P64 error with unidentified ROMs

[FlotsamX]

I put two ROMs that P64 can't identify into my ROMs directory. Since I saw that P64 wanted to say that just because they couldn't identify it, it's a bad ROM, I went into settings to change it, but when I went out of the settings menu, the P64 menu dissapeared, and a black screen replaced it. I tried reinstalling it, but the SAME THING happened. Help?

BTW, the 2 ROMs that were the culprits for this error are

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Gamecube Collector's Edition)
A re-encrypted version of the Nintendo 64 DD BIOS

Note: I am NOT talking about the Master Quest, I'm talking out the regular OOT on the disc.

can you post the rom info screen so i can check the rdb and create an entry for you. if its needed.

 

[FlotsamX]

Rom Name: THE LEGEND OF ZELDA
File Name: Legend of Zelda, The: Ocarina of Time (GC Collector's Edition)
Rom Size: 256.0 MBit
Cartridge ID: ZL
Manufacturer: Nintendo (Currently, it says "unknown"
Country: USA
CRC1: 0xF2DD34BA
CRC2: 0x4151E075

Will this fix it, because this is preventing me from playing the games.

try this


[F2DD34BA-4151E075-C:45] //New entry in RDB 1.6x BETA13
Good Name=Legend of Zelda, The - Ocarina of Time - Collector's Edition (U) (GC Version)

you will need to check to see whether the subscreen delay fix works. else i'll need to create a new one.

Umm... I have to say, I'm not what you would call well-read on this kind of thing. Where exactly would I put all this info?

 

[Agozer]

In the Project64.rdb file.

 

[FlotsamX]

How do I open the .rdb file?

EDIT: By checking "use ROM browser" and isolating the suspect ROMS, P64 has returned to normal. I think I'll keep them in a separate folder from now on. XP

 

[Agozer]

Open the file in Notepad, Wordpad or whatever text editor you happen to be using.

 

[FlotsamX]

Well: that didn't work. Do you need to change the font to match the other entries? I also didn't put it in any specific place, does it need to be arranged in any way?

 

[squall_leonhart]

you need to refresh the rom list after updating the RDB for the changes to take effect

... I did, I'm not stupid.
