Rev A N64 Roms

[thekingofclearwater]

May I ask why many pf the roms have Rev A duplicates ?
Are these later versions with glitches taken out ?
for example WWF No Mercy
has WWF NO Mercy USA
and
WWF NO Mercy USA (Rev A)

sorry if this is a silly question ... I am new

No idea why you posted this in EP LP.

Can be anything really whatever the reason those are just re-releases though, some later revisions may not be bug fixes though but might be something like a logo change or an addition to the credits roll or removal of blood or scenes that may be deemed inappropriate while some yes will be game fixes like rare bugs ect, some systems these revisions will add new security though as well as any other revisions

I tend to go for later revisions myself on the off chance of it being a bug fix as far as emulation goes though you may need to go with an older revision instead depends what the revision done

P.S. N64 emulation is not the greatest (Some games run great other will not play nice some are just bugged, a few will need the settings played with) so you may want to go with another system at least for the multi platform releases anyway

will they run buggy if i put them on an everdrive instead of an emulator ?

everdrive 64 is a gods send

though a few games will need patching before they will work

Most games run just perfect via the Flash kit there is only the odd Jap game that requires extra hardware that was built into the cart and Pokemon Stadium 2 I think it was that will not operate correctly via the kit, something to do with it taking up to much flash storage and the save type it uses so you can have it running perfect but unable to save or have the correct save setup for the game but then not all the game data is stored in the ram causing graphical errors, unless someone has patched the game since to use a different kind of save system

Do note that some games do require that extra ram (Expansion Pak) in the N64 system think it is only 3 games that require it though and a handful that can use it but it is not required

If you need more information on the patches ect let me know I can point those out for you
