done, thanks!

last question: running wii64/wii 64 rice, if i push NEW ROM, it shows the cover of my roms. One is missing (boxart.bin missing): is it possible to add it?

thanks!
It is not possible to add the covers as far as I know there is no way
it finds the cover of the game by id inside the rom if the id doesn't match in the database the cover doesn't appear an example let's assume you have the American game super star soccer 64 and also the Japanese one note that the Japanese one won't have a cover by because his id doesn't count in the database to have the cover, this would be different if it were from retroarch

https://i.postimg.cc/x8sWfYFD/not64.png

I will put:
- the content of the apps folder (not64 folder) into the apps folder
- not64 folder into the root of my microSD
- not64.dol --> where i have to put it? This is my microSD: https://i.postimg.cc/QCXFLgvY/Cattura.png

thank you!
its the same as any wii apps

sd:apps/not64/boot.dol is all the dols you need the rest is extras

then sd:not64/roms to put your games.

to run n64 on wiiu, wii64 1.3 and rice with overclock stil better to run on wiiu.

for exemplo:
The problem is that nowadays, so far the only way to play N64 on the Wii is to use these old Wii emulators, and also the limited injects for now, although it doesn't have its own N64 emulator for it, which is very sad. .

The wii64 and not64 are actually cool emulators, but they don't update with changes to improve the graphics plugin to run more games and then it ends up staying the same, the only difference is that the wii64 has support for the gamepad and also has a version using the plugin rice, which already runs a few more games, however, with today's more current plugins it could be better, the problem is that since it's a Wii game, it's still good for the Wii's limits.

thanks, done!

Now i would like to install the Not64 channel as i already have the Wii64/Wii64 Rice but i installed them years ago and i don't remember which is the app I have to use to do that... probably i don't have that app anymore into my homebrewchannel application list... what do you suggest to use in order to install the wad
Probably i can use YAWMM, right? And which is the right .wad channel available here? https://wads.gabubu.gq/wads/ I suppose the vWii version, right? Do you know if it shoudl work on vWii? Or is it better to launch Not64 using HomebrewChannel?

thanks!

anything goes really you can use any wup installer and just install a not64 channel, you wont get wiiugamepad support because not64 hasnt got wiiugamepad coded in but you can always overclock the channel to get some games running smoother

all you need is an app that makes wup isntalls and there are many afaik not sure what you used before.

you can get the channel here for wiiu

I know this friend, what I meant above is that the best Wii emulators to use on the Wiiu are the Wii64 1.3 and the Wii64 1.3 rice which work better and you can use the gamepad as a control at least.
As for the Not64, it doesn't work on the gamepad and the pro controls that I have here don't work on it either, I tested both to compare and based on game support, it's the same thing, it has the same graphical bugs in the games, from what it looks like. the same compatibility now the wii64 has the advantage of at least using the gamepad and there is another version that runs some more games.

Analyzing well, the Not64 is good, but in terms of compatibility it is not different from the Wii64, it only loses to the Wii64 because you can still use the gamepad to play, not depending 100% on having to still use the Wii controls and the Wii64 still has a version that runs some additional games, that is, for those who have a Wii, not64 is good, but for those who use Wii, Wii64 1.3 is a better option.

anything goes really you can use any wup installer and just install a not64 channel, you wont get wiiugamepad support because not64 hasnt got wiiugamepad coded in but you can always overclock the channel to get some games running smoother

I didn't like Not64 to emulate on Wiiu because of:
I can't use the gamepad, my pro controls don't work, the game compatibility list is lower than that of the Wii64 1.3, and the Wii64 1.3 has the advantage of using the gamepad at least and also having rice mode, which increases the Compatibility with more games.

In short, I recommend the Wii64 1.3 along with the Wii 1.3 rice using the overclock on the WiiU, which at least allows you to use the gamepad to play without depending on Wii controls.

Unfortunately, it's been a while since the Wii64 has been updated and if you want to play with two people, you'll have to have Wii controls, but there's no way around it, but to play alone at least the gamepad works.

Not64 is better option on wii.
plays N64 on wiiu with wii64 1,3 version and rice version + injects games for vc n64 for wiiu virtual console.

Why can't you just use your classic controller. I agree the Gamepad is awesome but the classic controller still works great and it's how many of us played our N64 games on the Wii Virtual Console back in the day

Not64 have better compatibility, it's not worth giving that up just for Gamepad support when you can just use your classic controller anyway

I thought so too, but I tested both, and I didn't notice a difference in compatibility, but rather content like being able to use the gamepad to play at least, in fact I saw more compatibility with the Wii64 1.3 and Wii64 1.3 Rice together, than the not64.

Well, the issue is that the Wii's controls are not very good for the reason that you need to use two controls to be able to play with one, for example wiimote + classic controllers, I would have to have the wiimote and the classic controller together to play with one control and still use batteries, all this to have the same game compatibility as the normal Wii64 1.3 without having the rice, this is only cool on the Wii where you can put gamecube controls and play smoothly, on the Wiiu you can use the gamepad at least To play better, that's cool, it would be better if it could be used for the Wiiu controller too, but that's not the case.
The truth is that it will only get better, the day the WiiU has its own N64 emulator, in the meantime the Wii64 is the best option to play N64 on the WiiU, together with the virtual console injects.

Another good example to give you an idea was the Wiistation, which at least had everything I said, but the N64 one was left out (support for the WiiU's own controls) although currently there is already a PS1 core on the WiiU, but that's all. I used it as an example to say how many control options it offered.

so i can use with Not64 the Wii classic controller connected to the wii Mote ?

I read that, checking my Nintendo64 games collection, some of them seem they play better on Not64. for example: GoldenEye, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Conker's, Diddy Kong Racing, Perfect Dark, Star Soldier. I don't knwo if this is true...

every channel can be used overclocked or not, if you run the overclock file first it will be overclocked if not it wont.

Hi guys,

Does anyone have some tips for me on how to get Perfect Dark working great with 4 players? I am using the overclock function and the newest version of NOT64 (20231102), but the music is playing slow in multiplayer and there are a lot of glitches while playing a game with 4. It seems that Wii64 Rice is a better option, but it's not perfect either.
Hope someone can give me some feedback.
Should I be using an older version of NOT64?

you will never have perfect 4 player perfect dark on wii/wiiu lol the game is pretty heavy on the console, heck on the real console 4 players would play under 15 fps too ...

Haha ok thanks!

Did you get Goldeneye X working on the Wii U? It seems that multiplayer deathmatch is working ok with some serious slowdowns, but I am not able to play any missions or coöperative. When I start such a mission every level is just black.

Update: not all missions are finished yet, didn't know that. So this is solved as well :-)

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
