Programming / Project to optimize N64 needs programmers.

« on: May 09, 2021, 10:25:06 am »

I have been following this blog for some time, it is a scener who is trying to create a program that would allow to optimize N64 games. His efforts are going quite unnoticed I think, in the last post he asks for help from volunteers with programming skills. If I were just testing modified games myself I would do it, but this is too big for me to help you.

I think it was worth spreading it here. Thanks.

I no longer have that pdf, if anyone knows of a tutorial to get started I would appreciate it.

Hello I'm new here. I am a law student, but I am always interested as a hobby in learning to translate games. My native language is small with only three million speakers and I would like to translate some little classics into my language.

I hope to find information and learn something here, thank you all very much.

Thanks for answering, the N64 thing was just a curiosity, I don't have the necessary knowledge to do it. But I wanted to know if it would be possible.

About translating, if you can give me a tutorial or guide for newbies, I would appreciate it. The one I had was a pdf, but as it did not work and had many of the dead links I deleted it to find something better

Newcomer's Board / How to start? And a question about N64 games.

« on: October 02, 2020, 02:33:12 pm »

Hello, this is my first message here. I have not found a presentation thread so I take the opportunity to say that I am a law student who was always curious about game translations and would like to learn the basics as a hobby.

I have two questions:
1- Is there a tutorial for noobs to learn to translate? I found one from about 12 years ago, but most tools didn't work with Windows 10 and I couldn't do anything.

2- There are N64 games that save game on the cartridge itself and others that require memory pak. Nowadays, with flashcards, the games that save games in the cartridge save inside the SD card. Would it be possible to hack the ROM of the games that save in a memory pak so that they save games as if the original cartridge had had its own SRAM?

It has caught my attention that in the NES there are hacks of this type to record / load games in the flashcards of games that used passwords. On the other hand, in N64 I have not seen anything. Is it impossible?

Thank you.
