N64 ROM hacking noob, in need of some assistance

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/romhacking

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • xdelta

    open-source binary diff, delta/differential compression tools, VCDIFF/RFC 3284 delta compression

  • I've tried to find an answer already for this, but can't seem to find one. In forums where people seem to mention this issue or one similar to it, they seem to get directed to xdelta on github but I don't enough about github to be able to use the xdelta patcher there. I apologize if I sound really ignorant on this, but if someone could point me in the right direction or help me fix it or just teach me what I need to do to get past it that would be appreciated.

  • RomPatcher.js

    An IPS/UPS/APS/BPS/RUP/PPF/xdelta ROM patcher made in HTML5.

  • I recently got an Everdrive 64 x7 for my N64 and I haven't really encountered any issues with it so far, that I haven't been able to figure out. I am attempting to add some Japanese exclusive games with the English translation patches from Romhacking. So far I've been able to patch twelve ROMs successfully without any problem and I've tested them and they work great. But for some reason there are some that I keep getting an error every time I try and patch them. These are xdelta patches, so when I try and patch them through Rom Patcher JS I keep getting the error message:

  • WorkOS
