Hey. I'm working on a PD mod which include custom head models.
I was careful to replace heads already into the game with others that have less tris.
However I'm at a point where the rom won't launch on console but works fine on emulator. I hope it is a bug that can be fixed.
Here's a xdelta to create such a rom.

I also tried to do the same with a PD rom with xbla sounds, and the same thing happened.

It crash here.

Hmm, that's usually a compression issue. I need to make sure I didn't break something when I added template mode. Do normal modifications work?

What are you calling "normal modification", please ?

Hmm, one of my optimizations may have been...bad. In file 56FE0 or 1180E0. I reuploaded beta, grab it and try again (it reverts it's possible bad changes, so should fix any previously generated ROMs). At the least, the model template import seems to work now, for the ppk twine example from Siul.

One additional note about character bodies and heads in PD. Every polygon requires unique vertices. Unlike GoldenEye where they can share, Perfect Dark will crash on console when said model is shot. Thankfully, the Editor has a function to modify the model file, and create a fixed version. One option is in the Stage Options of the 39850 Game Configurations menu. Select your model file from the main list. When you know which number the file is (example 0756), open up Notepad and type that into it. Save a text file, and click the button that mentions updating / fixing heads / bodies for console. It will ask for a text file, so it knows which files to deal with. After a moment, your updated file will be in the ROM. Test it out to make sure all is well.

Took a while to figure out the issue, so thanks to Zoinkity and SubDrag for coming up with the fix. Very early builds of GE-X would crash during matches, which was very frustrating.

I got this with the new version. I just replaced 3 head textures by other one.

I'll have to look to see if any more safe optimizations are possible.
