Multiple save types

Run the test ROM

Download or compile the ROM file and load it as you would any other N64 ROM.

This ROM file has been tested to work on real Nintendo 64 hardware using the EverDrive-64 by krikzz and 64drive by retroactive.

This ROM file should also be compatible with low-level, accuracy-focused Nintendo 64 emulators such as Ares, CEN64 and MAME.

Build the ROM

  1. Install LibDragon and make sure you export N64_INST as the path to your N64 compiler toolchain.
  2. Run make to produce savetest.z64
