BattleTanx.rom not able to run on BizHawk #1105

Open SuperMafia opened 6 years ago

SuperMafia commented 6 years ago

update 2022-02: emulated correctly by Ares64 core, which unfortunately is too slow for casual play

Hello, I'm having a little problem with the BizHawk emulator. Overall, it's a very amazing emulator, but I do have one problem with it. And that problem is that I cannot open up my BattleTanx emulator on BizHawk. It has the .rom ending, while the other N64 game I do have uses the .z64 ending. Is it simply a faulty file or is .rom not supported by BizHawk?

EDIT: Alright, I figured that I was a dumb and downloaded a BattleTanx rom that ended with the .n64 file. However, I'm still just stuck at a black screen, with nothing to load into. Even with BattleZone and Goldeneye, which both are .n64 files, they may be laggy, but they can load in quite easily.

edit: Don't link ROMs

I get fully black frames too. The SHA-1 hash of the rom in that archive starts 1DACED29... but the one in the gamedb starts 535860D9..., so the file might have been corrupted.

The ROM seems to run fine in Ares64 fwiw (also it does match the gamedb after correcting byte order (1DACED29... matches a byte-swapped ROM))

Hmm, how do I correct the byte order within Bizhawk? I'd kinda wanna see if I can get stable corruptions from that game, since I loved playing it as a kid

The ROM's byte order is corrected when loaded into BizHawk, the proper ROM is sent over to Ares64 in the end.
