Sonic Adventure 64 - But does it work on Real Hardware? ft Coury from

- It's been pretty unclear if this Super Mario 64 ROM hack actually works on original hardware. Can it truly handle Sonic's speed? I've now prepared myself with multiple methods to put Sonic Adventure 64 to the test.
A massive thank you to Coury from My Life in Gaming. Check out their UA-cam channel here: / mylifeingaming

Oh wow, I'm surprised that you decided to test this out, haha. I can say that I want the finalized mod to be work on console, but it'll take quite a while.
Cool, looking forward to the finalized mod to play on my Everdrive! 😃
🙂
bruh i can't believe you're still working on it! thank you so much!!
"To be work"
@@Akogiri don't be dick
For future reference, the Japanese and US N64s are 100% identical in every way except the plastic tabs in the cartridge port. The motherboards and components are the same. The everdrive already accounts for every possible tab configuration from nintendo. In other words, if your Japanese unit won't play something, a US one won't play it either. The electric region lockout stuff only differentiates PAL and NTSC. The plastic tabs do the rest.
Wait so does this mean I could buy jp n64 games and play them on my US n64? is there a modification that'd need to be done?
@@Otome_chan311 well they won't fit normally but if you use sandpaper on the tabs inside of the cartridge port then yeah they should work
@@twonkatruck you don't even need to cut or sand anything. You can just open the system and unscrew the plastic piece with the tabs. You can even just save it for later just in case you want to undo the modification for some reason.
@@Otome_chan311 I got a custom 3D printed one to replace the original. I live in a Dusty area. Wouldn't suggest leaving it out.
What about the video output stage? NTSC-J isn't quite the same as regular NTSC. It's close enough that you'll get a picture, but the levels won't quite be right.

"Regrettably getting a North American system would be expensive."
Seriously? When I was a kid I bought around 20 of these n64 systems for prices between $15 - $20 from my local retro gaming store. I was determined to make one into a portable n64.
Many systems died at my hands though...it haunts me to this very day.
Hope that dream comes true someday
No joke I was looking for a funtastic console a little while ago and it was actually cheaper to get one imported from Japan. For whatever reason US N64s are priced like they're made of gold.
The idiots think the NORMAL GREY IS THE ATOMIC SMOKE GRAY PLAY IT LOUD VARIANT...
Much like Nes 001...
that's why they're expensive you bought them all
@@thenerddad3741 Same here in the UK. I saw one a few years ago for £20 in box. Don't know what happened.
Man I like the logo on the older Everdrive a lot more. And it's a shame it didn't end up working on real hardware, it'd be pretty surreal to see it running on an actual N64!
Why dude I didn't get to See the video yet well I guess thats what happens when I look at the comments before I completed the video
I wonder if it requires an different CIC chip... i'm not an expert so please take this with a grain of salt.
Why does e-102 gamma's theme hit the feels so hard. The ending of the song just pulls at my heart especially after his/her stories ending.
Lil billy bob ross Pre-Colours Sonic used to have some heart when it came to the writing of the games and characters, even if they weren’t the greatest around. Yet we called 2002-2007 the Dark Ages.
@@rayvenkman2087 it was a.nice surprise to see sonic be serious and say real truth about chaos and the only true way to defeat him is not to kill him but to show him not to be negative since what he was protecting is at peace. That caught me off guard and helps me realize how good games like those are.
"It's my pleasure. Ready to die"
Also, the real dark ages are the ones we are living in right now.
I think you mean 'it' since it's literally just some metal with AI.
@@rayvenkman2087 by dark ages I think you mean 2006-2006
The 4/8MB thing, as a point of reference, refers to whether or not the Expansion Pak is attached.
More in-depth, the N64 has 4MB of onboard RAM, and the Expansion Pak adds another 4MB onto it, totalling 8MB.

11:22 "I guess you can say... that NintenDON'T." That ending line was so cheesy, I'm having an allergic reaction.
This was an unexpected episode
why does RHS make the introduction of a different region console so dramatic
because they're so expensive
@@GoldenPickaxe True, True
Magnus but at the end of the day it still looks 99% the same
@@lowqualityvideos8091 In this case, that's the joke, hence why I abruptly interrupt it saying, "Sorry, what you're seeing here..."
redhotsonic keep the joke, it’s funny to me and I don’t know why
it's a shame I wasn't able to get it to work on my N64, but at least I was able to capture the title screen popping up. I guess, $15 capture card score 1, Elgato score 0
One thing that is strange though, is that the ossc was constantly reporting 262P, which I believe means that it was sending a constant sync signal, despite the video output being garbage
Yeah, Mario 64 rom hacking was pioneered at a time when N64 emulation wasn't very accurate, so with Super Mario 64 rom hacks a lot of them don't work on real hardware. Kinda like early Super Mario World romhacks in that regards.
Yep... lose timing cycles and inaccurate register emulation.
Sadly i already expected the endresult after reading the title.
Like some guys already said many early Mario 64 Romhacks doesnt work on Real Hardware.
The only Thing that is strange is that the Game showed the Title screen, maybe a simple Patch will run it?
Great Video like allways, iam glad that I found the channel, greetings from Germany :)

The My Life In Gaming bit was amazing... it really captures the charm and feeling of watching one of their videos--and why I subscribe to them
RHS: releases a vid
RHS literally half an hour later: IM IN A GARRULOUS 64 SONIC ADVANCE 3 VID, AND NOBODY CAN STOP ME!!!!
And i am making fucking mac and cheese and nobody can stop me
Hyper the thicc boi wait I remember you-
This has been an enjoyable series so far with all these tests, discoveries, and hardware used in depth.
After watching this, the struggle was totally real. Sorry to hear that this test was unsuccessful for real hardware, and trying as many alternative solutions.
It was good of you to try, however you shouldn't be too disappointed. Most N64 hacks don't work on real hardware as they were made with inaccurate emulators in mind. Best thing to do is contact he author of the hack and see if they'll be willing to tweak it
i wasn't expecting that MLiG to be featured in this video, this is so cool
even though it says in the title?
@@bangerbangerbro i mean i wasn't expecting them to be featured on the series before this video aired
@@TheA_Gamer554 Oh, ok then.
I loved the scene with Corey, it was hilarious. Great work!
That gag about video options had me in stitches! Such a straight, dry, delivery too!
9:00 I love how self-aware this bit is. 😂
Wow you've actually been working hard this was really unexpected and nice
We had sonic adventure 64, and now we have super mario generations 64. What a world we live in
I expect the reason why it glitched out so badly is because the ROM has no PAL compatibility and was only designed for NTSC consoles, therefore it can’t make a proper sync signal on a PAL system.
So, you didn't watch the whole video then.
redhotsonic I did, that was just my theory from before I’d watched the whole thing. It’s a shame it didn’t work at all, it looks like a really cool creation. I’m also really impressed by the amount of effort you went to to get this working! And btw, your conversation with Coury was HILARIOUS
@@redhotsonic could you try sonic 1 kawarino on real hardware pls
Tbh sonic adventure 64 sounds like a bootleg knockoff game.
But the game isn't and in my opinion is pretty decent.
YOU ARE ON EVERY SONIC VIDEO EVER MADE BUDDY
Not really
This dude has got to be someone like Cybershell using an alt account to comment
@Oshabot 16 That's a possibility...
I see you everywhere lol
Nice video! The BDIWORH series is really interesting to watch! In most episodes, watching you yell at your screen and pray that it works was the best. Thanks!
This would probably need to be optimised for real hardware, like SM64 Star Road was.
Hey RHS, how are you? I hope you are well.
We were reviewing the videos on your BDIWORH playlist and we relived this moment with Sonic Adventure 64 who didn't want to cooperate xD
It may no longer be possible, but if by chance you still have one of the Nintendo 64 consoles, you could have your second chance and be able to fulfill that desire of seeing Sonic on the legendary N64.
We don't know if you've seen it, but there is another more updated version of SM64 with our favorite blue hedgehog, you can find it as Mario 64 Sonic Edition (there is a normal version, a Plus version, and both with playable character variants), available for the original N64 and for the PC port.
Maybe if your curiosity and possibilities allow it, you can try it and have your "revenge" with this experience.
Oh.. and of course, if the console doesn't refuse to load it again :P
We wish you the greatest success in everything and may it be a prosperous year for you!
Greetings from the distant lands of Argentina!
:D
Fun fact, probably about only 5% of all SM64 rom hacks will NOT work on real hardware, specifically because they were all designed around emulation. There's only a select few that are plausible, and those are the hacks you'll see on SimpleFlips' channel.
You may have wasted money on two N64's and two Everdrives, but at least we got to see MLiG do some self-deprecated humor!
I'm sure you have a ton of ideas for future episodes, but I'd like to see some SMS hacks since you can check if they work on the SMS and the Genesis. Also, they just deserve a showcase in general because they tend to go under the radar.
Cool video man
My Life In Gaming is so amazing to help us!
US and Japanese N64s are the same so I don't know why you would expect a different result. Just making sure I suppose.
You don’t have enough memory in the memory card
OH I GET THE JOKE.....
Need more memory bud
"Sega does what NintendoN'T",lets you play Sonic Adventure.
This was entertaining especially when the my life in gaming kept going through output options lol
"IT SOOO CLOSE"
"I CAN FEEL IT !"
"I - jk, still got a mile to go"
Oh look, another crossover episode! Always welcome. It's a shame that it doesn't work on real hardware.
I'm pretty sure that no Super Mario 64 hack (or at least most of them) don't work on real hardware.
this series is so fun
This was very interesting to see
The part with Courey from MLiG was my favorite.
In the dreamcast version of sonic adventure , you needed to get 64 rings and then go to the sewer where you collect the shoes ( you can't have any upgrades ) then spindash down there and you should be sonic in mario 64
*I feel like I got clickbaited without actually getting clickbaited*
Coury is one of the funniest men alive. You killed me. Lol
Super Mario 64 Romhacks tend to not work with real hardware due to older hacks being done by actually hacking the rom, nwer romhacks use the decomp project which reduces the amount of crashes significantly, altho its still up to developers hands if they want the game to run well on real hardware.
OH MY GOD I ACTUALLY PREDICTED THIS
Nice Video!
Not what I was expecting but nice!
Although the end result was a bit disappointing, the journey sure was entertaining 👌🏿
I think that he enabled that infamous RCVI hack (or whatever it's called) which breaks real N64 compatibility

“Sega Does what Nintendon’t”
You mean Emulator does what nintendon't?
I'd love to see him try other popular hacks on the N64.
SO GUTTED!
It's a shame that you could not get this game to work on the console. Would have been amazing if it would have worked. Oh well. You win some, you lose some. Next game, please!
Coury is so cool! loved this vid.
Finally a new video :D

But Do You Work On A Real Hardware
Huh wait, can't they use those vertical run pads that let Mario stick to them to do the entire loop? Feels like being on those changes the direction of gravity for the player, so combine that with making the loops act as in engine cutscenes and they could solve that part
THE SUSPENSE!
I have an American N64, the RAM expansion, and an Everdrive 64 v2.5. I was as on the edge of my seat as I could be about a rom hack. Alas
For the My Life in Gaming crowd, I have a custom made shielded S-Video cable passing through a RetroTink 2X and an mClassic. Looks great for unmodded hardware

I thought this video was whack until I saw Cory make an appearance
i got scared for one sec at the end, thought you would toast your money on a rare N64DD accessory.
Puhahaha, nah. At that point I knew it was never going to work. It was totally not worth risking getting one of them for the sake of this hack.
I've problem, you can't write your own disk unless you get one of those development units along with a blue disc
have you tried plugging the AV cables the full way
Nice try! I admire your persistence! 😂
What's the song that plays at 0:24?
Because the sm64 community revered-engineered the game, people have been able to make hacks console compatible for the first time when they’ve never been. We could port it over at some point now
Why didn’t you play the game with the physics codes that gives sonic speed and a spinjump
Interesting but have you tried the Summer 64 Flash Cart instead?
Wait, did you test the other versions to see if they worked?
Some (or most) mario 64 rom hacks were mostly designed to be ran on emulation and never had real console compatibility.
Basted of my knowledge, many Super Mario 64 hacks don't work on real hardware
I got an idea
Maybe if a updated expansion pack was made with more memory?
Well try playing the ROM on your N64 Emulator did you try doing that?
You heared about flashkit cart MD now get ready for.. flashkit cart N64!
One question redhotsonic where did you buy sonic1,2,3 and knuckles
The same errors you'd find on those Zelda Mods with Mario as main playable character. You can't play them on real hardware because most of the codes has changed to be unreadable by the console, or has a ridiculous ROM size usage which makes it impossible to work under N64 limitations (careless, not-so-much-architecture-understanding devs, EMULATION oriented devs, etc).
Aaaaand sometimes some people do this to prevent people on playing it in the actual console (the 2p Mario 64 Co-Op mods do work on real hardware).
Hardware wise, JP and US N64 are identical, rip theirs tabs in the cart slot and either wouldn't recognize the difference between either JP/US carts. If you bypass somehow the PAL lock-out chip though, the console would also play them, but at a lower rate or on the otherwise, games would play faster (I think this was used to cheat in speedruns, lol).
I just realized that everdrives cost more than consoles for which they are made.
It's to bad that it didn't work on real hardware.☹ but it's worth a try. So nice video.🙂
What's the song in 1:14? :0
Did you try to blow into the cartridge?
It works... partially at some extend...
Have you tried to convert the file from a z64 to a n64?
3:18 Best soundtrack hehe
IIRC from the time I was into console modding more than a decade ago, the Japanese and USA N64 are exactly the same except for the position of the indentations in the cartridge slot.
That, and I think the data that's on the cic chip in the N64
The amount of stuff that Coury rattles off is the reason why I don't bother with all the fine details of video output, as yikes there are so many different bits & pieces to work with for just ONE system.
He actually said a few more options but I cut them out of the video =P
*distress*
Corey geeked out!!😂😂😂😂😂
At the beginning where I am, I know the N64 can handle really fast speed because of F-Zero X.
im pretty this mod was made before everdrives came out so tools weren't made to work on console
The link in the description has a date of June 15th, 2015. 4-5 months after everdrive 64 2.x-3.x came out.
The N64 just became Uhhh Dreamcast
We've never seen you test a game on the Dreamcast.
PlasmaPower Dreamcast is too easy to do and have as much protection as Doom 3’s body armour against enemy damage.
Ok, that was Random...
Did you try loading the rom cart copy of Mario 64
PLease try to run corrupted roms of various Sonic games (preferably on cartridge-based consoles to prevent any waste of discs) on real hardware
Considering you did this, will the Sonic port on the NES work on real hardware?
It should, because it was originally released as a bootleg on a cart
If you mean the version based on Somari, then yes it does. I played through the whole thing once on real hardware. No fun was had, tbh.
Now I don't need to test it on my N64. Sorry it won't work on hardware. 😔
