I gave up on it some time ago, not being able to make it work in RetroArch either (only in standalones).
The best alternative though, is to track down the 64DD files that have been converted into regular N64 ROMs and load them as any normal N64 rom. Which is what i did and never looked back. There’s even a F-Zero X + Expansion combined, translated ROM.
Hi, I was trying that today and it seems that at least for subsystem you have to enter there 3 times: first load the ndd, then the expected rom (taking U/J/E into account), then again to actually start it. Also the rom should be unzipped. I tried with FZeroX but I don’t have the Japanese rom, just Usa. Didn’t try loading it directly.
Thanks for this, Got it working doing this. F-Zero froze up when loading, but for some strange reason if load in and immediately create a save state, then load the state it doesn’t lock up. I suspect it’s loading through the bios too quickly.
Do you know how to load standalone content?
My “xxxx.ndd” content such as doshin results in a “failed to load content” error.
I’ve just tried standalone content, and it worked. BUT, you have to make sure that there are only ascii characters in your path. I’ve just tried and my main content path has an “ó” in between… and it seems that DD files can’t load from there (other content is fine).
At first I didn’t know that standalone content work, vecause I didn’t find any tutorial on how to load n64dd xd.
I read the mupen64 docs and thought that maybe that’s the way n64dd works… and something happened after a couple of tries.
I created an issue in the repo: 64DD fails to load if path contains non-ascii chars
ca you list the steps you took to load it please?
No problem!
Preparation:
Standalone content:
Using Subsystems:
Those are the steps I’ve been doing for both ways to load 64DD.
I hope this helps!
Thanks, that worked for me.
I was successfully able to launch all verified copies of games in the 64DD library, bar “Dezaemon DD (Japan) (Proto)”
Some notes for developers.
Thanks for the hard work.
A little late, here is an official guide with information (which does not appear in the documents). Although, it does not have the detailed information that @drehren gives.
The option to place the same name is very comfortable and works to create a playlist.
Super Mario, Golf Tour, F-Zero X, Simcity, Dezamon, have their ROM.
The “Mario Artist” work with any ROM (Japan).
But the “kyojin no doshin” can not get ripped them in any way. It works for you?
The converted versions work well.
hi how are you can you share the roms thanks and the bios i wold be thankful
Sharing Roms is Againt the Law/Rules to Share them Publicly
Do you have the bios?
hi yes i do i will show you, this bios i have in system folder
and this bios are in systen/Mupen64plus folder
i hope you can help me thanks
Aha i forgot that i have have format my pc and i delete everything
You just have to do the same steps, everything is in this forum thread very well explained.
Has anyone actually gotten SimCity 64 (unpatched, just the clean Japanese rom) to go in game? All the other games seem to work with mupen, bit SimCity 64 will end up in a black screen after the initial logos display. Sometimes it manages to go till the title screen, but once I press start I still get the black screen.
I just checked it and it works fine both ways, changing the names or using the subsystem.
If the other games work for you and you have the correct BIOS, check that the ROMs are good, both Japanese, 64DD is only Japanese.
It was a settings problem with the mupenplus next core:
“Framerate” must be set to “Original”, “Fullspeed” causes the black screen.
Under “Pak/Controller Options”, if player 1 has a rumble pak inserted, it also doesn’t work. Memory pak works. I don’t know, yet if it has to be memory pak or if anything but rumble works. Needs more testing.
