I tested it with 1964. When I did, the sound was all choppy and the menu was running slow and glitchy. Isn't there like a program that fixes bad roms or something? I saw one a while ago. I know that this isn't a bad rom, but i have different roms with bad cores, etc....
Is an (E) rom a totally different file? Is there a way for me to change the (U) to an (E)?

I was just asking in general if there was a program that could fix some of my roms.
It is possible to fix roms, but not change the region (hacking the header would not produce an (E) rom if someone mentions that).
See: http://www.smiff.clara.net/utilities/rom/index.htm#fixing
Bare in mind that some of these patches are outdated, in which case the rom is unfixable.

Yeah, thats what I was looking for. Thanks.
Wait, does this just make the files into [!] or can it actually fix a rom with problems?

The [!] means a dump that is 100% identical to the data contained within an N64 cartridge. Any other dodgy tag (like [b3], [t2], [f1] etc.) means the rom has been altered in some way so that it is no longer identical. These altered roms are known as bad dumps. Bad dumps are not recommended for use with emulators as they may mess up at any point/not even work at all. So when you are "making the roms into [!]" you are fixing it.
Having (or using) just [!] roms with emulators is good practice, but does not ensure that games will work perfectly, since games usually have known issues with graphics plugins or the core itself that are not fixed by having a [!] rom.
