What this Tool does
Extract the exact fixed-layout Controller Pak 2 byte region from the existing verified Mupen64Plus-Next RetroArch composite save without interpreting or changing game data.
Verification boundary
Input must be exactly the existing verified 0x48800-byte Mupen64Plus-Next composite layout. Extension alone is not sufficient. Permanent 16 MiB ceiling. Exact fixed-offset extraction only. The Tool does not infer which N64 save medium the game actively uses, byte order, provenance, or compatibility with another RetroArch core.
Output and rollback
Exact source slice for Controller Pak 2 plus deterministic SHA-256-bound extraction proof JSON. No rebuilt composite is emitted. The original selected source is never modified in place.
Before you convert
