Can some one help me with z64 games?

[Sinister]

Hi there,

im having trouble running a few ROMS i downloaded. Now i have both Pj64 and 1964. They run most of my games.

but a few of my games dont run on either. The things these games have in common is that they are not .v64, they are .z64

i was wondering if they belong to a specific emulator, or can i do something to make them run.

Z64
One standard N64 ROM file extension, indicates Big Endian byte order.

Roms .z64 should work, it works for me.

Z64 : Mr. Backup Z64 (not interleaved) N64 ROM file.
V64 : Doctor V64 (and compatibles/interleaved) N64 ROM file.
:p
It should work anyway as jv9 said, but if want to convert it to v64, try ucon64 (http://ucon64.sourceforge.net/). There's also an easier way to convert it, with Aldo's UnFlip 1.0 (http://aldostools.com/index2.html)

Just curious, what's the difference between interleaved and not interleaved?

[jv9]

(I think) the non-interleaved memory uses a different memory controller which doesn't support interleaving.

On the ROM context, I understand interleaving as a method to map physically different ROM banks as a only logic one, to speed up accesses.
