Nintendo 64 ROM utility written in Go.
- ls - List information about all ROMs in a directory
- info - Show information about a single ROM
- convert - Convert a ROM file to the native (Z64, Big-endian) format
- validate - Validate the ROM's SHA-1 checksum against a list of known-good ROM dumps.
List ROM files in a given directory. By default, output is in a human-readable table.
-o,--outputDefaults totablebut can also betext,json,csv,tab,xml-c,--columnsDefaults to most useful columns. Can be a comma-separated list, or specified multiple times.
When using table, csv, or tab format, checksums are calculated if the column is requested with -c | --columns.
When using text, json, or xml format, by default no checksums are calculated because of the CPU overhead.
To calculate checksums in these modes, request them using the -c | --columns flag.
rom64 ls . --output text --columns file_md5,file_sha1,file_crc1,file_crc2
Available columns
| Column ID | Description |

}Converts a ROM from a non-native format to the native big-endian Z64 format.
After conversion, the new ROM's SHA-1 checksum is validated against a known
list of good checksums, same as in the validate command.
Computes the ROM file's SHA-1 checksum and validates it against a list of known-good checksums from a "datfile".
Checksums only work on files in the native Big-endian (Z64) format.
The binary includes a recent version of the datile from dat-o-matic.
If you want to use your own, specify it with the --datfile flag.
$ rom64 validate ~/Downloads/n64/Tsumi\ to\ Batsu\ -\ Hoshi\ no\ Keishousha\ \(Japan\).z64
Found 1 datfile entries for ROM serial 'NGUJ'
SHA-1 MATCH 581297B9D5C3A4C33169AE0AAE218C742CD9CBCF "Tsumi to Batsu - Hoshi no Keishousha (Japan).z64"
With this flag, after a ROM's hash has been validated against the datfile, the ROM file will be renamed to match what's in the datfile, if it doesn't already.
$ rom64 validate --rename-validated sm64.z64
Found 1 datfile entries for ROM serial 'NSME'
SHA-1 MATCH 9BEF1128717F958171A4AFAC3ED78EE2BB4E86CE "Super Mario 64 (USA).z64"
Renaming "sm64.z64" => "Super Mario 64 (USA).z64"
