Castlevania problems

[milstanyu]

I just downloaded Castlevania ROM for N64 (project64) but it doesn't work. What settings/plugins I need?

It works well with the default setup. I'd first use GoodN64; make sure the rom itself isn't the problem.

There are different definitions for "it doesn't work". Error message? Rom doesn't load? What? And you should scan it with goodn64 to see if it's a good dump. And finally, saying stuff like that will get this thread closed.

Error message:
permanent loop that cannot be exited

I'll try to check this rom.

Good N64 scan deep message:

"e6036665 a39c62b7 Castlevania (U) (V1.0) [b4] (L-12582912)",
Imagename: [CASTLEVANIA ] Cnty: USA Ver: 1.0 ID: D3
Hdr: 87cb69fe Boot: 90bb6cb5 Hdrchk: f35d5f95:8afe3d69

Is it ok?

Nope, I think it isn't...
It must be Castlevania (U) (V1.0) [!]

No, [b4] indicates a bad dump. But! Download these patches:

http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?threadid=12078

Find the Castlevania (U) [b4] patch and use an IPS patcher to hard patch the rom (make a back-up before hand). Re-scan the rom, and if the rom patched correctly, you will have the [!] symbol. It should now work properly with the default plugins.

On a side note, scan all your roms and patch them where appropriate to get good dumps. (although the overdump patches don't seem to work and a patch does not exist for every bad dump.)

Huhhhh...

I downloaded "Bad-to-Good_N64_ROMs_Patches" and "IPSWin2.0" to apply the patch.
Renaming ROM using GoodN64 is OK. When I apply appropriate [b4] patch, IPS 2.0 note "File patched successfuly".
When I try to rerename ROM nothing happens.
When I rescan patched ROM, [b4] still appear and, of course, it doesn't work (it has the same size as non-pached ROM).

By the way, there is message "[video] primary_framebuffer:menus" in PJ64's Notes (default plugin). PJ64 is set to all default settings.

I have a Castlevania ROM with the same GoodName as you - I get the same error message, and I also tried using IPS patcher (my favourite N64 emulation tool! ) to patch it. No good - the patch doesn't seem to like this one.

I have the cart somewhere - but no flasher... and I really wanted to play this one too .

If "viper" means anything to you, then we both have the same ROM .
