The JoeyN64 Cart Flasher by BennVenn focuses more on rewriting bootleg carts, but can also be used for dumping real carts as well. Generally it is pretty easy to use, however it may try to overdump Ocarina of Time ROMs if it uses a different ROM chip than expected internally. In that case you'll need to play with a hex editor to get a working ROM for randomizer. You'll also need a USB wire to plug into your computer on one end, and a USB-C plug on the other that does data transfer to plug into the device.

Try~~ again with a fresh dump copied from your cart to your PC.		====Usage====

			Using the JoeyN64 itself is easy. You just place the game cart into the cartridge connector, ensure that the label is facing away from the N64 controller port. Then plug the USB cable into your computer, then into the JoeyN64. It should show up like a USB drive would in This PC. Open it up and you should see a <samp>DEBUG</samp> or <samp>DEBUG.TXT</samp> file. Opening that file should open it in notepad or an equivalent text editor. Ensure that the line near the end of the file says <samp>Checksums OK!</samp> and not <samp>Checksums Bad!</samp>. If it says the checksums are bad, unplug the JoeyN64 and try reseating the cartridge. If it continues to happen, try cleaning the contacts on the cartridge with some isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab, wait for it to dry, and try the JoeyN64 again. Once the checksums are good there should be a <samp>THE_LEGE.Z64</samp> file next to the debug text file. You can copy that to your computer. You can also backup your save file <samp>THE_LEGE.SRA</samp> here too.

			You may notice that the file you copied is 64MB. This is due to hardware in the cartridge behaving differently than expected by the firmware. [[#Create ROM File From Extracted File\|You'll need to cut out the excess data using a hex editor or disk dumper like for the Gamecube method]]. Just in this case you will be starting at location 0 for Windows, or skipping 0 bytes for macOS and Linux.

			Once you have a 32MB file, you can use the [https://oot.flagrama.com downgrader site] to verify or downgrade your ROM to be used for the randomizer. If it is a 1.0 ROM already, you can get started using the randomizer. If it detects as a downgradable/convertable ROM you can do so to get a 1.0 ROM to use. If the site cannot detect your ROM, try again with a fresh dump copied from your cart to your PC.

			====Updating Firmware====
			Go to [https://bennvenn.myshopify.com/products/joeyn64-cart-flasher#firmware-updates Firmware updates] and download the newest firmware version. It should be near the top of the list. Open the downloaded zip file and copy the <samp>MODE.TXT</samp> file from the zip to the JoeyN64, then wait for it to disconnect then reconnect. Next copy the <samp>FIRMWARE.JR</samp> file and paste it in the JoeyN64. It should disconnect and then reconnect and the <samp>DEBUG.TXT</samp> file should display the new version in the top line.

This is an Ocarina of Time 1.2 ROM that you can run in an emulator. If you want to use it for the Randomizer you will have to downgrade it to 1.0.

			== Gamecube ==
			Another way to to make a backup of Ocarina of Time is by ripping a Gamecube disc to an ISO using a Wii and then extracting the ROM using Dolphin.

			=== What You Will Need ===
			* [[Wii Virtual Console#Softmodding Your Wii\|A Softmodded Wii]] or [[Wii Virtual Console#Softmodding Your Wii U's Virtual Wii Mode\|A Softmoodded vWii]]
			* A Dump of your Ocarina of Time / Master Quest disc or Zelda Collector's Edition disc ([https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Ripping_Games Dolphin's wiki has a guide on doing this.])
			* The [[Dolphin]] Emulator
			* A Hex Editor and/or Binary File Manipulation Software

			=== Extract File From Disc ===
			First, in Dolphin you will need to have the ISO backup of your GameCube disc in the list of games in the main window. If you need to add the path the files are located in, go to <samp><kbd>Options</kbd>→<kbd>Configuration</kbd>→<kbd>Paths</kbd></samp> and click the <samp>Add...</samp> button. Next navigate to the folder with your ISO file in it and click <samp>Open</samp>.

			With the backup in the game list, right-click the game and click on <samp><kbd>Properties</kbd></samp> then click on the <samp>Filesystem</samp> tab. You may need to click the arrows on the right of the tabs list to find it.

			For a Ocarina of Time / Master Quest ISO, you will want to look for the <samp>zlj_f.tgc</samp> file for the US copy, if other copies do not have this file, you want the large 500MB+ size file. For Collector's Edition you want to open the <samp>tgc</samp> folder and select the <samp>zelda_ENG_090903.tgc</samp> file for the US copy, if other copies do not have this file, you want the large 480MB file. Right-click the file and click <samp>Extract File...</samp> and extract it to a folder.

			=== Create ROM File From Extracted File ===
			For this part you will want a hex editor for finding where the ROM is in the file we extracted.

			For '''Windows''': [https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ HxD] is recommended. It will also be able to copy the data you find to make a ROM file.
			For '''macOS''': [https://hexfiend.com/ Hex Fiend] looks like a good choice.
			For '''Linux''': Any graphical hex editor should work, or if you're experienced with <samp>hexdump</samp> that should also work.

			First lets locate the ROM file in the extracted file using a hex editor. Open up the file in a hex editor, then open a find dialog. Hex Fiend has this located at the top of the window. Other software should be able to bring up one by pressing <samp><kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>F</kbd></samp> or on macOS <samp><kbd>Command ⌘</kbd>+<kbd>F</kbd></samp>. Make sure it is in <samp>Hex</samp> mode, or you are typing in the <samp>Hex</samp> side of the window. Type <code>80 37 12 40</code> and try to search for that string. This is the "magic" header for a N64 ROM and all N64 ROMs start with these bytes.

			Your hex editor should have a place on the window where it displays an "Offset" value somewhere in the window. Make sure you have the 8 or 0 in <code>80</code> selected and then write down this value. It is usually a hex value which means that it uses the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. Use [https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/hex-to-decimal.html this Hex to Decimal] converter to convert the hex number to a normal decimal number. We will use this in the next section, but the next part is OS specific.

			=== Windows ===
			Now that you have the decimal value of where the ROM is located, press <samp><kbd>Control</kbd>+<kbd>E</kbd></samp> to open the <samp>Select block</samp> dialog.
