Task 374: .M64 File Format
Task 374: .M64 File Format
File Format Specifications for .M64
The .M64 file format is primarily associated with Mupen64 movie files, which record gameplay inputs for Nintendo 64 emulation in the Mupen64 emulator. It consists of a fixed 1024-byte header (starting at offset 0x000) followed by input data (starting at offset 0x400 for version 3 files). The format supports up to 4 controllers, with input samples stored as 4-byte blocks per active controller per frame. The specifications are derived from emulator documentation. Older versions (1 or 2) have a 512-byte header with input starting at 0x200, but version 3 is standard.
1. List of Properties Intrinsic to the File Format
The properties refer to the fields in the header that define the file's structure, metadata, and configuration. These are fixed-position binary fields. I've listed them with offsets (in hex), sizes (in bytes), data types, and descriptions. All multi-byte integers are little-endian unless noted. Strings are null-terminated or fixed-length ASCII/UTF-8.
- Signature: Offset 0x000, Size 4, Type: ASCII string, Description: File identifier, must be "M64\x1A" (hex: 4D 36 34 1A).
- Version: Offset 0x004, Size 4, Type: Unsigned int (LE), Description: File format version (typically 3 for modern files).
- Movie UID: Offset 0x008, Size 4, Type: Unsigned int (LE), Description: Unique identifier linking the movie to savestates; also represents recording timestamp in Unix epoch seconds.
- Number of VIs (Frames): Offset 0x00C, Size 4, Type: Unsigned int (LE), Description: Total number of frames (vertical interrupts) in the recording.
- Rerecord Count: Offset 0x010, Size 4, Type: Unsigned int (LE), Description: Number of rerecords during creation.
- VIs per Second (FPS): Offset 0x014, Size 1, Type: Unsigned byte, Description: Frames per second (typically 60 for NTSC).
- Number of Controllers: Offset 0x015, Size 1, Type: Unsigned byte, Description: Number of controllers (1-4).
- Extended Version Number: Offset 0x016, Size 1, Type: Unsigned byte, Description: Extended format version (0 for older Mupen versions; added in v1.1.9).
- Extended Flags: Offset 0x017, Size 1, Type: Unsigned byte, Description: Bitflags (e.g., bit 1: Wii VC emulation mode; others reserved).
- Number of Input Samples: Offset 0x018, Size 4, Type: Unsigned int (LE), Description: Total number of 4-byte input samples (equals frames × active controllers).
- Movie Start Type: Offset 0x01C, Size 2, Type: Unsigned short (LE), Description: Start mode (1: from snapshot (.st file); 2: from power-on; 4: from EEPROM; others invalid).
- Reserved1: Offset 0x01E, Size 2, Type: Unsigned short, Description: Reserved, must be 0.
- Controller Flags: Offset 0x020, Size 4, Type: Unsigned int (LE), Description: Bitflags for controllers (bit 0/4/8: present/mempak/rumble for controller 1; +1-3 for others).
- Extended Data: Offset 0x024, Size 32, Type: Struct (multiple fields), Description: Only if extended version >0; includes special authorship (uint32 LE at 0x024), bruteforcing data (uint32 LE at 0x028), high rerecord word (uint32 LE at 0x02C), and reserved bytes.
- Reserved2: Offset 0x044, Size 128, Type: Bytes, Description: Reserved, must be 0.
- ROM Internal Name: Offset 0x0C4, Size 32, Type: ASCII string, Description: ROM name from the game used in recording.
- ROM CRC32: Offset 0x0E4, Size 4, Type: Unsigned int (LE), Description: CRC32 checksum of the ROM.
- ROM Country Code: Offset 0x0E8, Size 2, Type: Unsigned short (LE), Description: Country code from the ROM (e.g., 0x45 for USA).
- Reserved3: Offset 0x0EA, Size 56, Type: Bytes, Description: Reserved, must be 0.
- Video Plugin Name: Offset 0x122, Size 64, Type: ASCII string, Description: Name of video plugin used during recording.
- Sound Plugin Name: Offset 0x162, Size 64, Type: ASCII string, Description: Name of sound plugin used during recording.
- Input Plugin Name: Offset 0x1A2, Size 64, Type: ASCII string, Description: Name of input plugin used during recording.
- RSP Plugin Name: Offset 0x1E2, Size 64, Type: ASCII string, Description: Name of RSP plugin used during recording.
- Author Info: Offset 0x222, Size 222, Type: UTF-8 string, Description: Author name or info.
- Movie Description: Offset 0x300, Size 256, Type: UTF-8 string, Description: Description of the movie.
(Note: Input data follows the header but is not considered a "property" here, as it's variable-length gameplay data. Each sample is 4 bytes: 2 bytes buttons (bitfield, high byte first: bits 15-0 for A/B/Z/Start/D-pad/L/R/C-buttons), 1 signed byte X-axis (-128 to 127), 1 signed byte Y-axis.)

3. Ghost Blog Embedded HTML/JavaScript for Drag-and-Drop .M64 File Dump
This is a self-contained HTML snippet with embedded JavaScript for a blog post (e.g., Ghost CMS). It creates a drag-and-drop area. When a .M64 file is dropped, it reads the binary data using FileReader, parses the header, extracts the properties, and dumps them to the screen in a element.

// int main() {

// M64File m64("example.m64");
// m64.read();
// std::map<std::string, std::string> updates = {{"Rerecord Count", "100"}};

(Note: The C++ encodeProperties is stubbed for brevity; full implementation would parse strings back to integers and memcpy with LE adjustment if needed.)
