Patcher64+ Tool v12.0.1 (2021-02-17)

[Admentus]

Patcher64+ Tool

A new tool I have been working upon for the past months. It's the next iteration of what was previously known as the Zelda 64 UHD - WAD Patcher and SM64 USA VC Patcher. This new patcher combines both Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Super Mario 64 and a lot more games for the Virtual Console or their regular console format. The patcher mostly works with USA WAD or ROM files in mind. In additional it also works directly on Nintendo 64, NES and SNES ROM files.

The Patch64+ Tool can switch to either Wii VC or Native mode. Wii VC mode handles VC WAD titles while Native mode handles Nintendo 64 (.N64, .Z64 and .V64), NES (.NES) and SNES (.SFC and .SFM) ROMs directly. Native Mode basically skips most of the code used in Wii VC mode therefore. Wii VC mode only handles N64, NES and SNES titles on the Wii VC currently.

List of credits are accessible within the Patcher64+ Tool.

 * Any other game for Free Game Selection patching

- Any N64 ROM, NES ROM, SNES ROM or VC WAD game you own for Free Mode

Note

Chances are that some bug or errors exist. Testing is a cruel task. If you do encounter some kind of error or bug, please let me know about it and I post a fix for it when I can.

Have any idea's which features or patches for existing or different VC games to support? Great, then let me know that as well, I test it out and I'll include it in the next update.

===============
=== GENERAL ===
===============

Patches ROM or Virtual Console WAD files with patches.
The Patcher64+ Tool can switch to either Wii VC or Native mode.
Wii VC mode handles VC WAD titles while Native mode handles ROM files directly.
Native mode skips most of the code used in Wii VC mode, which results in a faster patching.
Supported ROM files can be found in .NES, .SFC, .SFM, .N64, .Z64 and .V64
The Patcher64+ Tool only supports the N64, NES and SNES consoles currently.

Keep in mind that:

a) Patching Majora's Mask, Super Smash Bros., Paper Mario requires their respective modes and not Free Mode, since both VC WAD titles have applied specific compression to their ROM and Boot DOL.

b) Free Mode and Inject ROM will not work with ROMs not meant for their console mode for the Wii's Virtual Console

c) NES titles requires the console mode to be set to NES mode due to their ROM file being stored differently



===============

For example having items on dedicated buttons (D-Pad) for Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.
Options offers smaller individual changes that can be applied individually from each other, such as Widescreen support.

Awesome tool Admentus, nice work! Regarding Sm64 analog camera, am I understanding it correctly that you need a second controller to control the camera? And is it possible to use both 60fps and analog camera at the same time? Even though if a seconds controller is required, I don't think I'm gonna use, cool to try it out though.

Sadly no. Both patches can not be combined. If they could, I have included a combined patch already first thing. Kaze Emanuar made the source code for the Analog Camera public, but not the 60 FPS source code. The source code is in ASM through, but technically I could port it to AR for example. Except... I am not really skilled in ASM... So...

You don't need an actual second controller through. You just need to enable a second emulated controller and bind Left and Right on the Analog stick to your secondary stick on the controller you actually use. It's a bit clunky, but you only need one physical controller. You only need some rebinds from the 2nd emulated controller. I never really understood why Kaze Emanuar didn't just patch the C-Buttons (C-Stick) on the primary controller.

EDIT 1:
You might notice a new romhack for Majora's Mask and the option to adjust your Redux Patch for either Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask. The GUI has also been cleaned up and improved upon thanks to the addition of tooltips. This eliminates the need a separate area explaining what each patch button does.

EDIT 2:
Resolved two quick issues with the WAD Patcher:

- Added suggestion to enable or disable downgrading OoT when patching fails
- Resolved issues with the WAD Patcher not stopping patching when the patch is not intended for the ROM

EDIT 3:
It's yet again another massive update. This time featuring the Nintendo 64 mode for directly patching ROM for usage on Nintendo 64 emulators. The WAD patching mode is now known as Wii VC mode. There are also some new REDUX options for both REDUX patches such as Hero Mode. And to top it all off quite a few bug fixes. A lot of the code has been refactored, so that can could issues. Just let me know if you encounter an error with the Patcher64+ tool.

I am probably going to stop adding new features for now, and just focus on some maintenance and additional REDUX options.

Wait, am I reading this right, does this allow you to patch a different N64 game over one of the official ones?

EDIT: oh no, re-reading I think you mean patching N64 specific mods for Mario/Zelda and having that be supported in Dolphin

You can either apply a set of custom patches for specific games (Zelda and Mario) or go to Free Mode and just patch whatever N64 game you want. Wii VC Mode is meant for Dolphin since it handles WAD files. You can also extract the ROM from the WAD in Wii VC mode. Extracted ROM files can be used in Nintendo 64 emulators such as Project64. Now new is Nintendo 64 mode which ignores all the WAD stuff for the Wii or Dolphin patches Nintendo 64 ROM files directly (.Z64, .N64, .V64) so you can use them on a Nintendo 64 emulator such as Project64. If you own a Wii VC WAD file you also own a Nintendo 64 ROM automatically, since those very same ROM files are kept in the Wii VC WAD files. If you don't have a .Z64 rom yourself, you can use the Extract ROM function to extract it from the .WAD file you have.

Most of the support is for the predefined games. Free Mode (aka, patching any Wii VC N64 title) patching actually existed for a few updates now. But Nintendo 64 Mode (directly .Z64) is new now.
