Check your ROM

Drop your Diddy Kong Racing cartridge dump below and this page will tell you exactly which release it is, and whether Golden Balloon can run it.

Your file never leaves this device. It is read in the page and examined in memory. There is no upload, and this page contacts nothing — you can turn your network off first and it will work exactly the same.

What this checks

The cartridge header identifies the release, and the checksum pair in it covers the whole cartridge, so a renamed or re-headered file is still recognised for what it is. A byteswapped .v64 or .n64 dump is converted to plain big-endian .z64 order first — the same conversion the game does when it loads — so all three forms give the same answer. The full-image SHA-256 is then compared against the reference dump for supported releases, which is what catches a copy that is subtly damaged.
