Well while checking MotetII : : I discovered other CRC calculation tools do not calculate their CRC's : : 100% correctly. The result caused test binarys not to boot on the N64. : : After exploring the problem, I decided it was wise to release a tool : : which will actually calculate CRC's correctly. Other tools may claim : : they do, but they have bugs that cause failures to result in a truely : : correct and functional CRC. : : : : All major CIC and bootcodes are supported, except for Starfox / Lylat : : Wars. I will fix this in a future update. : : : +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ : : : How do I use Macet? : : ------------------- : : : : Macet is best controlled from the command line prompt.
