PAL N64/VC OoT Thread

[mzxrules]

I feel bad for NTSC-U people because they're one byte away from having an NTSC-J version.

Want to just point out that the textures themselves are identical in size, they are just being scaled slightly differently.

Is it just me or is the fire wall during Ganon 2 just barely passable without crashing the game? I can consistently pass the fire on NTSC-J N64 1.0, but usually crash it on PAL64.

Is this known? Is there a way round this? I've tried putting Ganon further away and off screen while picking up the sword, rolling past it, back-walking past it, side-hopping, trying to have less things on screen to reduce lag, and nothing really seems to make a difference.

Yeah that seems to be a common problem. Idk if there's anything you can do about it.

I've had the same problem, thought it was because I was practicing on emu but maybe not. I worked out a setup since Link's position seems to be consistent after picking up the sword: neutral roll twice, then 3 sidehops left (at least that's what my notes say, not practised recently). It's messed up that PAL needs a setup to not crash the game from something which should have no effect.

Set-up works, thank you!

I usually hold right when I'm picking up the Master Sword in the Ganon fight, switch to up-right after passing Zelda and roll at full speed once to make it past.

Some updates:

pressure jump and megaflip in Lost Woods - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw4d303slDk

Apparently, the floating mechanics on PAL are different. You seem to have a higher upwards speed when swimming in water (I haven't tested diving or Iron Boots).

Any ideas why this occurs? I listed possible effects of that difference in the video description/comments.
