I have created a pastebin with details on how the timer text code works with a list of all characters. Enjoy

Nice one Seth. A few other things:

Here are the addresses for the English version:
813383A8
813383AA

Here are some special other characters you can put in the text (from James S' Kingdom):
0x2A cross (used for lives for example)
0x2B coin symbol
0x2C Mario head symbol
0x2D star symbol

You can also actually make the string longer than 4 characters. Anything past 5, however, will just go behind the timer itself. For each set of 2 characters you want to add, you just move two bytes down the address. For example, the 5th and 6th character are located here on English:
813383AC

That value is normally set to 0000, because 00 is the terminating character for strings. This means if you use just 5, be sure to set 813383AC to XX00. If you use more characters, just make sure it eventually ends in 00, or else you will get a bunch of crap behind the timer. On the same note, don't try to use 00 for spaces in the text. This will just end the string early. Use 01 or something.

Example code to say "BEBOP" before the timer:
813383A8 4245
813383AA 424F
813383AC 5000

You can change the 5000 to 5001 or something to see what I meant about crap behind the timer.

James S knows a lot about strings in this game. More info can be found here: https://sites.google.com/site/jamesskingdom/Home/video-game-secrets-by-james-s/super-mario-64-exposed

To change star count to a word it's as simple as changing timer text. The code is extremely similar.

JP code:
813371C0 XXXX
813371C2 XXXX

Letter codes:
A=41 B=42 C=43 D=44 E=45 F=46 G=47 H=48 I=49 J=4A K=4B L=4C M=4D N=4E O=4F P=50 Q=51 R=52 S=53 T=54 U=55 V=56 W=57 X=58 Y=59
Number Codes: (Use 2 for a Z)
31=1 32=2 33=3 34=4 35=5 36=6 37=7 38=8 39=9

For example to put star count as "star" the code is:
813371C0 5354
813371C2 4152

Note that files with under 100 stars will have the "x" (times) symbol next to the characters causing only 3 letters/characters to fit in the HUD before becoming cut off. If you have a save file with over 100 stars you can fit 4 letters/characters without the HUD cutting it off.
Refer to Minikoris post above for symbols as they work the same in this code.

I have a 2.1 gameshark and I've been using the level reset code just fine.

The 8-bit coin reset code does not work for me, but the 16-bit one does.

However, when I try to run the level reset code AND the 16-bit coin reset, it doesn't allow me to load up the game.. can I combine the two codes in one or something? Any ideas why it's being weird? lol

[GothicLogic]

GS is weird dude. Some will do what others can't. Badly designed hardware.

Now that we have Single Star Leaderboards with a 2 decimal timer, is there a code with a 2 decimal timer? One for US and one for JP.

Thanks in advance.

[minikori]

Here is the hundredths timer GS code for US (I'm not going to bother converting it to JP): http://pastebin.com/piGYDN4d
Keep in mind that single stars times are RTA so you can't use the time from this code to justify any WRs. Also, most people do not like any use of GS in single stars, so this code is only really good for practice.

[speedruntrainer]

Ah, thanks. Way better that way too, since I think the timer slows down on lag too. Explains why Emucheaters and VCheaters are not allowed in Single Star.

Is there any way to add a timer in your N64 Single Star videos then?
I prefer avidemux, if that isn't possible, other solutions.

A lot of video editing programs support adding a timer to your video (Vegas and Premiere off the top of my head).
