Showdown 64

[KWG]

Hello Everyone I am new to the forum and just discovered this incredible project. I have 2 quick questions. Does anyone know if it is possible to somehow make Showdown 64 work on Retropie(Its an emulator frontend that works on a RaspberryPi3)?. Im going to assume the answer is no since the instructions on the first page state this is only compatible with Project 64 whereas Retropie n64 emulators use Mupen64/gles2n64/gles2rice/Gliden64. If that is the case then my 2nd question is what is the best way to play this on a TV without connecting a laptop/desktop to TV via HDMI? or is there other device out there (say like Android TV for example) that is capable of playing/using Project 64 and this mod? Im going to set this up on my laptop but am just curious if there is any other device capable of running this mod that connects directly to the tv via hdmi besides the aforementioned?

I've seen people get mods to work on Mupen 64 for Android. However, it was using Rice plugin, while this project uses Jabo 1.7, a plugin that is exclusive to Project 64. You may however run older projects made for Rice, as you just need to figure out how to change the save on Retropie, install the proper cheat file, and the texture pack. However there's a port of Project 64 for Android right now, but I'm not sure if it has texture pack option, or works with modified roms, and there's also the fact that it was reported that it runs poorly compared to Mupen, but you could try to mess with it, if you have a android box like Odroid or something. If you try, shoot me a PM in case you need help. Good luck.

Well, your best option is connecting the PC to your TV, yes, however if you have a android box or device compatible with HDMI, then you may try the aforementioned port of Project 64 for Android.

Hey man thank you for the (Detailed) response and for offering help! It is greatly appreciated! I actually just downloaded the Android version of Project 64 for use on my Galaxy s7e however it is a very basic version of Project64 and it does NOT have the texture pack option let alone cheats which is understandable given how early of build it is for android so that combined with the reported performance problems made me uninstall it from my phone. Perhaps the android version of Project 64 will be a viable option in a few years/months but as it stands right now it simply isn't viable. I would be more interested in trying to get this to run on my RaspberryPi3/Retropie but being that it is based on Jabo 1.7 which as you stated is exclusive to Project 64 and not any of the emulators in Emulationstation(Retropie) it seems highly unlikely.

As it stands right now I guess I will just install this on my laptop and plug it into the tv via HDMI and then play via PS4 Controller via bluetooth. You stated that I may be able to run older projects that are rice based on Retropie and I am interested in checking those out and giving it a shot. Which projects in particular would you recommend me trying? As far as hacks on Retropie go the most I have done was load up the translated Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 and I have that working flawlessly. Im fairly certain I could figure out how to change the save on retropie but installing the proper cheat file and the texture pack sounds like something that would be very difficult. I consider myself an advanced user but in terms of linux/command line im definitely a noob. Do you think its feasible to try older projects/mods for WWF No Mercy on Retropie or should I just stick to stock/Vanilla No Mercy on Retropie and Showdown 64 on Laptop?

I think it's really up to you. But I'd say stick to Vanilla No Mercy.

Well, I kind of lost interest on this fucking mod after trying it over and over again. This just don't work properly. And, after you all start loosing the thread and talk off top of your fucking heads, I already read the goddamn instructions, more than three times, so don't you even test my patience with shit like "read the instructions", "it is all in the instructions", fuck you, clearly it is not, if it was there would be only "Thanks" and fucking "Congrats" on this forum. And, also, don't advise me to go read the whole forum, I know that probably someone already putted effort on clarifying the doubts of some other one, but, as obvious as it is, there's no fucking way I'll go read the whole goddamn forum, I got better books on my shelves.

This mod has been downloaded over ten-thousand times.

You are one of less than a dozen that can't get it to work.

I don't recall you starting a help thread showing screenshots of your settings and specs to show us exactly where the problem could be. At no time were you told to "read the entire forum". Stop throwing a childish temper tantrum. I dislike your attitude.

Thanks for taking the time to complain about not getting this to work. It's a shame, because the thousands of people that HAVE, have been able to have one of, if not THE best WWF No Mercy experiences.

Here's a crying towel, kid. I don't get paid to do this and your complaints accomplish nothing.

edit: Banned. Get off my lawn, kid. For someone who swears he read the first post three times, you missed the part about this NOT being a troubleshooting thread.

So is the game dead since you're not making showdown 2?

I am still working on an update but progress is slightly slower since I started teaching this year. My progress is also temporarily on hold right now because I am currently in the middle of a hurricane in Florida right now.

Really glad to hear this. I've never posted but have lurked for quite a while and want to say how much I love the mod. I play nearly everyday and it's really rekindled my love for No Mercy.

Hope all is well with yourself and your family during the storm.

Have you ever thought about putting together a crowd funding for Showdown? Not sure on the legalities but I bet there would be enough players to give you some sort of reward for your hard work.

He could do a patreon and do request for money. He could also show off mod previews for views on YouTube. That's how this super Mario 64 guy got viewers (even tho its super Mario 64)

We'll be finishing up details on this project in due time, but everyone working on it has either real-world obligations at the moment, or are working on other projects.

here's another epic match for you guys:

BTW, I bug I found while playing this death match:

If you accidentally grab the ring steps the floor boards in the corner will keep spinning around in a circle lol!!! Don't know if there is a way to fix that or not yet!!

 

[bluntfello]

That actually sounds like an awesome but. Just texture mod the floor boards to look like blades and watch them spin!

 

[christobassabu]

i was able to glitch to the outside of the cage. once i was outside, the AI was able to jump over the top rope outside the cage. i forget how this match ended. probably with a crash.

NVM I figured out how to edit textures now. Is there a way to add more belts?

wasn't there an update to this game not too long ago? i swear, it was like showdown 64 2.0 or something.

anyways, i still support this mod. it is probably the best one right now.

The spiritual sequel to Showdown is in development. We will not be making an official thread until we deem enough work has been done.

It will be 100% better than the original. We are making it from the ground up.

Can anyone tell me how to get around the "unhandled exception has occurred" error AFTER I hit the apply button? ... I know you can hit continue before you get to this point but hitting continue at the point I am receiving the error does not patch the rom it just takes away the error dialogue box and sits there .... thanks in advance.

---

I know I am kind of late to the game but can I ask a question about adding the new updated cheats? ...

so, for example:

the part 1 and part 2 of the showdown64\interface\select screen\portrait size and placement updated cheats I have copied and pasted each one in part 1 the correct way but when it comes to part 2 ... do you just continue where you left off with part 1 so for example I will show you what I mean


copied and pasted from part 1 here:

Cheat410="Showdown 64\Interface\Select Screen\Portrait Size and Placement",D1045844 001A,81106E44 3F98,D1045844 001A,81106E44 3F98,D1045844 001A,812BE920 BE00,D1045844 001A,812BEAB8 BE00,D1045844 001A,812BEC50 BE00,D1045844 001A,812BF008 BE00,D1045844 001A,812BF1A0 BE00,D1045844 001A,812BF338 BE00,D1045844 001A,812BE898 C1DF,D1045844 001A,812BEA30 C1DF,D1045844 001A,812BEBC8 C1DF,D1045844 001A,812BEF80 C1DF,D1045844 001A,812BF118 C1DF,D1045844 001A,812BF2B0 C1DF,D1045844 001A,812BE810 C260,D1045844 001A,812BE9A8 C260,D1045844 001A,812BEB40 C260,D1045844 001A,812BEEF8 C260,D1045844 001A,812BF090 C260,D1045844 001A,812BF228 C260,D1045844 001A,812BE924 C1FF,D1045844 001A,812BE89C C1FF,D1045844 001A,812BE814 C1FF,D1045844 001A,812BEEFC C1FF,D1045844 001A,812BEF84 C1FF,D1045844 001A,812BF00C C1FF,D1045844 001A,812BE9AC C080,D1045844 001A,812BEA34 C080,D1045844 001A,812BEABC C080,D1045844 001A,812BF094 C080,D1045844 001A,812BF11C C080,D1045844 001A,812BF1A4 C080,D1045844 001A,812BEB44 41C0,D1045844 001A,812BEBCC 41C0,D1045844 001A,812BEC54 41C0,D1045844 001A,812BF22C 41C0,D1045844 001A,812BF2B4 41C0,D1045844 001A,812BF33C 41C0
Cheat410_N=
Cheat410_O=

so my question is for the part 2 ... do we just pick up and copy and paste each code right after part 1 ended at 812BF33C 41C0,
or do we go down past cheat410_O= and name it 411= showdown64\interface\ etc. and copy and paste each code for part 2 there? ....

if the ladder is the case do we need to go in and rename all of the rest of the numbers since they are in numerical order in the .cht file? bc. that is ALOT lol .... anyways just wanted to do it the correct way and honestly didn't know. thanks in advance for any replies on this!
