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

[rainpendant]

First of all, this is awesome! I'll be using this a lot.

I used the patcher on an OoT WAD and it runs ok but I'm having some issues:

-Gossip Stones display gibberish after being hit
-The game softlocks after borrowing a mask
-Bombchu minigame softlocks, it doesn't end after running out of bombchus
-The entire console crashes after entering the fishing pond
-Spiders at the spider house have a weird behaviour, sometimes they softlock, sometimes their text is glitchy but they give you the reward, and sometimes they display an empty text box

Story related text is 100% fine so far, I'm only having problems with the optional stuff. I'm playing with female pronouns and the easy version of fishing was activated, did I patch something wrong? Thank you.

Right... The "Female Pronouns" option... I knew it... Still broken huh... Sigh... That's going to be a tricky one. Most of the issues you listed above should be related to this. Bah... And I already redid it...

Fishing pond could be related to the Easier Minigames option, I go check that out.

Welp, back to the drawing board.

EDIT:
Next update v9.1.2: https://github.com/Admentus64/Patcher64Plus-Tool/releases/tag/v9.1.2

I also checked out the fishing pond (sans the Female Pronouns option, since uhh... It's gone now) and I didn't get into an issue that the area crashed when loaded. The Easier Minigames option enabled of course. This was verified on Dolphin only. I can't say for actual hardware, and I don't intent to confirm it on actual hardware anymore. That's too much of a hassle these days since I am purely focused on emulation these days. Chances are that it works on actual hardware as well, otherwise I couldn't say where the issue comes from. Patcher64+ is foremost designed for emulators such as Dolphin or Project64, so actual hardware comes second. I know... I know... It's the reversed way of looking at things, but actual hardware isn't that much of interest to me anymore due their severe limitations. That being said, most changes done through Patcher64+ are not as complex that it would break hardware compatibility, and a lot of patches come from pre-established sources who did verify it on consoles. It's mostly stuff like widescreen, extended draw distance, etc that could cause a higher strain on actual hardware. Patches such as Easier Minigames mostly consists out of a small couple of byte changes to change some of the predefined values there are.

Thank you Admentus, your tool is awesome. Can you add the widescreen patch made by GameMasterplc for both Zeldas?

Just to answer this question in general to everyone.

The widescreen patch for OoT can not be added since it was designed for the Rev 2 US ROM. Patcher64+ is designed around the Rev 0 US ROM.

The widescreen patch for MM can not be added since it's not properly designed. Applying that patch changes the structure of the ROM rendering it unusable for other patches and cheats. It's is probably due to a faulty decompression of the ROM when the patch was designed. This might also be an issue on top of the one for the OoT widescreen patch, but I didn't confirm that.

I'm trying to apply my patches in the SNES section, but they don't work with the program. When I apply them manually, flips gives me the okay. None of the SNES games allow me to patch no matter what version of the game.

Hmm... I should confirm this myself.

Are you patching .sfc ROMs or a WAD?

First of all, thank you kindly for this tool Admentus.
Made an account just to thank you.
Question!
Are you familiar with some text problems that cause the game to stuck?
Basically, I am not able to hit 'A', after obtaining the Goron Tunic specifically in OOT and the text goes off the blue space thingy.
I am also playing a randomized rom, maybe that's causing the problems?
