Game Files

You need your own data file, Turok - Rage Wars (USA). SHA-1: 11C2DD51FFCECC5D8134CEC96FFCF9C44B15DB48 (.n64) 9F8CB190831945F6F707AA8C2B20E04FA4276795 (.z64) .v64 files work too.

Start the game, pick Load ROM and select your file. It only has to be done once.

Add a blank portable.txt in the application's folder to make it portable, if you want to save settings and saves locally.
