Advanced Homebrew ROM Header

Tom Ballaam edited this page Feb 10, 2024 · 7 revisions

The advanced homebrew ROM Header allows DK64 Randomizer to work on some mupen-based emulators but does break functionality of some other platforms.

Where to use the header

DO use the header if you are going to run on one of the following platforms (Mupen 64 FZ officially supported by the randomizer yet):

  • Rosalie's Mupen GUI
  • Simple64
  • Mupen 64 FZ

DO NOT use the header if you are going to run on one of the following platforms:

  • Everdrive 64 Version 2.5
  • Everdrive 64 Version 3.0 (Using 2.X OS)
  • Wii U Virtual Console
  • Any unofficial Everdrive (eg. Everdrive 64 Plus, Chinese Everdrive)

I applied the setting incorrectly

If, by accident, you apply the wrong setting, there is a way to correct this. The Homebrew Header Swapper tool swaps whether your ROM has the homebrew header or not. It will tell you whether your input ROM had the homebrew header and provide you a ROM which has the opposite.
