I have my game decrypted in my HD.
The files are mostly .pak.

Thanks to the work of Retro Modding Wiki I was able to extract those pak files using this tool:
http://www.metroid2002.com/retromodding/wiki/PAK_(Tropical_Freeze)

After extracting I was able to find CAUD which the wiki tells is Audio Sound Effect and CSMP which is Audio Sample.

Well, I can't play those files with Foobar2000 plugin...

A few games do not use anti-aliasing which result in a sharper picture. For example Hydro Thunder or Automobili Lamborghini.

Quake 64 does even have an option to turn anti-aliasing on and off. That made me wonder if it's possible to turn off anti-aliasing in other games as well. Probably with a GameShark cheat code? Does anyone know if that's even possible?]]> 222 Sun, 03 Jul 2016 22:25:36 +0000 http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/64dd-cartridge-conversions-released.56654/ http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/64dd-cartridge-conversions-released.56654/ invalid@example.com (Zoinkity) Zoinkity
LuigiBlood has been kind enough to host them along with the original dumped disks.

So no, there wasn't a magically "hardware revision 3". They do use a specialized bootstrap though, implementing the system initialization and disk initialization usually performed by the IPL. It's a much higher-level hack than Dezaemon is, making no attempts to simulate...

which I'd never heard of. It's a text based adventure game, with very good (for the old but great N64) static backgrounds, but sadly utterly unplayable unless you speak (or rather read) Japanese.

It made me wonder what other great N64 games I'd missed because of the language barrier. So I thought I'd start a thread to discuss N64 games that were never released in English....

I am mainly interested to know if anybody has used or seen these controllers and whether they were only used internally or whether they were available to all dev studios. Nintendo provided documentation and libraries, so I would assume they were available, but I have not seen any in the wild.

Recently, I have been able to buy a NPDP reader (two of them in fact). Both are NTSC.

I have a NPDP cart coming from a UK studio. For the moment, the NPDP reader tell me that the cart can't be read.

So, my question is : Do NPDP carts are also region locked ? Like NTSC and PAL.

I don't know if the region lock is on the Data on the NPDP cart or if the NPDP cart is itself region locked.

Thanks for your help !
