Hey everyone, I was working on getting SM64 Randomizer to work on Wii VC, and along the way I decided to look into that annoying darkness issue that SM64 and some other VC games have. The fix is very simple to do, so I figured I would share it here.
Whether or not this fix would be allowed for leaderboard qualification is up to the mods, but since this is beneficial to game enjoyment regardless of leaderboards, here's how you do it.
- Unpack your SM64 wad (I use a program called ShowMiiWads)
- Open 00000001.app in a hex editor
- Search for the hex "00 00 00 BE 00 00 00 BE 00 00 00 BE". There should only be one search result. In my file, the location is at hex offset 0x16B0B0.
- Replace each BE with FF and save the file.
- Repack the wad and you're done.
Enjoy!

Changing the colour scheme on your capture card wouldn't change the colour setting on your TV.
Is there any chance that any discoveries made could get Usamune to run on Wii VC?
We would like to announce that VC and EMU subcategories are now active on the Stage RTA leaderboards (under "Levels"). Stage RTA involves collecting all the stars in a given stage including the 100 coin star. Timing starts on star select and ends upon collecting the final star. You are allowed to us
