Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

My personal collection of Nintendo 64 Romhacks, in an already patched and ready to play ROM format. Most games are patched by myself, but not all are tested. Each .z64 file comes with a text description, copied from the places where I downloaded the Romhacks (but sometimes also from README files, random blogs and other websites too).

  • 207 Romhacks across 38 different games (or across 31 games, depending on how you process data and count).
  • Download one package size: 2.3 GB
  • Unpacked size: 5.7 GB

Both contain same files, just different file structure.

Nintendo 64 emulator compatibility with Romhacks is a bit wonky. Sometimes they work out of the box and sometimes they require specific settings, and other times they just don't work on my setup.

I play Nintendo 64 games with Mupen64Plus-Next core on RetroArch. Two distinct configuration files are included. These Romhacks are quickly tested for compatibility and categorized into one of these setups. The configuration is not required and are included as a reference. There is no guarantee that the included Romhacks will work.
