Game Description:
Super Mario 64 is an action/platform game for the Nintendo 64 released in 1996. Mario's first game on the N64 and his first 3D game, it is praised for its transition from 2D to 3D and is considered one of the best 3D platformers ever made.
When Bowser steals all the power stars and Princess Peach, Mario must go though the castle and collect the missing stars and save the princess.
Hack Description:
"iQue Mario", "Super Mario 64" in other regions, uses emulated EEPROM on iQue. Built from the "shindou" version, functions to check if a Rumble Pak is present and send it values were stubbed. After patching the iQue title, hardware EEPROM and controller slot devices will function on retail N64s.

The patched ROM expects a 4k EEPROM on its board; CIC is 6102. Rumble Paks 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.
