These FAQs are meant to support especially newer players with certain challenges or questions that might come up during setup or the first minutes of play. Do you have something to add? Please let us know.
Q: My ROM doesn’t seem to work what’s wrong?
A: The ROM should be a .z64 file (big endian). If it is not .z64 it will not work. Make sure you are not trying to use a ROM with a .n64 or .v64 extension. You will have to use Tool64 here to byteswap your ROM to “Big Endian”: https://www.zophar.net/utilities/n64aud/tool-n64.html Also do NOT re-randomize a already randomized rom.
Q: I renamed my ROM to .z64 but it’s not working?
A: DO NOT RENAME YOUR ROM! It has to be BYTESWAPED using Tool64 for it to work properly!
Q: It says I need the expansion pack when I try to boot! How do I fix this?
A: You need to be sure you are running the game with 8MB of ram (memory) not 4MB. In P64 this can be found in Options > Settings > settings: MAJORAS MASK > Set memory to 8MB
Q: I checked “Wii Virtual Console Channel” but I cannot find my .wad file. Why?
A: Check in your %appdata% folder and the default wad folder with the randomizer.
Q: I’m starting with items I shouldn’t/Why don’t I have Ocarina?
A: You have to make a new save file in the randomizer, you cannot start with an old save made in another seed.
Q: I’m having some weird graphical errors! How can I fix this?
A: This is not a fault of the randomizer or your rom. This is a problem with whatever you are using to play the rom. Either Look up better graphical settings or look into a new method to play. If you have trouble come visit our discord #emulator-support channel we might be able to help.
Q: My emulator has a black screen/won’t load/is not working.
A: Either try another emulator, try a different graphics plugin or download the P64 prebuilt created for playing MM in our discord #resources channel.
Q: How do I randomize UI colors?
A: Right click to see further options.
Q: I saw a stream of someone playing MMR with music from other games, how do I add more music to MMR?
A: Our discord has a #music-customization channel which has a guide on making music, and a bunch of users posting their own music you can use.
