queueRAM Wrote:This is a replacement for the M64ROMExtender and adds a few new features. It is written in C and compiles for Windows and Linux 32/64 bit (probably OSX as well, but untested). I released it under the MIT license so it can be included in any of your projects.
By default, it creates a 64MB extended ROM that is bit compatible with the extended ROM that M64ROMExtender1.3B generates and further extended to 64MB (before the patches are applied by SM64 Importer 1.9.2S). I have tested the resulting extended ROMs with SM64 Importer 1.9.2S and Toads Tool 64 v0.6.2S.

New features:M64ROMExtender compatible features:
- configurable extended ROM size (default 64 MB)
- configurable padding between MIO0 blocks (default 32K)
- configurable MIO0 block alignment (default 1 byte)
- option to fill original MIO0 blocks with 0x01
- built-in ROM header CRC computation (non-GPL!)
- works with both US and Japanese ROMs (plays in emulators, but TT and level importer won't work with (J) ROMs)
- small: 12KB binary
- fast: extends in < 0.5 seconds
Usage:
- accepts Z64 (BE) or V64 (byte-swapped) ROMs as input
- fills extended area with fills with 0x01
- inserts 32 KB padding between MIO0 blocks
- decompresses all MIO0 blocks from ROM to extended area
- changes all 0x18 commands to 0x17
- creates MIO0 headers for all 0x1A commands
- updates assembly reference to first MIO0 block
- dumps MIO0 blocks to 'mio0files' directory
Just drag-and-drop SM64 ROM on the executable for default settings or run from the command prompt specifying these options:
Code:
sm64extend [-s SIZE] [-p PADDING] [-a ALIGNMENT] [-d] [-f] [-v] FILE [OUT_FILE]
Options:
Optional arguments:
-s SIZE size of the extended ROM in MB (default: 64)
-p PADDING padding to insert between MIO0 blocks in KB (default: 32)
-a ALIGNMENT byte boundary to align MIO0 blocks (default: 1)
-d dump MIO0 blocks to files in 'mio0files' directory
-f fill old MIO0 blocks with 0x01
-v verbose progress output
File arguments:
FILE input ROM file
OUT_FILE output ROM file (default: replaces FILE extension with .ext.z64)
If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to post them here or on the github project page. Since it is MIT licensed, I welcome you to include the source or binaries in your projects - just include a copy of the license file.
