Hey y'all, I've finally got this project to a point where it's okay to be shared. Years back XDaniel wrote the original Star Fox 64 Toolkit which would allow someone to decompress/split DMA information on a SF64 ROM, as well as do some rendering of the level data. I played with it some months ago, and I liked it enough that I decided to continue it's development. Hence, the New Star Fox 64 Toolkit.





Right now it's kinda shaky, especially the rendering code, but it should have all the functionality of the prevoius toolkit (CRC fixing/decompressing/DMA splitting & joining/level rendering). This time it's in C# instead of C++, so it's a bit easier to work with. I've got the repo online at github here, so if you're interested you can take a look/make a pull request of your own.

I'm also keeping tabs on a twitter acct. here.

Eventually I'm hoping to allow level/model manipulation from within the Toolkit, but I've got a lot to figure out before then. Still, it's a good start!

Does this only support the US version or does it also support the other regions, like EU, JP and Aus? I can supply the DMA table offsets for these versions if you want.

Sorry about the wait, I've been pretty unreliable the last month or two but I'm working my way back into this!

Actually, I think I only have the DMA offsets for the US version, though I can identify which region the rom is in. If you still are around, I wouldn't mind getting those DMA offsets from you.

Wait, don't you already have them from the old SF64 Toolkit? The last value of each entry there is the DMA table's offset in ROM, i.e. 0xE93C0 for the Japanese version.

Jeez, with that red link text I thought you were angry at first.

Yep, you're right. I wasn't sure what info I had on it already, maybe I got mixed up with the level header offsets in the level dma's. I haven't tested it at all on other regions yet.

Ah, no, it's just CSS, not an anger level indicator or something

I'm pretty sure the various region's offsets are correct. I had a quick look at the Japanese ROM in a hex editor and the data at 0xE93C0 looks fine, and I believe the old Toolkit did work with the various versions... tho it has been years as you mentioned in the OP, so testing the offsets once again would be a good idea.
