Description
update 2022-02: emulated correctly by Ares64 core, which unfortunately is too slow for casual play
Hello, I'm having a little problem with the BizHawk emulator. Overall, it's a very amazing emulator, but I do have one problem with it. And that problem is that I cannot open up my BattleTanx emulator on BizHawk. It has the .rom ending, while the other N64 game I do have uses the .z64 ending. Is it simply a faulty file or is .rom not supported by BizHawk?
EDIT: Alright, I figured that I was a dumb and downloaded a BattleTanx rom that ended with the .n64 file. However, I'm still just stuck at a black screen, with nothing to load into. Even with BattleZone and Goldeneye, which both are .n64 files, they may be laggy, but they can load in quite easily.
edit: Don't link ROMs

Research direction
Start by reproducing the BattleTanx loading failure in BizHawk with the reported .rom and .n64 files, then inspect the N64 ROM-loading path and the Ares64 core noted in the issue. Done means identifying whether the failure is caused by file support or emulation and documenting or fixing the behavior so BattleTanx loads correctly.
