WWF Backlash PREVIEW 1

This is an early preview build. Many areas are unfinished but enough for a new feel.No Hell in a Cell yet, this should be on PREVIEW 2 or 3.

Roster changed to WWF 2001Tons of attires.Tons of new moves and animations.New Menus.New stages (ring view only).New Music and trons.Much more to come.Some emulators like Android's M64 FZ Pro can't handle music beyond the 64MB area and results in static. For this reason there is a full patch and a "LITE" patch.

LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!

Dustin the Grim

Thank you. Even incomplete, this is bound to be better than the nickel and dime fest 2K just came out with

Justin

Awesome!!!

ED

RRP! RRP! RRP!!

Beanman25

THIS IS SO FREAKING COOL

Retro Randy Price

Wow, I guess I'll just delete this since it isn't about my games.

Anthony Joseph

Unreal!!! You are an amazing guy for this one.

M. Kanne

Thank you ☺️

dan niel

Just played a handful of matches! This game is awesome. I’m excited for hell in a cell. Thank you so much Randy! We all appreciate you!

VGD2000

Thank you Retro For bringing this back from the ground up

Drew Edwards

Randy you're the G.O.A.T at this 🫡d

M. Kanne

Have you applied the patch to an „fresh“ US v1 No Mercy rom? What message do you get on PJ64?

Jaylen Leavell

I tried with the delta patcher.exe but said it was wrong

M. Kanne

Sounds like the wrong rom to me. I would try to download an fresh rom from Vimms Lair. Make sure to get v1 (not 1.1) with US region. 👍

Rikibu

employee of the month goes to Randy :-)

LuchaJoe

Hey Randy! So I tried this for my M64 emulator but I keep getting a black screen. I applied the patch on No Mercy, then tried the Lite patch but the same thing keeps happening. Any advice?

Retro Randy Price

The best place to inquire issues is in the general community chat. I don't always see replies to comments. I don't always get notifications. The community can also chime in to help there. If it isn't loading it's likely that you didn't patch to the correct ROM. Redownload the 1.0 version of NM from vimms lair and try again.

LuchaJoe

Apologies! New to your patreon but I subscribed after your terrific ECW BTBW Mod. I figured it out on my end! Thanks so much

Dustin the Grim

Anyone got a caw wishlist going? I'm thinking of making WCW guys who didn't come over during the Invasion (nWo, Steiners, Jarrett, Sting, etc)

Patrick Harris

What rom do we apply this patch to? Couldn't see anything in the documentation

M. Kanne

No it overwrites the original rom.

M. Kanne

Like the other mods: an unpatched/original No Mercy v1.0 (NOT 1.1) US Region (one good source is Vimms Lair).

VGD2000

The resurrection of the one sequel that got cancelled.I can’t wait for the Hell of The Cell

FourCoOpCore

Too bad the N64 is not powerful enough to have 6 wrestlers in the ring at one time.

FourCoOpCore

How does Randy make better wrestling games in beta, than the people who make big budget ones at 2k? By the way, the character models on WWF Backlash are insane. Cant wait to see Hell in a Cell

VGD2000

So what’s in store for the future for season mode for Backlash 64?

Retro Randy Price

The plan is you'll choose WWF, WCW or ECW and go through a full year of 2001 from each perspective. You won't choose who to play as because you'll just be following along the story and taking over various people. As far as belts go, it'll include all WWF and most WCW belts.

Lonny Bonani

Dude killer, now theres a roster for WWE that compares to some of the VPW rosters. Had to throw Kanyon and Bryan Adams in a tag instantly. this is damn near complete too. way further than i expected. Great work, what a gift.

Josh Smith

It was a surprise to see the Honkey Tonk man in there..a welcome surprise...oh, and DDP and Ric Flair! Love the new dynamic backgrounds on the character select screens

M. Kanne

Honky Tonk Man made an appearance at the 2001 Royal Rumble. Iron Sheik won the Gimmick Battle Royal at WrestleMania. Ric Flair was introduced as Co-Owner of WWF after Survivor Series 2001 and DDP … well was the Stalker of Sara. 🙈 What I wanted to say is, they are all in for an reason because they had their role in 2001. ☺️👍

Brandon Marchant

Tried to play season mode but it wants to go to a black screen with whoever's came out music still playing or it freezes in the first match of the mode. Playing on summercart.

Retro Randy Price

This isn’t implemented yet. I should have blocked this screen to reduce confusion. This project is still an early preview. Many things are unfinished.

FourCoOpCore

Hey Randy, is it possible to balance out the gameplay by having to lower the amount of spirit that gains from spam taunting in ring. Maybe to force the player to wrestle more instead of, knocking them out of the ring or a when the opponent is on the ground and spam taunt into a special. It also would be nice to use the blue spirt meter flash before tilting the joystick for special as for maybe a signature move that is needed in order to get the special. (These are just some ideas) By the way, I love the new Royal Rumble moves you've put into the game to make that match more balanced and a lot of fun.

Retro Randy Price

I could see lowering the spirit gain when on expert. Maybe I could eventually make an "expert 2" options of sorts and change a handful of things. "Pro" maybe?

Jon Desjardins

Hey how do I patch this? I can't find WWF No Mercy (U) [!].z64 version 1.0 anywhere

Retro Randy Price

There's a read me for patch file in the patch folder. Please check it out. Says how to patch it and where to find it if you don't have it.

PeterJacobs

The name stays the same but you’ll see the rom file size would have increased after you patched it.

M. Kanne

Check out Vimms Lair 😉👍

Jon Desjardins

A few things that I would like to suggest. I've noticed that the CPU usually picks you back up after hitting a finisher. This happens so often and its not realistic. Maybe there's a way to fix this? Also I would strongly suggest adding the Random Spirit Boost cheat code and the S-Powered Finishers cheat code because they made No Mercy so much better. A lot of the modders would add those cheats to their mods. There's even a cheat that makes submissions last longer.

Retro Randy Price

I prefer not having links to prepatched ROMs on the patreon for potential legal purposes. Might have to ask for this somewhere else.

Yussuf Osman

New to this, but i tried everything can someone send me a step by step tutorial on how set it up and play, thank you in advanced

Charles Ford

It's a tutorial on how to convert patches to actual emulator game

Retro Randy Price

In the patch folder there’s a read me for patch file. It will explain what you need, where to get the rom and how to patch. If you need further assistance, it’s best to ask in the general community chat.

Twofactor23

Awesome work, as usual! Can't wait for HIAC and all the other features you have planned.

YVL 4 LIFE

Awesome work as always dude but im wondering if shawn michaels and big names of wcw would be added in the new previews 🤔??

Retro Randy Price

The roster is pretty much set in stone. I don't plan to add any more main roster characters. HBK will likely get CAW parts. I can't add every character ever, so I'm sticking to characters that were actually on WWF TV in 2001. I don't like mash-up projects and trying to fulfill every single "wish" request is just unrealistic.

Steadman Tyson

I love the game. If it's not too much trouble on the next preview can we get some Stone Cold Steve Austin t-shirts as far as the alliance shirts the do unto other shirts the long sleeve black and white Austin shirt around the time he wore around survivor series. And also the Undertaker Dead Man Inc leather pants

Retro Randy Price

I'll eventually add a ton of attires. I can't promise these on the next release. My current focus are arena models and Hell in a Cell match type.

Steadman Tyson

Yes I know the HELL IN A CELL will be wonderful

Salem Hosani

I know the game will cover 2001 roster but is it possible to add the NWO?

Salem Hosani

Or at least you can make the players doesn't lose the amount of spirit when the opponent taunts you. Like AEW Fight Forever

Retro Randy Price

If I step outside the timeframe, the requests can easily become unrealistic. There’s already a lot planned for the 2001 timeframe.

Danny A'Barrow

Having trouble patching the ROM, it's successful and does load but the textures for the wrestlers aren't working. the menus, music and everything else works fine but the roster is a bunch of random CAW looking things. What am I doing wrong?

Retro Randy Price

Sounds like it’s loading an old save file for some reason. Delete whatever save file you have and load it up.

Steadman Tyson

On the next previews will there be 2001 storylines added to Championship Mode?

Retro Randy Price

Championship mode will be changed to a Season mode where you'll choose ECW WCW or WWF and play as various preset characters throughout a year season. This will take a lot of time and won't be in on the next preview. I'll likely start implementing this slowly over the next 6 months.

Steadman Tyson

I know this will be great. Enjoying the progress so far

Yussuf Osman

Still no success in loading up and being able to play

Retro Randy Price

Please ask about this in the community chats and we’ll figure it out.

Sonny C

Dude, this was awesome. I checked it out, and you have made it really start feeling like a sequel and not just a mod. Please, if possible, add some WCW talent as DLC like or something. Just because the nWo 2002 comes in soon and Goldberg comes in, Steiner, and a few others. And if possible, HBK 2002. Either way, dude, thank you. Did you change Austin up a bit? It seems like he was more real, but I'm not sure if the model was the only difference or what. I can't believe how good you have gotten with making changes to this game. You have brought it back to life with all your work man. Thank you.

Dustin Moon

Can’t wait to try it out

Retro Randy Price

Thanks. I like to stick within time periods and this one is 2001.

dudekindjack

Is it possible to add the ECW Theme song, as when the ECW Guys first broke away from WWF and WCW July 2001, they used that theme?

Mr. G

Will we have tag team setup or would we have to create them in the creation suite in the final game? Will Honky Tonk Man, Iron Sheik, and the others in the last two stables who don't have official theme have it in the final game? Will a ref be added like in the old AKi games where you can add or not have ref do the counts? Will the final game have 6 in the ring at a time or will it stay at 4? Thank you!

Mr. G

Would it be difficult to add music, picture, clothes, and an easier CAW option to create nWo members if they won't be officially in the game? at least just for Hogan, Hall, and Nash

Mr. G

Yes, a legend difficulty would be great!

Mr. G

With the amount of awesome and available tag teams in this roster...is it possible to add a tag team tournament mode? We have dudleyz, hardyz, e&c, x factor, kane and undertaker, stone cold and hhh, eddie chavo, apa, rock and sock, chuck and o haire, and plenty of others to choose from.

Apacaveli96

how do i install this wwf backlash mod on my pc laptop?? i mean because i got it working on my android phone now i need help with the pc version

Apacaveli96

can you make a hell in a cell door that we can open up during hell in a cell matches like a hell in a cell door latch would be cool we would just have to press a certain button to open up the hell in a cell door latch

Prince Price

I'm trying to play WWF backlash on a emulator is it possible?

AMD

Hi Randy, I played your beautiful works wwf no mercy plus beta 3, also ECW born to be wired, and WWF Backlash 64 beautiful. I know it's a lot of work for you doing these projects, the best hack rom wrestling games are very good. but my question is in a new update there could also be with the WWF no mercy version (USA -1). Well, this is the best version and it has no problems with auto saving. I apologize if these words are not understood because I wrote through Google translator, I still have problems speaking in English.

Retro Randy Price

No mercy plus beta 3 is outdated. Use Open Beta released in Jan 2026. There's no need for USA-1 because I've fixed the save issue on all the game you mentioned.

Danny

Hey randy. I know you've addressed this issue but I'm wondering if there's a work around. I play on android and a pretty decent phone, is there any way of adding sound?

Danny

I meant the static on the main menu. Thank you for your reply, your work is excellent by the way.

Retro Randy Price

Yes you have to extract them and read the read me files. SD should come out of the side of the SC64. If it's not spring loaded you just pull it out. If spring loaded, push it in and it'll spring out.

Retro Randy Price

If you don’t have an expansion pak, that’s the issue. It says it’s required in the read file doc included in the download

That One Guy

I can't get this to work??? Can't pass the first menu screen, am I being stupid? Found a rom for ECW that works just fine, so I'm confused

Retro Randy Price

This is an older release. There’s a preview 2 release. Did you read the read me file included in the download?

That One Guy

Yes, I keep getting stuck on the match-up screen for some reason EDIT: I booted it up today and it worked? This was all on my end, Randy; Incredible build, thanks for what you do.
