FYI Guys, N64 games are noted in MegaBits or Mb. PSP memcards note things in MegaBytes or MB.

8 bits = 1 Byte.

So take mario for instance
64Mb (bit) / 8 = 8 MB (bytes).

Nintendo has a nack for using Megabits to make thing sound larger then they really are.

Also as to why mario is not working. Well there are a few reasons
1) Mario uses Tlb emulataion where Starfox & mario kart dont. I still need to do tlb emulation (its where memory addresses are translated to the proper hw addresses)
2) Mario uses Fast3D microcode, Starfox & mario kart use F3DEX. Ever since quest started working, I have put much more time into the F3DEX Microcode so it works much better. I actualy think I just have a small bug in Fast3D which is causing the bug
3) The first Commercial Game to run on Monkey 64 was Mortal Kombat Trillogy. :P First 3D Comercial Game to run (and actualy output 3d) was Quest64. :P

Wouldnt Krenal mode limate a whole lot of psp users from being able to run the final emu?

I think only 1.0 and 1.5 can do kernal.

kernal mode in a way is better, but yes, it will disable a whole bunch of psp users from being able to use the app. Monkey 64 runs in user mode, which means that anyone with any firmware (except 2.7) can use the emulator. Kernal mode was locked by sony because at the time, umd emulators were being made, and people started pirating games. I sure wish we could use apps in kernal mode thou, as it is indeed much better than user mode. emulators get full potential fps wise out of kernal mode than user mode.
