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

Attached are all the APS/IPS patch files for the games which did not fail.

Edit: Added IPS archive with CRC filenames.
Edit2: Added APS archive (preferred over IPS for larger ROM size support)
Edit3: Fixed APS archive.

Not all these will work properly due to IPS' filesize limitation. Use APS instead.

If using Everdrive:
- Download NTSC-U-No-Intro_APS_no-AA archive
- Extract all .APS files to SD:/ED64/AUTO/
- Make sure .IPS filename matches your ROM filename ("Mario Kart 64 (USA).z64" and "Mario Kart 64 (USA).aps")
- Turn on Auto-APS from the Z menu
- Start game

Confirmed working on ED64v3.

That was the sound of my jaw hitting the floor. This project really moved fast. Thanks to everyone contributing.

Thanks for the EverDrive patches Poregon, and for setting up a site to host them.

I just tested the patches with my ED64 v2.5. The IPS set works and look beautiful. Many APS-patches load with an "error 0x17 Bad .aps file" error though. I'm using a No-Intro set with proper filenames. Some NTSC-U examples with the error are Goldeneye, Dr. Mario, and Star Wars Ep 1 Racer.

one note about banjo tooie on the ed64.
you can't simply use the gameshark function, if you use LaC's cracked rom.
it has something todo with the way the complex crack works.

if you want to play BT without aa, you need an everdrive 64 with an ultracic II installed, so you can use a clean rom.
with that configuration, you should be able to use gameshark codes, again.

Should work now. Re-download the APS set from the attachment above or the site. I created the APS files wrong.

saturnu, I patched the rom GoldenEye 007 (U) [!] (MD5: 70C52588 0240C1E8 38B8B1BE 35666C3B) with your universal aa-patcher v0.2 beta and the game freezes every time I press start in game to look at the Bond watch. The PAL version works fine though.
