Super Smash Bros.: unQue Nintendo Mingxing Daluan Dou

"Nintendo Mingxing Daluan Dou", alternately "Super Smash Bros." or "Nintendo All-Star! Dairantou Smash Brothers" in other regions, uses emulated SRAM on iQue. Functions to check if a Rumble Pak is present and send it values were stubbed. After patching the iQue title, hardware SRAM and controller slot devices will function on retail N64s.

The patched ROM expects a 256k SRAM on its board; CIC is 6103. Rumble Paks are supported.

Apply the xdelta patch using the similarly named xdelta; use version 3.0.8 or up. The patch will only apply to a *decrypted* ROM in native (big-endian) byteorder.

This unQue patch series is directed at restoring save support and reversing library changes in iQue titles so they function reliably on retail consoles and a wider range of emulators--at the expense of breaking iQue support.

.: Introduction :.
This unQue patch series is directed at restoring save support and reversing library changes in iQue titles so they function reliably on retail consoles and a wider range of emulators--at the expense of breaking iQue support.
For the sake of emulators/flashcarts that look at GUID codes to differentiate these patches from retail titles, a GUID and timestamp were added. The device type is set to "B" for "BB Player" (not "Q"), and region to "C" for China or "W" for Taiwan/Hong Kong. Internal names are encoded using codepage 936 (normally CP 932). This information is not used by console. Bootstraps (IPL3) are swapped to match their retail counterparts; iQue does not, in fact, run this code, and many use the "development" IPL tied to a CIC.

"Nintendo Mingxing Daluan Dou", alternately "Super Smash Bros." or "Nintendo All-Star! Dairantou Smash Brothers" in other regions, uses emulated SRAM on iQue. Data is loaded into the top of RDRAM and flushed back later. Functions to check if a Rumble Pak is present and send it values are stubbed. The BB Hack flags allowed mirroring the main controller to a port of your choice.

The patched ROM expects a 256k SRAM on its board; CIC is 6103. Rumble Paks are supported.


.: Patching :.
Apply the xdelta patch using the similarly named xdelta; use version 3.0.8 or up. The patch will only apply to a *decrypted* ROM in native (big-endian) byteorder.
(The process for extracting your console's tickets and decrypting an extracted ROM are well outside the scope of this readme.)

.: Notes :.
*) Not all changes to the standard library are reversed, only those which directly affect operation or expose iQue-specific registers to emulators (console won't be affected, but emus may throw errors). This includes rewriting system initialization, controller pak detection, preNMI, and most dedicated save-related functions to some degree. Other code is already isolated when iQue hardware is not detected.
*) The "no controller" is fully localized to Chinese, complete with iQue unit in the background.
*) iQue removed the 6103 CIC checks. They read 256 bytes from IPL3 and check the state of the RSP.
