Mario no photopie protected ?

[olivieryuyu]

Are there even 64DD disk images available?

i don't think so. I tried to buy a 64dd but it's very expensive. here a link on the 64dd very interesting: http://www.64dd.net/

and it's right that Mario no photopie doesn't use 64DD (but Mario Artist yes).

well i 'm digging up this thread ...

did someone have a small idea to fool the smart media ?

it don't know if there is anything to do with this game but well ...

snapsot's message is:
SmartMedia is ejected.
Please restart N64


and UP is Mario no photopie.
Down is 64DD Capture Cassette

 

[olivieryuyu]

ok thanks for the photos

so there is 64DD Capture Cassette, this game requires so the 64DD

i thought it was Mario Artist who need it (?)

Mario no photopie unsupported Mario Artist.
and Mario Artist unsupported Mario no photopie...

 

[Butters]

What a weird game :doh:

 

[olivieryuyu]

Mario no photopie unsupported Mario Artist.
and Mario Artist unsupported Mario no photopie...

sorry i'm unsure to get the point ? can you be more clear ?

 

[Trotterwatch]

I think he is saying that neither of the games supported each other, ie you couldn't use Mario Artist with Mario no photopie, and vice versa.

 

[olivieryuyu]

yeah i suppose so

Anyway is there a way to avoid the smart media issue ?

That's really cool! It seems as if the author of Nemu experimented with 64DD support at one time or something. really cool though!

I believe that warning screenshot (on the previous pages) says something to the effect of "The Smart Media protection has failed. Please turn off the power and fix the problem." (?)

 

[olivieryuyu]

ok i have Mario no photopie and i played it a bit: even without a SD cart, the game is working. And there is a mini game that is playable without a SD cart. So it's a protection afaik.

 

[olivieryuyu]

hmm it's more a I/O problem than a protection. the program is asking for the sd media reader, don't find it, so there is a warning. Just have to say yes there is a sd media reader but say there is no sd cart in the cartbridge and it should work

:bouncy: arty: :icecream:

and yes there was a problem of bad dump afaik :happy:

here what i get now with Mupen:

 

[Trotterwatch]

I've gotten past that screen btw, I think it was in Nemu

 

[olivieryuyu]

I've gotten past that screen btw, I think it was in Nemu

yes if you press start you can go a bit futher with Mupen too

 

[Trotterwatch]

Mupen 0.4 or 0.5? If it's 0.4, then it has definately fixed something

 

[Gent]

sorry to disappoint but this is the original Rom taken on mupen so i guess the new one is no dif

 

[olivieryuyu]

hmm ok i used Mupen wip.

but the good dump had been dumped recently

the [!] is bad dump and there is few bits of difference

it's like Jikkyou G1 stable that had been redumped: only few bits of difference but with 1964 the loops problem is fixed for instance

Anyway that don't solve anything about the problem of Mario no photopie

re

Hi,

I am not sure, but when I played the Game on my Pal N64 using Doc V64 jr, I think this bomb screen was not displayed.

On Pal N64 you can "play" it with heavy flickering screen and enter some menus.

 

[olivieryuyu]

yes i heard it's not displayed with a backup unit

which means that is not a cart issue but an emu issue
