64DD Disk Viewer

Lets you view blocks of your disks. Does not work properly on Everdrive 64 v3 due to odd hardware behavior.

leoulx

Internal Tool

Hidden within dn, the tool that fixes blue disks defects from the official N64 SDK, leoulx has been found by jrra.
It is an official tool that tests everything on the 64DD. It is very useful for emulation tests, but also for real hardware tests.

Gray version is made for the retail 64DD drive and gray disks.
Blue version is for the development 64DD drive and blue disks.

Does not work properly on Everdrive 64 v3 due to odd hardware behavior.

IPL4ROM

N64 SDK

IPL4ROM is the ROM file usually uploaded to the Partner-N64 (usually with DISK cartridge plugged in) to boot blue development disks.
It's possible to run it on a flashcart for the same purpose. Taken from the N64 SDK files.

The JPN & USA Hacks are made by Zoinkity, to include the fonts and sounds so it doesn't require the DISK cartridge to see the errors, and also the English interface for the USA Hack.

I would suggest to dump your blue disk first, in case booting it may destroy some saved data.

Does not work properly on Everdrive 64 v3 due to odd hardware behavior.
