Super Mario 64DD to Cart
Hack of Super Mario 64
Description
The disk build of Super Mario 64 was a hastily-made promotional piece that was little more than a sliced up cartridge ROM (see readme). This patch reassembles the original ROM and switches disk read requests with cart requests. Disk saves are replaced with EEPROM saves, thereby eliminating the two things that made this version at all interesting.

As a bonus, the Wiggler health bug was also corrected so it should be possible to collect all 120 stars.

To distinguish the patched file from other cartridge versions, the internal name reads "SUPER MARIO 64DD", the version is -1, and a timestamp was applied.


Apply the xdelta patch using the similarly named xdelta; use version 3.0.8 or up.
The patch will only apply to a disk image in LBA order, not track order (ndd, not d64) and in its original release state (saving to the disk changes the file). If you've saved data back you may be able to force patching by ignoring data checksums; there's only one of these games in the world after all.

Note the patched file will be much smaller than the disk image: 949D60H / 9739600 bytes.
