    Question Trouble with a N64 Rom

    Hello EP, recently, I have acquired the "Bomberman Hero (USA)" Rom from : http://www.emuparadise.me/Nintendo_6...ro_(USA)/39628 and aside from a bit of lag in certain areas, the game has been running perfectly fine up until this one point in the game, where it just seems to crash, no matter what sequence of events lead up to it. Its about 3/4 through the game, on the Mazone Star planet, second area, first stage; Snowland where a few feet from your spawn point, there is a snowman enemy chucking snowballs at you; moving a few feet past the snowman will instantly crash the game (Does not matter whether you kill it or not) and I've been just baffled trying to figure this out. Now, the emulator I am currently using isn't a PC one, rather, its a Nintendo Wii emulator, named Wii64 Beta 1.1 "Honey" , found here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/mupen64gc/downloads
    I am also using the Homebrew channel, and made sure everything is configured correctly, the error screen I get when the game crashes is this: http://i.imgur.com/zZ4HSC4.jpg
    All other roms that I used worked fine (With the exception of Paper Mario (http://www.emuparadise.me/Nintendo_6...o_(USA)/40078) where the screen just flickers and lags all the time).
    Help is greatly appreciated.
    Edit: I just tried a few more N64 roms to see if it was the emulator, and it might be it, as when I tried Bomberman 64, it gave a black screen, though the GUI was still there, and Bomberman 64: The second offense, the game crashed with the same error screen. Might there be any other good 64 Emulators, or a way to progress with my current one?

    Will move this thread to the correct location after my first shift if no one else has by then

    Anyway both the issue games are officially emulated on the Wii anyway via the Wii Nintendo 64 Virtual Console

    So all you need are the Wad files for those games and either install them to your Wii's Nand or to your USB HDD to a Virtual Nand, the latter is preferable as N64 games do take up a fair amount of Nand space that is limited on the Wii itself but as a virtual Nand you have as much space as you do via USB

    No Problem

    I moved the thread from Everything Emulation that is mostly for PC users though we do get the odd Mac user there also
    I placed it in Everything Console that is for Console user issues including running emulators on such systems

    If you have problems finding those games let me know (not looked but should have those sat on one of my external HDD's anyway)

    If you want to know more about Virtual Nand then take a look at http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?83529

    I've looked up many videos for how to do this, however, I can't find any that work anymore, or have working download links. How might I install the Wad files to my Wii's Nand?

    Edit: Oops, my bad, didn't see the link till just now, sorry about that lol.
