Item description:

Kuru Kuru Fever Retail N64 Hack

Another Aleck64 title ported to retail N64 consoles. It’s an overly-cute matching puzzle game with an interesting gimmick. Each animal has a “favorite fruit” that, when cleared, causes the play area to flip upside down. Subsequent matches cause further flips and reduce the number of adjacent tiles needed for a match. Despite the cuteness factor the game has a fairly steep difficulty curve and can get inhumanly fast at times.

The patch simulates the arcade hardware registers and redirects controller feed to the joystick registers. It requires an 8MB expansion pak and 4k eeprom. DIP switches appear to serve little purpose; use the test menu to save game options and coin settings to eeprom. To clear room for a controller feed translation function two other functions were rewritten to reduce their size.

Apply either the IPS or BPS patch to an unbyteswapped file. Any IPS patcher should be able to apply the ips patch. BPS files can be applied using Beat.
