I updated the 40 Winks NTSC crack to set the region code. It isn't required by an N64 (which is why the game ran fine on my v64jr) but the Everdrive tends to be pickier about such things. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5i4oybbh2v8pziy Should note that any SRAM-patched FLASHram game has one major drawback. The save file is half the size (or less?) so I'd stick to just save slot one if I were you. If you do need to alter a FLASH game to an SRAM one, the way you go about it is to look for instances setting PI BSD domain 2 values. The usual SRAM settings are: Latency 0x5 Pulse Width 0xC Page Size 0xD Release Duration 0x2 Different FLASHram games use different settings, which is why loading/saving FLASH was always such a problem in the early days and there wasn't a generic tool for all carts. Otherwise, FLASH and SRAM are both written to A8000000.
whatever you guys done to 40 winks now makes the game run in colour on my usa n64 and hd tv. no messing with paladin and other ips patches worked so far for 40 winks or other games. is there any poissibility of fixing a few other pal exclusive games with this method so we can play in colour. so far the list is air boarder 64. - there is a jap version but a patched pal version would be better. centre court tennis. - once again there is a jap version called let's smash tennis so same as the above. f-1 racing championship. f-1 world grand prix II. premier manager 64. rakugakids. - once again a jap version but would be way muchbetter to play fixed pal version in colour. most of thses game have so called ntsc fixes but they don't work in colour on my usa 64 and everdrive 64 with my hd tv. the fact that 40 winks has been fixed and now runs in colour leads me to believe that these others could be fixed just the same. i don't know how hard or time consuming it would be to fix these games display. even a tutorial of what steps to follow and what tools to use would be cool. fixes would be awesome. the ed64 is a great product. shame about the pal-ntsc display on my hd tv. these games run in colour on my old sony tv but i would rather play them all on my large plasma if possible. besides i hate moving my consoles around from one tv to another cheers been messing a bit with the rom renamer tool and some patched games. some patched games that were still in black and white on my setup are now in colour after changing the rom to e: USA (NTSC) with rom renamer but it don't work for all games unfortunatly. as of now the only 2 games i cant get working in colour are premier manager 64 f-1 racing championship there is the michael owen world league soccer game aswell but thats the same game as mia hamm soccer apparently. any assistence would be awesome
40 Winks was already designed with NTSC, PAL, and MPAL support (except the audio, which will still pop occationally) but was artificially region locked by testing the TV type returned by the console versus the known value for PAL. I don't know why the ED64 behaves the way it does with region code checks honestly. If we could get a response from the dev it would really help to know what kind of patching is necessary. Suffice it to say it is definately reading the internal region ID itself and this, occationally, will cause problems with out-of-region compatability. There's a few games coded like 40 Winks, pretty much all at the end of the N64 lifecycle. If you're lucky some of these may also follow the same scheme and PAL->NTSC is a negligable change. Others may force a specific mode but permit you to force a different one. Otherwise, you'll have to change the VI settings loaded at boot and any VI settings tables drawn from at runtime. To a degree that's on a game-by-game basis--at least specific offsets. A few, like Rush 2049, can be a real pain though. One other thing: try changing the video mode setting in ED64's options from 'autodetected' to the region you want.
i manged to get the ntsc brazil version of f1 racing championship so the only game left that wont play in colour on my plasma is premier manager 64. tried all sorts pf fixes with no luck. i don't think it's an everdrive issue at all tbh. it's more to do with compatible tv's, all these games play in colour on my old style sony tv with just the region fix. seems like there is need for further display fixes to work with some tv's but i don't now the technical stuff. i presume pal games would be in b&w on my plasma tv using my old doctor v64 copier just never tried it, i always thought that the old ntsc patches i applied to the roms over ten years ago fixed every aspect of pal to ntsc, in no way did i consider that the compatibility of my sony trinatron tv was helping matters colour wise. if anyone here knows a little about cracking this problem with premier manager 64 on plasma tv and wouldnt mind wasting some time making a fix it would be awesome for me to have complete set of games running on my plasma (i'm a completist lol). bearing in mind that both the old patches and f1 and f2 100% prepatched roms still display b&w on my plasma.
I tried to get 40 Winks to run with your crack, but it will not work on my ED64. I tried your latest crack and the older one. I'm guessing something changed in the ED64's latest OS because the video still plays like it is PAL. First before trying the latest I tried everything as Wiggly had (not knowing there was an updated crack because I did not read more post) but that did not work. Then I read more. I applied the latest crack, but that did not work either, as it was in PAL video. I then used the N64ROMRenamer on the already cracked rom and changed the country to, USA, NTSC, through the header editor. When I loaded it this time I only got a black screen :/ I've tried Using the N64ROMRenamer before and after patching the rom, I have my video settings on my ED64 set to NTSC, if it is the new OS in the ED64 I don't want to load a different OS every time I want to play 40 Winks. edited: I've tried OS's 1.28, 1.27, 1.26. It's clearly not the OS, I'm starting to think it's the rom I have. The ones from Theisozone, and emuparadise seem to be the same one, I've tried them both. Someone says they have the rom working on ED64 and that they are going to share the rom with me though. I tried everything to the T when trying to do what Wiggly did, right down to what programs he used to apply the crack and everything, so it must have been the rom. I couldn't say because I could not find a different one, just the same rom from different sources.
I just got 40 Winks to run on NTSC/U console with the latest version of the patch which appears to had been released in 2012 on Sony Trinitron Wega 27" TV and it is awesome. This game is better than the platformers Rare put out. I get bored playing the Rare stuff, this one is fun. So now every game I want to play works on the ED64 and I got cheat code capability etc. Pretty cool. I set aside my SNES, these N64 games actually are more entertaining to me than the snes stuff. I just gotta update my good set and put the missing stuff on this flash cart and I'll be good to go.
