Marshall, do you truely know how to develop in N64? That would kick ass.

[bioniclebert]

Well if they can make N64 ROMs for the PC (dumping) mabye somebody also knows how to do the writing process.

If you cant find any help, I'd suggest looking at the NES written carts, and see if you cant find any similar techniques to use.

(I haven't been around much lately. I dont have much Inspiration, or cash for that matter. I do still make stuff, however, just not until I get some cash moneys.)

[Sqez]

I'm still er.. mudding my room. But, I really want to get it done because
1. Haven't seen PW because my server is too slow and my main pc is moved!
2. Can't write N64 code because my main pc is moved!
3. I can't work on my spc player becuase my main pc is moved!
4. I can't code GTP because... you guessed it.. my main pc is moved!

Hm.... hm.... who is interested in GTP for the N64? Trouble is, I can make an N64 rom but don't know how to burn it to a mask rom for a cartridge.

Er, where was I?

Damn, how much did the DevKit cost, Marsh to the L

[Fanboy]

It would be awsome to have an N64 cart of GTP, marshall. I sez, sez I, "GO FOR IT!" The only problem with that would be needing to update the program, like if you forgot something or if there are glitches. Oh, well... It would still rock on such a level that would make your totally awsomely 1337 N64 look like the ub3r un1337 5ux0r5...

[gamemaster14]

I must say this is one of the most impressive looking fan made game I have ever seen.

On the topic of N64. I have a Doctor v64 unit if that would help making an n64 version happen at all.

[sammy]

Wouldn't you need special coding to get past the N64 lockout chip? I hope it works anyway cause the N64 is my favorite console.

[marshallh]

No, I'd just buy a bunch of crappy EA football games for $1 each and desolder the maskroms (leaving the CIC lockout chip intact).
However, a n64 version is WAY in the future, maybe more than a few years from now.

I got my computer set up in my sister's room so I can start working on GTP agan!

[Sqez]

Finally! I seriously thought that this was dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marshallh]

Hm... with recent progress on the tool side of things, I've created a large number of batch files to assist me in N64 deving. Now I just type "make" at the command prompt and all my textures are converted, 3ds converted, code compiled and linked, and the rom byteswapped and padded. The biggest downside is this: textures can only be up to 32x32 because the n64 only has a 4kb texture cache!

Anyway, enough of the crap, here's Triton's 54 oldsmobile for the N64!
It runs on Project64 1.6 and my Doctor V64 of course.

And, here is my setup (my room is not done but I'm surviving... barely)

[Turbo Tax 1.0]

looks great marshall. seeing that DC in the background makes me wonder if you could possibly port it to the DreamCast, the DC is slightly easier to put homebrew on isnt it?

[Lucretius]

Damn that's a fine set...digging the GBCam sittin' there...

[Turbo Tax 1.0]

Damn that's a fine set...digging the GBCam sittin' there...

i almost forgot how big a fan of the GBCam you were luc

[bicostp]

Nice!

I want to try this on Project64, but for some reason it tells me it couldn't "initialize the HAL device" and it won't let me run anything. Why is it doing this? It worked before... Any ideas?

I'll try rebooting.

EDIT: Well, rebooting didn't work, but installing the new version of PJ64 did.

[Skyone]

Woah man, you can actually do that? I thought it was a joke! Keep us updated on this!

[G-force]

Thats crazy! I had no clue it was even possible to do something like that on N64. Pretty cool.

Heh, I just noticed from the pic, we have the same wireless mouse.
