hi all......
need a bit of help im afraid http://www.dextrose.com/ubb/frown.gif
i got pokemon snap US rom for Z64 and i cant seem to save my game?do i need to use a flash rom cart to boot such as c&c or pokemon stadium?
at the mo im using rogue squadron as a boot cart(its the only cart i have.....)
also when my US and JAP roms load up i have a sort of shadow on my screen like there is 2 images, 1 behind the other...its hard to explain, its not that bad but a little annoying, as I play US/Jap games on my PSX and they work fine with a SCART lead into my TV but my N64 has a SCART lead too and this happens!!
probably a small gripe but any advice comments welcome if you think you can help
errr what else....oh yeah, Bassmasters 2000, when i load it up through the Z64 menu its all crackly sound and the game dont run right
but if i load from LCD its fine, the only problem is when i save to mem pack and reload it its crackly again which means i cant seem to save...any ideas??
sorry about this, im new to the Z64 so im still learning..
thanx anybody

Set bootchip emulation to 6103, you have to use C&C as bootcart to save and you have to resize the ROM with Rtool to make Pokemon Snap work. I'm not sure to what size though. Use the SEARCH function and somewhere it will tell you what size.

This was answered perfectly on the Z64 board.

I know exactly what you mean about the shadows on us and jap games, my tv does exactly the same. The bad news is that it is your tv not the 64, if I take my z and n64 to my friends house all games display perfectly, but both of my tvs give the shadow http://www.dextrose.com/ubb/frown.gif I think it is something to do with the tv not supporting the latest version of ntsc as some older ntsc games also display ok ie wipeout 64, , you might want to try patching the video tables using paladin (available here) I dont know as I have mostly pal roms and I mostly use my z at my friends house anyway http://www.dextrose.com/ubb/smile.gif
dunno if this makes sense or not but hope it helps
