→Animal Forest Translation Error: State of N64 emulation.
== Animal Forest Translation Error ==
== Animal Forest Translation Error ==
Playing the non-translated version of Animal Forest (called Doubutsu no Mori) works fine, however, when I applied the translation patch to translate the game into English, it doesn't run. It works using Project 64 on PC however, so I know the rom is good. Any hints as to why this is? [[User:Rockguy32|RockGuy32]] 02:45, 11 June 2011 (CEST)

:Sorry for the late reply, but there could be a number of reasons. Firstly, it's worth noting that "works on Project64" isn't the same as "good". N64 emulation at present uses methods which are highly inaccurate to the way a real N64 worked, and ROM hacks are tailored to work for that environment. It's not uncommon for a hack to work great on the emulator it was tailored for, but not at all on a different emulator or even real hardware. It could be that Mupen64 (the core of Wii64) is "too accurate" to run the hack. Or it might not be accurate enough, or just accurate in the wrong areas for compatibility with a hack aimed at PJ64 usage. Basically, at this point in N64 emulation history, hacks aren't reliable in terms of cross-compatibility. This one might work in the future, but it also might never work. You're probably best off just playing it wherever it does. [[User:Vague Rant|Vague Rant]] 04:47, 5 November 2011 (CET)
