Converter

Hello,

Is there any type of program to convert a N64 rom file to a self applaction? If so can somebody tell me(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)

No there isn't I'm afraid. In future could you post things like this in the correct forum (as you can tell, it has nothing to do with PJ64).

O yes sorry, I changed my question I was going to say for future use maby the creator of PJ 64 could add that feature or something as a request. Once agian sorry.

I wouldnt think that would be a good idea, because then someone might get mad for converting games into EXEs. Then we fall under the copyright laws for the games, etc, etc. I am not diggin into this:doh:

O. HEHEHE didin't think ov that. :blush:

It would be useless anyway...i mean, the emulator *runs* the game, so why should it *make* the *rom* a game?

I asked something like this two month ago in the PJ64 forum, and it seems it is useless as soon as the n64 is not perfectly emulated. An emulator is the best way for make changes quickly in the graphics or in the core, with a plugin system, better than recompile youre game every two days.
BUT, if someone interest to this, a GameBoy (or maybe GBA) translator would be possible. the code would be:

while(index < rom.lenght)
{ readOpCode;
translate OpCode;
}
run recompiledRom;

This system has been done with other systems, I don't remeber wich. And you can ever for the GB translate the GB-asm code to a GB-C code (it would be easier) and then compile the C code with GBDK.

You can do exacly the same thing with a N64 - theorically. The N64 is very complex, and only Corn was is his first versions a recompiler - after not. And remeber that translate a game from PSX to PC, for example, take 3 month to the originals programmer, with the source code. So with only an incomplete asm code...

I'd rather convert the models, maps, ..... ect from n64 games into milkeshap or other modeling program formats :satisfied
