM instead."
    This is the second place I look into and read the same thing.
    I've download the entire dextrose crack folder only getting what people already have.

    So, anyone with those cracks from LaC ?

    How to appy APS patches to a N64 rom

    1) Download, extract and install WinAPS
    2) Download, extract and install WinAPS 1.1 Update
    3) Download, extract and copy WinApsExeFix to WinAPS folder
    4) Start WinAps.exe

    [​IMG]

    5) Browse to the directory where the extracted APS file and the corresponding N64 rom are
    6) Select both in WinAPS

    [​IMG]

    7) Be sure the crc's match
    8) Click "Patch Rom"
    9a) Profit =)
    9b) Or not :( In this case just use: Legend of Zelda, The - Majora's Mask (E) (M4) [f1].z64
    Which is a prepatched version.

    Now that I have ED64, I can confirm the next version of GE:X will work perfectly on ED64!

    It seems the installers don't like Win7-64 bit for me anyhow...

    No luck for me getting Jet Force for me to work? :(

    Either install Windows XP in VMWare or use "Jet Force Gemini (E) (M4) [f1].z64" or "Jet Force Gemini (U) [f1].z64" which have the patches already applied.

    Hi

    I have a NTSC JAP N64. I've tried the Megaman 64 (JU) (!) from GoodTools, but it does freeze once I defeat the first boss. So, I searched and found out that Megaman 64 is one of those games that does not work because of the unsupported save type.
    So, I've tried the Megaman 64 (U) (t1) (f1) but it does the same thing. I thought this fixed version would work, but it does the same as the (!) version...
    Any idea? Does someone has the same problem?
    Thanks in advance

    This one works fine, but it hangs later, when you defeat the first boss... Maybe that's when there's a save on the original cart...

    40 Winks:

    I was having trouble running this game on my system: NTSC N64 (Jap), NTSC ED64, UK TV(PAL, but NTSC compatible).

    The game booted fine, but ran in Black & white/grayscale, even after using the Zoinkity region hack, and despite having a PAL TV.

    Finally, after a few days, I have solved this problem. For anyone else who has had this issue, the solution is below.



    Download this utility, Einstein II N64 Rom Renamer. (Link : http://www.romhacking.net/utils/791/)

    First, use the header editor (under 'Tools') to change the game's country to an NTSC country (I used E; "USA NTSC", but I guess A; "USA & Japan NTSC", or J; Japan NTSC would work just as well). Save the changes. Incidentally, if you try and boot this ROM it now is in colour, but displays the "This game can not be played on this system" message.

    Patch this version of the ROM with Zoinkity IPS hack (Link : http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/539/). I used this IPS patcher utility, IPS XP 111 (link : http://www.romhacking.net/utils/13/)

    The patched version will now run, on an NTSC N64 and NTSC ED64, in full colour. Sound is a little crackly in places (e.g. popping sounds in the first curscene), similar to a PAL system running an NTSC ROM, but otherwise, it's all good stuff.


    This may not be a common problem, but hopefully this information will help someone out.

    I tried to download the patch files but it says the CRC check fails in all of them.
