A GIFT'S JOURNEY
How a gift reaches the game
Four stops, in under a second.
A viewer sends a gift
From TikTok, Twitch, Kick, YouTube or Starvios: a gift, a follow, likes or a chat command.
OverInteractive
Receives the event, checks your active profile for the matching effect and sends it.
Runtime
The program the app uses to run Majora's Mask on your PC. The app downloads it, and the OverInteractive connection comes built in.
Majora's Mask · your ROM
The effect comes out through the game's own engine: real enemies around Link, statuses and time of day in an instant.
STEP BY STEP
Getting started
Everything happens from the game's status bar, at the bottom of the app.
- 1
Download the runtime
In the bar below press «Download runtime». It downloads once and the app keeps it in its own folder.
- 2
Choose your ROM
Press «Choose ROM» and pick your .z64, .n64 or .v64 file (if it's in a .zip or .7z, extract it first). The app checks it is the US version; if not, the step turns red and tells you why.
The exact list of versions that work and don't is behind the help icon in the bar below.
- 3
Enable the connection
Press «Enable connection» with the game closed. It gets the game ready to receive effects; if the game were open, it would save its settings over the change when it exits.
- 4
Press «Launch game»
The first time, the game builds its files from your ROM with a progress bar. It asks nothing and takes about a minute: don't close the window. After that it starts straight away and the ROM is no longer needed.
Before that first launch the app shows you these steps in a window.
- 5
Create your save and wait for «Connected»
On the title screen press Start (Space), pick an empty slot, type a name and confirm it. The bar below shows «Connected»; the story opens with a cutscene and effects land as soon as you control Link.
- 6
Choose what each gift does
In «Profiles» create an example one in a click or build your own: each gift, follow or chat command fires the effect you pick.
EFFECTS
What your chat can do
Each effect is assigned to a gift, a follow, likes or a chat command.
Chaos
The cuccos' revenge and lit bombs at your feet.
Hurt Link
Freeze, burn, electrocute, knockback, take hearts, drain magic, steal rupees, the «Jinx» that stops him attacking… and Game Over.
Help Link
Heal hearts, fill magic and give rupees.
Link status
Invisible Link, reversed controls, speed up or slow down, pacifist mode, no Z-targeting, double or quadruple damage, one-hit KO, random buttons and no HUD.
World
Jump to dawn, noon or midnight, or start a rainstorm.
IMPORTANT
Before you go live
Only the original US ROM
The Nintendo 64 NTSC-U 1.0 and the US GameCube versions work. The European and Japanese versions, fan translations and romhacks make the game close on startup, so the app won't let you use them. The app doesn't download or distribute ROMs.
With the game closed
Enabling the connection, installing or removing the language pack and uninstalling the runtime are done with the game closed.
Effects wait for their moment
They land when you control Link. If they arrive during a cutscene, a dialog, a menu or while paused, they wait in a queue and play on their own afterwards (for up to 10 minutes). Timed effects don't spend time while paused.
Up to 10 enemies at once
If 10 chat enemies are already alive, the next ones wait in the queue until one falls.

FAQ
No. OverInteractive doesn't distribute ROMs: you bring your own copy. The game uses it only once to build its files and doesn't need it after that.
Yes, but not with a translated ROM or the European one. Use the original US ROM and, in the game's «Settings» tab, install the «Español» language pack: text and signs using the PAL script. A few dialogue lines stay in English.
Yes: the viewer's name shows above every enemy, cucco or bomb chat sends. Emoji and fancy letters can't be drawn: they get simplified or the enemy shows up without a name.
That version doesn't work, and the «Choose ROM» step turns red with the reason. It's almost always the European or Japanese version, a translation, a romhack or a compressed file. Use the original, unmodified US one.
In the ⋯ menu of the bar below, «Uninstall runtime». The runtime, the generated files and the packs are deleted, but your saves are kept unless you tick «Also delete saved games». Your ROM is not touched.
