Game Description:
Dr. Mario 64 is a puzzle game for the Nintendo 64.
Hack Description:
"Mario Yisheng", aka "Dr. Mario 64" in other regions, uses emulated EEPROM on iQue. After patching the iQue title, hardware EEPROM is supported on retail N64s. It also corrects alpha on one image and replaces blackface Octo on the select menu to be consistent with the pink palette used throughout the rest of the game.

The patched ROM expects either 4k or 16k EEPROM on its board; CIC is 6102. Up to four controllers are supported.

Apply the xdelta patch using the similarly named xdelta; use version 3.0.8 or up. The patch will only apply to a *decrypted* ROM in native (big-endian) byteorder.

----
This unQue patch series is directed at restoring save support and reversing library changes in iQue titles so they function reliably on retail consoles and a wider range of emulators--at the expense of breaking iQue support.
