any time i go to a shop and move to an item to be purchased it plays the text for the weird egg and causes a soft lock due to not being able to close the text box

The English ROM is required.

I've found that even with an english rom, the randomizer is generating a Japanese output making the above bug happen. The settings string used is DJ2239TZYNDAAKKJCB (I also tried MQ only dungeons and Vanilla only modes also) Base rom I used is this one https://edgeemu.net/details-41586.htm. The rom I used is indeed plays in english.

Oh right, you have to delete ZOOTDEC.z64 too as it is currently created from the Japanese ROM. It will continue to use the Japanese ROM until that file is deleted and a new seed is generated with the English ROM.

Would it make sense to rebuild ZOOTDEC if it detects a new input rom? By comparing the crc or whatever?

Kind of pointless as of one of the first merges into Dev after 3.0. It only accepts English and Japanese by their (identical) internal CRC, and forces Japanese to English by changing the bit that controls the language in the ROM.

ah, I missed the part where this was 3.0
