Is it possible to disable anti-aliasing in N64 games via GameShark cheats?

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share that we released our video on this subject this afternoon. Thanks so much for everyone here and the help you provided in making this episode possible! You all are doing cool things here!

When I first started collection retro games, the angry video game nerd - angry nintendo nerd back then, was the reason behind it. After so many years, so many college classes and so many jobs it was left aside.
The RGB series made me turn on my old PVM, give life to my x-rgb mini that was stored away.

This will sound very silly and dumb of me but: thank you for creating this show, it makes me feel good after a shit day of work.

both patches seems to be ok, you can ignore what's happening on 256 - the offsets should be found around line 110.

btw. here is the de-blur bitstream for tims old RGB-DAC, maybe the pinout needs to be altered for the used cpld package.

dreimer on krikzz ed64 forum posted a more complete list including the pal ports, that are failing atm.

The five extra lines of verbose output on the NTSC rom aren't relevant?

Here is a comparison using my Consumer Trinitron (that can handle NTSC)
NTSC Patched | PAL Patched

That list holds up though regardless since the patcher doesn't fail when patching the MM PAL rom and manages to produce a modified rom of sorts.

Browsing the sheet, it looks like most codes are for jp or pal versions, what's up with that?

I need usa codes!

I picked up a Game Shark 3.3 today to play around with these AA off codes, and was initially having problems with trying to get the thing to turn on. I discovered that the reason the games weren't loading was because the carts don't like being pushed down all the way into the Gameshark, and they need a few milimeters of gap between the game cart and the GS in order to be recognized. Just throwing this little discovery out there in case anyone else picks up a GS for this, and are having the same issue.

So far I've gotten to try Smash Bros. and Banjo Kazooie with the AA off codes. They both look great and I look forward to trying more of my library with this technique. Until someone comes out with a video deconvoluter chip for RGB, this is the next best thing.

*EDIT* It might also be caused by the contacts being dirty. Cleaning the top slot on my GS with an N64 cleaning kit fixed the problem completely.

Thank you very much for saying so! It's a lot of work, but we love doing it!

Nice work on the video, as well as the rest of the RGB series! (Actually been watching them even before this thread here; the sync episode especially was pretty enlightening, tho I still don't have the different kinds memorized )

Looking over the list, it seems that the majority of codes were made by mdmx, followed by myself and a few others. And while I obviously can only speak for myself - I am from a PAL country (Germany) so most of the games I own are PAL, with some US and JPN games in between - I'd assume that mdmx is in a similar situation as I am, mostly owning PAL games.

I could theoretically try and create more US codes for games I don't own by using ROMs and the emulator method, but I wouldn't be able to test these (no 64drive, ED64, etc) and I'm not necessarily comfortable with throwing out codes that might not work properly.

I'm sure there's plenty of people here who'd be happy to help test! I've got a Gameshark and a decent number of popular US N64 games.

uu64aap v0.4.0 update

This is just something you can experiment with and have some fun. ^^
I don't think it's very useful nor working with a lot of games.

Try patching Mario 64 -> go through the door of the castle and look at the carpet or the middle stairs.
(compare the -df version with the -kdfl version) ^^

if you are unsure add the -v flag to check, if videolist entries are found and altered.
