Rom Hacks

A ROM hack that only changes the game's assets (its audio, textures, models or text), such as an uncensored patch that restores the bleeped words, plays like the US ROM. The recompiled code only comes from the ROM's code, which has to be the US ROM's, so hacks that change the game's code are refused.

The launcher's Version option says which ROM is in play, with its region (for example Version: US Original or Version: US Uncensored), and so does the window's title. Add ROM loads another: pick the hack's .z64, and it's put in play. After that, selecting Version switches between the ROMs you've loaded. Other regions' ROMs (such as the European one) are refused, with a message naming the region. Each is kept in rom_versions/ in the data folder (64 MB apiece). Saves are shared between them.
