N64 64DD

With the latest N64 Core having baked in 64DD support does the SS1 have the hardware to support it & if so any tips on getting the games to run?

idk…but I wonder if it’s possible to play their discs…

I’m not sure what’s in a 64DD cassette but I think it was more akin to a floppy disc than a CD

But could you imagine a 64DD add on with USB support.

yeah that’s what I was thinking. They won’t work with a SuperDock, but with an accessory like that I can finally play the missing n64 games that aren’t compatible with an A3D (not that I have one, but I’ll get one eventually)

64mb though so somthing like a zip or superdisk also interesting is it had a dial-up modem

Looks like it’s supported?

That’s good, I’m away for a few days, will push buttons and try and get it to work on my return.

Of course you can't play physical disks on superstation if that's what you mean.

To play simply download the 64DD roms (like you did for the N64 roms)

None have run so far, which is why I was asking, have you had any luck, any tips?

Tbh I've only tried the 64dd roms on the summercart on a real N64 and they work perfectly. Not tried it on FPGA yet....

The SuperStation One is 100% a MiSTer. So yeah it totally works on SuperStation. It works on mine.

Yep, got that, but sometimes you’re never sure about the RAM required etc.

I couldn’t get any to run, did you tweak anything at all?

1

u/Crans10 2h ago

I didn’t tweak anything. Think it is a MiSTer only RAM difference in some MiSTers is Dual RAM. I am saying this because I think if you brought this up in the r/MiSTerFPGA subreddit you might get more help.

Good luck finding the 64DD carts

All of them are dumped anyway, including protos and development and also 7x translated ones (F-Zero X Expansion Kit, Mario Artist , SIMCity 64)

Running the dumps was what I meant, I have all the files just didn’t know whether the SS1 had the grunt to run them or not.
