Patcher64+ Tool

*Please move this in the proper section of the forum if required*

A new tool I have been working upon for the past months. It's the next iteration of what was previously known as the Zelda 64 UHD - WAD Patcher and SM64 USA VC Patcher. This new patcher combines both Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Super Mario 64 and a lot more games for the Virtual Console or their regular console format. The patcher mostly works with USA WAD or ROM files in mind. In additional it also works directly on Nintendo 64, NES and SNES ROM files.

The Patcher64+ Tool can switch to either Wii VC or Native mode. Wii VC mode handles VC WAD titles while Native mode handles Nintendo 64 (.N64, .Z64 and .V64), NES (.NES) and SNES (.SFC and .SFM) ROMs directly. Native Mode basically skips most of the code used in Wii VC mode therefore. Wii VC mode only handles N64, NES and SNES titles on the Wii VC currently.

Besides applying patches, the Patcher64+ Tool also offers customization to a few select titles such as Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Want a Hero Mode? Sure! Want the cut content from the Japanese release back? We got ya! Want to streamline the experience a bit more by removing some of the tedium? We got that too!

List of credits are accessible within the Patcher64+ Tool.

Note

Chances are that some bug or errors exist. Testing is a cruel task. If you do encounter some kind of error or bug, please let me know about it and I post a fix for it when I can.
