DinoLauncher is a rudimentary tool first released by sabre230 in October 2022 that updates a local copy of the Dinosaur Planet ROM with the most recent patches and updates.

How to Use

  • Please note, these instructions can also be found in the DinoLauncher Wiki.
  • Start by selecting an update branch.
    • Stable is slower to update but typically easier to deal with
    • Nightly is more frequent but can suffer from unforeseen hiccups.
  • Browse for your Dinosaur Planet ROM file. It will typically be named "rom_crack.z64" from most sources.
  • Click Check for Updates to check the DinoLauncher repository for any new patches.
  • Once updates are done downloading, click Apply Patch.
    • Optionally, you may check the box to use HQ player models at the cost of performance.
  • Once the patch is complete (it's usually quite fast) the game directory will open and you'll be given the option to LAUNCH the game.
  • Have fun and enjoy this formerly lost piece of video game history!
