Nintendo’s Chinese N64 variant, iQue Player, has finally been hacked after almost fifteen years and in true hackerman fashion, everything was dumped onto the internet.

A total of 15 ROMs were dumped online, alongside the iQue Player SDK. They are:

Wave Race 64

Star Fox 64

Dr. Mario 64

Super Mario 64

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Mainland and Taiwan)

Mario Kart 64

F-Zero X

Yoshi’s Island

Paper Mario

Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Earth

Excitebike 64

Super Smash Bros.

Custom Robo

Animal Crossing

The Taiwanese localised ROM of Ocarina of Time seems to suggest that at one point, the iQue Player was going to make it to Taiwan.

Today (April 25, 2018), the first iQue Player ROM dump, Starfox 64, came out and is playable on an emulator.

Not just that, hackers have also managed to do some home brew on the iQue Player.

It was a long wait for the Chinese before such a hack was publically release. Still, it was better late than never.
