8:21 "Regrettably getting a North American system would be expensive." Seriously? When I was a kid I bought around 20 of these n64 systems for prices between $15 - $20 from my local retro gaming store. I was determined to make one into a portable n64. Many systems died at my hands though...it haunts me to this very day.
No joke I was looking for a funtastic console a little while ago and it was actually cheaper to get one imported from Japan. For whatever reason US N64s are priced like they're made of gold.
The 4/8MB thing, as a point of reference, refers to whether or not the Expansion Pak is attached. More in-depth, the N64 has 4MB of onboard RAM, and the Expansion Pak adds another 4MB onto it, totalling 8MB.

Yeah, Mario 64 rom hacking was pioneered at a time when N64 emulation wasn't very accurate, so with Super Mario 64 rom hacks a lot of them don't work on real hardware. Kinda like early Super Mario World romhacks in that regards.
For future reference, the Japanese and US N64s are 100% identical in every way except the plastic tabs in the cartridge port. The motherboards and components are the same. The everdrive already accounts for every possible tab configuration from nintendo. In other words, if your Japanese unit won't play something, a US one won't play it either. The electric region lockout stuff only differentiates PAL and NTSC. The plastic tabs do the rest.
@@twonkatruck you don't even need to cut or sand anything. You can just open the system and unscrew the plastic piece with the tabs. You can even just save it for later just in case you want to undo the modification for some reason.
What about the video output stage? NTSC-J isn't quite the same as regular NTSC. It's close enough that you'll get a picture, but the levels won't quite be right.
Sadly i already expected the endresult after reading the title. Like some guys already said many early Mario 64 Romhacks doesnt work on Real Hardware. The only Thing that is strange is that the Game showed the Title screen, maybe a simple Patch will run it? Great Video like allways, iam glad that I found the channel, greetings from Germany :)
It was good of you to try, however you shouldn't be too disappointed. Most N64 hacks don't work on real hardware as they were made with inaccurate emulators in mind. Best thing to do is contact he author of the hack and see if they'll be willing to tweak it
Hey RHS, how are you? I hope you are well. We were reviewing the videos on your BDIWORH playlist and we relived this moment with Sonic Adventure 64 who didn't want to cooperate xD It may no longer be possible, but if by chance you still have one of the Nintendo 64 consoles, you could have your second chance and be able to fulfill that desire of seeing Sonic on the legendary N64. We don't know if you've seen it, but there is another more updated version of SM64 with our favorite blue hedgehog, you can find it as Mario 64 Sonic Edition (there is a normal version, a Plus version, and both with playable character variants), available for the original N64 and for the PC port. Maybe if your curiosity and possibilities allow it, you can try it and have your "revenge" with this experience. Oh.. and of course, if the console doesn't refuse to load it again :P We wish you the greatest success in everything and may it be a prosperous year for you! Greetings from the distant lands of Argentina! :D
I expect the reason why it glitched out so badly is because the ROM has no PAL compatibility and was only designed for NTSC consoles, therefore it can’t make a proper sync signal on a PAL system.
redhotsonic I did, that was just my theory from before I’d watched the whole thing. It’s a shame it didn’t work at all, it looks like a really cool creation. I’m also really impressed by the amount of effort you went to to get this working! And btw, your conversation with Coury was HILARIOUS
THE SUSPENSE! I have an American N64, the RAM expansion, and an Everdrive 64 v2.5. I was as on the edge of my seat as I could be about a rom hack. Alas For the My Life in Gaming crowd, I have a custom made shielded S-Video cable passing through a RetroTink 2X and an mClassic. Looks great for unmodded hardware
The same errors you'd find on those Zelda Mods with Mario as main playable character. You can't play them on real hardware because most of the codes has changed to be unreadable by the console, or has a ridiculous ROM size usage which makes it impossible to work under N64 limitations (careless, not-so-much-architecture-understanding devs, EMULATION oriented devs, etc). Aaaaand sometimes some people do this to prevent people on playing it in the actual console (the 2p Mario 64 Co-Op mods do work on real hardware). Hardware wise, JP and US N64 are identical, rip theirs tabs in the cart slot and either wouldn't recognize the difference between either JP/US carts. If you bypass somehow the PAL lock-out chip though, the console would also play them, but at a lower rate or on the otherwise, games would play faster (I think this was used to cheat in speedruns, lol).
The amount of stuff that Coury rattles off is the reason why I don't bother with all the fine details of video output, as yikes there are so many different bits & pieces to work with for just ONE system.
Well I Heard From TH-camrs (Such As Beta64 & Snooplax), They Say That Almost Every Super Mario 64 Hack Won't Run On The Everdrive, But The Makers Of Some SM64 Hacks Made Patches To Make Them Work On Real Hardware. I Don't Think They Did This With Sonic Adventure 64
I'm at 1 min of this video and I could answer to the question: is this romhack of Mario 64 primarily designed for emulators that ignore/emulate not very accurately N64 hardware limitations could work on real N64 hardware with an expansion pack 'cause we should check the 8 MB setting on the emulator? I would say "90% of chance is no"
IIRC from the time I was into console modding more than a decade ago, the Japanese and USA N64 are exactly the same except for the position of the indentations in the cartridge slot.
@@redhotsonic Understandable. When the full release comes out, if ever, I sure hope it will work. And seeing as SM64 ROMs expanded with Super Mario 64 ROM Manager are 64MB (NO JOKE), maybe THAT could be why any SM64 hack probably won’t work, unless too much or too less tinkering was done in the making of these versions of this specific hack.. But that’s just me thinking ahead. Maybe other hacks, such as character hacks, or even hacks like Scrooge 64 or Super Mario Star Road might work?
Testing without the jumper pak was a waste of time as was buying the US system. US and JPN systems are perfectly identical on a hardware level. The only difference is the shape of the cartridge slot and what cables it came with
