/vr/ - Retro Games

>>7791280
Most boring and forgettable library out of the Big 3 of fifth gen, there's like no games I feel compelled to go back to and play again.

Only reason I would emulate this thing is because I've never played Ocarina of Time and I feel like it's a requirement for (retro) gamers.

>>7791297
Stop lying to yourself, the US Saturn library is ass.

>>7791312
*laughs in 3 Dirty Dwarves, Shinobi Legions, and Panzer Dragoon Zwei*

>>7791297
Weird, I used to underrate the 64 but gotta say in recent years I really found myself going back to it often. A lot of pickup and play games and the no loading times is also a nice pro.
It also has what is probably my favorite action-platformer of that generation, goemons great adventure.

>>7791280
I bought the HDMI modchip recently, excited to have that over the RGB mod N64 i have now.

>>7791297
i feel the exact opposite, I keep going back to N64 games more than PS1 or Saturn's catalog.
I know those two have a bigger library, more genres and even games I've never heard of and that's can be more appealing, but I find myself going through the N64 library more and enjoying my time playing the games I used to play as a kid and also the ones I never managed to play but saw on magazines and TV.
The N64 also has more of my fav genres (platformers, racers and FPS) along some of my all time faves compared to the other two (not saying their libraries are bad btw, I do like 5th gen a lot in general).

>>7791352
I felt that way too for a time, so I'd replay one of the handful of games on the console and get bored in 30 minutes. I'd try another game and the same would happen. Star Fox, F-Zero, Mario 64, OoT, etc. Everything I tried just wasn't fun to replay any more. I guess growing up with those games I had experienced everything I care to about them and know them in and out so they aren't interesting any more.

>>7791297
The N64’s appeal and the fondness people have for it relies pretty heavily on local multiplayer party games. I agree there’s not a whole lot of single player stuff in its library that still appeals to me.

The 5th gen filters people who werent around for their release. It's my favorite generation even tho I admit there were problems with early 3d. But no other generation had the mix of wonderful 2d and 3d games. The first party n64 games by nintendo are the pure stuff of my childhood. The playstation had so many amazing games especially rpgs. The saturn is criminally overlooked as well. It has so many great fighting and racing games. I hear there are great saturn rpg games that only came out in japan. Anyway if I could only play one generation of games its this one.

>>7791409
It’s funny because I was 12 in 1998 when OoT came out and thus the perfect age for it and yet I just never got into the N64. On the other hand I love the GameCube and Wind Waker is by far my favorite 3D Zelda.

>>7791370
nearly all the worthwhile single player games (which could be counted on one hand to begin with) are on other platforms as well, agree that the party games are the main reason to go back now (which is imo still plenty reason)

I bought one of these 3rd party controllers for dirt cheap and it works well but some games I have don't recognize it being connected and they give me the no controller message (mischief makers and star wars racer to give some examples).
Oddly enough I tried those same games on my flashcart and they recognize the joystick being plugged in.

>>7791427
wind waker is a better game when playing both in a modern context, OoT was unbelievably impressive for its time but has been done better since.

>>7791427
I remember looking forward to Windwaker until I saw how different it looked from the n64 games. It looked too kiddie to me. I never had a gamecube.

>>7791475
I’m the opposite. I loved how vibrant the WW art style looked. The N64’s low poly models always seemed janky to me.

>>7791352
Turok is a very impressive game for March 1997.

>>7791482
Forgot pic.

>>7791482
Back in those days all we cared about was "realistic" graphics, which the n64 zeldas were sort of doing. I'm not saying its correct, I'm just saying thats how we used to think.

>>7791486
probably one of my fav FPS ever

>>7791323
3 Dirty Dwarves on Windows shat on the Saturn version in every conceivable way

>>7791323
3 Dirty Dwarves has some of the absolute worst audio balancing I've ever heard in a commercially released game. The music is great but turning up the sound to try and hear it could be dangerous.

Some games I've been playing lately: gauntlet legends, buck bumble, mace the dark age, bomberman tsa, crusin world, and every now and then I fire up Banjo Tooie because its the only Rare collectathon I never 100%ed.

Greatest console of all time with a library of timeless classics that continue to instill emotional pain in anybody who never got to play them.

>>7791427
>I was 12 in 1998 when OoT came out
game is intended for 8~10 years old breh
your brain was already too mature for this kind of game.
Doom 64 was your ideal game back then

Who lied to me and said this was a good game? It's not bad, but it's only decent. Could be better if a lot of the collision and bugs were fixed.

>>7792043
I don’t know, it’s not like I don’t like Zelda since I played and loved Wind Waker five years later in 2003. The N64 Zeldas just never clicked with me I guess. My other favorite in the series is Link’s Awakening so maybe I only like Zelda games that involve warm beaches and ocean.

>>7791297
>big 3
What did they mean by this?

>>7792062
I'm comfortable in calling that a good game. Really technically impressive and looks great if you're using the expansion pak. Not the best I've ever played or anything but it's what it needed to be - a fun Indiana Jones adventure.

>>7791297
FPBP. Only Nintoddlers will disagree.

>>7792062
I found this fun despite its flaws.

>>7792135
PlayStation/Saturn/N64

>>7792135
PlayStation/Nintendo 64/Dreamcast

Sup n64 bros, what are you playing today? Popped Gex 64 Enter the Gecko in earlier.

For me it's Duke 64

How much should one pay for a regular N64 with the av cable and power pak?

>>7793476
Dreamcast isn't fifth gen it's 5.5. It's a weird in-between system like the Atari Jaguar or the 3DO.

>>7795053
still playing SanFran Rush, holy shit I hate Track 3 so much.

>>7795062
Uh, I would think anything over $60 for that would be unreasonable but I dont know about corona prices. I once bought a 64 as a gift for a friend, and I paid about $120 for that, which might be a bit high (then again, don't know about corona prices right now), but it came with four controllers, an expansion pak, and DK64, so I thought that was a reasonable deal, especially since that game is pretty pricey today.

>>7795125
I just got a black N64 for $57(plus $11 shipping and then taxes) and thought that seemed pretty good all things considered. I honestly think $120 depends on if you got one of those fruity colors or not.

Just finished San Francisco Rush, I'll check the sequels some other time, gonna check something else to play.

>>7791323
>3 Dirty Dwarves
Fighting Force 64 is better.
>Shinobi Legions
Goemon's Great Adventure is better.
>Panzer Dragoon Zwei
Star Fox 64 is better.

NINTENCHADS WE JUST CAN'T STOP WINNING.

>>7791280
I've been desiring a UltraHDMI mod for years now. The deblur is the feature that I really want. Where is the best place to get the mod done in the USA? The only one I know is BadassConsoles, which is an expensive $200USD, but may be worth it once I save up enough.

>>7796336
Why? Don't even bother. N64 looks perfect on a small CRT.

>>7796336
keep hearing that VPW2 is better than No Mercy, why is that? Does it have more moves and customization?

>>7796360
That VI-deblur looks amazing and makes some 2D elements look great to my tastes. The HW2 mod can output both HDMI and analog RGB/YPbPr which could help with streaming and video capture.

>>7796436
I like it because it combines the best elements of Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy plus has its own elements. VPW2 has the running grapples that No Mercy gained which was not in Wrestlemania 2000, which means there is more of a guessing game against a running opponent for counters. However, No Mercy restricted moves, no longer allowing strong/heavy but counterable attacks on light grapples which Wrestlemania 2000 allowed giving full freedom in creating and editing characters. Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 has the greater customizing and longer intros of WM2k, plus the technical enhancements in No Mercy, but also has things neither games has like chain grapples, cage fighting, strike sequences, etc.

>>7791280
I'm playing Bangai-o, the graphics are a bit like high rez nes in the little elements with extreme detail.

>>7791486
It was, pc gamers were still playing games similar to duke 3d. The detail of the enemies and animation was really impressive, it had an sgi cg look to it. Turok 2 was a downgrade for me but Turok 3 was the best.

>>7796336
One of the puyo puyo n64 games has licensed by sega in the title screen, its odd.

>best bomberman game in the entire series
>better than ocarina of time
>somewhere in the top 10 rarest cartridges, regularly over $200
>doesn't emulate well

It's fucking bullshit, man. All the best bombers have a premium price, like Saturn Bomberman. Can't complain though, I gots an original and pretty cheap, don't know how I was so lucky. Just sucks that unless you have an everdrive or are willing to pay for a cheap repro that it's a hard game to recommend to people even though it's without hyperbole the best N64 game of all time.

I’ve really come around on the N64 recently and I can’t believe I used to think PS1 games looked vastly superior. I couldn’t get past the blur or the fog the console is known for. If you look at everything else aside from those two specific things you’re left with much better looking games than the PS1 that managed to do perspective correct 3D with antialiasing, texture filtering, and next to no warping. And even then, the blur does its antialiasing job and the fog hides pop-in, so even its visual flaws have good purpose. It’s genuinely really impressive for its time and I wish more people could appreciate it, but I get why they don’t. Like I said I didn’t really get it for a long time, and this is a console I grew up with. The texture filtering in particular is an acquired taste I guess, I really used to hate the way it looked compared to the grainy PS1 which offered a far less processed, clearer image that I believed offered more detail. Now I realize a lot of that detail actually came from the blockiness and graininess of the textures and isn’t really an objectively better or worse look than what the 64 offers with its textures. It’s a look that absolutely works for the PS1 but the N64 offers something else completely. I’m glad I can appreciate it now though, it has a lot to offer.

really wish this game was good

>>7797170
Based. May more come around. Some of the anti N64 posts I see on here are completely unfair.

>>7797176
I was actually thinking about picking this up. The n64 has a lot more fighters than people realize. But I've already got MK4, War Gods, and Mace, and of course Smash, and it's like, idk man, fighting games are all exactly the same to me; hard to pick up another one when I've basically got my fix in my collection. One day I guess I'll pick up Clayfighter and maybe Rakuga Kids because they at least have some unique aesthetics but I think I can safely pass on all the others (and there are a lot more than I realized)

>>7797182
you should try Fighter's Destiny since its a completely original type of fighting game, maybe Flying Dragon too (or the jp exclusive sd hiryu no ken densetsu).

>>7792062
If this game was aping Tomb Raider, then Im glad I never played Tomb Raider. Absolutely shit game with terrible tank controls.

https://youtu.be/1z4G1ZPEIio

>>7799159
This game looks pretty good for a 1997 release. Unfortunately it came out in 1999.

Should I play CV64 or Legacy of Darkness?

>>7800298
I prefer the original but literally everyone else will tell you to play Legacy of Darkness, so play Legacy of Darkness

>>7800298
Cv64 if you want better level designs
Lod if you want more levels and extras

>>7791297
Funny, I feel that way about all 5th gen consoles. There's a shitton of quantity but not a whole lot of quality. Most third party games took a hit in level design, difficulty, aesthetic appeal, etc. Not I don't enjoy a game of Bomberman 64 occasionally, but with the jump to 3D, it came at a huge cost.

>>7797061
Personally prefer 64, but this alongside Super 2 and Super 3 are among my favorites in the series. Glad I still have my cart, but I know that won't last forever.

>>7800325
>>7800353
opted to play CV64, what are the requirements to get the good endings?

what is the best emulator for n64?

If I had 3 hands, I would have bought the N64 long ago. But unfortunately I was born with 2 hands, so the N64 is the only 5th gen console I missed out on.

>>7801814
Everdrive, emulation for N64 is still shite.

>>7801814
mupen64plus

My main issue with most N64 games is they feel too handicapped by the hardware, their ambition was greater than the console allowed for and a lot of games are just too small/short to the extent it's unsatisfying. But for some reason I don't feel the same way about the PS1.

>>7801986
Most of the developers making games for the N64 had the money and manpower for such high development costs, so they may have gotten carried away. PS1 devs more or less knew what they were working with or tried to keep it simple.

All N64 haters are weebs

No exceptions

Hating the N64 says more about your shortcomings as a male than its library.

>Inb4 no you're not a woman

>>7801967
>mupen64plus
can't even remap controls while the game is running

>>7802040
like the real thing

>>7791280
im playing thps 2

>>7802038
N64 has it's fair share of weeb exclusives though.

>>7792806
I forgot the saturn even existed.

>>7802380
I’m sorry, is this literally your first minute browsing this board?

>>7802403
I've never actually seen a saturn irl

>>7802535
You're just ignorant!

>>7800353
>better level design
Bigger levels doesn’t mean better designed, it’s just wasted space

>>7802535
Yeah but it’s quite literally impossible to browse this board with any regularity and not constantly be reminded of the Saturn’s existence.

>>7802038
I don’t know about all that but you do have to be genuinely not ok with yourself to dislike the N64

>>7802993
Not enough fun arcade-style games on N64 for me to want to go back and play it. Believe it or not, Mario 64 and OoT get boring quick.

>>7803053
there's a fuck ton of arcade-style racing and sports games that are fun.

>>7803068
Not to mention Robotron or Rampage

>>7803089
fuck yeah, robotron 64 is my jam.

>>7791280
The only console I've had more games for than N64 was Xbox 360. It was an anchor of my childhood

>>7803068
Yea it had a few good racers but where the beat em ups, shmups, and (non-adventure) action-platformers @?

>>7803117
>bmups
you got one there but being frank I never liked bmups that much (i do like sor2, konami asterix and tmnt4 though).
>shmups
Dezaemon 3D, Bangai-O, Robotron 64, Midway Treasures has some, Star Soldier Vanishing Earth, Space Invaders, Asteroids Hyper 64.
Maybe Sin & Punishment and Starfox 64 unless rail shooters dont count as shmups.
>action platformers
what you mean? non-collectathon ones?

>>7803117
>action-platformers
Also curious what you mean. Mischief Makers is a fun, varied 2D action game.
Shadows of the Empire is a fun action game with platforming but there’s 3 or 4 more genres in there as well, in that regard it reminds me of more modern games.
Conker’s Bad Fur Day is a great action platformer that ends up being a lot more than your typical Mario 64 or Banjo collectathon. Another good genre mashup, but I guess there are adventure elements in there as well.
Kirby 64 is a fairly solid Kirby game but ultimately nothing special IMO. Good if it’s what you’re into.
The Goemon 64 games are worth your time but I’m not sure if they’re what you’re after. The first one is a little like a simplified Zelda game. The second is a really good 2.5d platformer.

Why doesn't this game get talked about? The concept is awesome, even if enemies can be really cheap.

>>7803181
I guess he means something more on the vein of classic side-scrollers aka main goal is reaching the finish line instead of exploring the levels searching for items and other macguffins.
That's more difficult since even the most renowned side scrollers on the N64 (Goemon 2 and Mischief Makers) have some item collecting in them.

>>7802061
nice

I FINALLY got my N64 after a shipping delay! Now I can play Paper Mario and DK64 in peace. Granted I need to buy an extra expansion pak later, but that is a later problem.

>>7791297
Every single time. The only thing missing from your post is "Nintentoddler".
>>7792381
Oh, here we go again with this shit.

>>7806539
Hope you find an expansion pak for cheap, heard the official ones got really expensive and I don't trust 3rd party ones.

>>7803184
I would love see another game use its wrestling move based battle system.

BOught one today. The analog feels like shit. Don't know if it's worn out or if N64 analogs are just that bad. How do you get good quality OEM controllers?

>>7806664
I did see I could get a Japanese version of DK 64 with an expansion pak from japan on ebay for around $60. So I might do that later.

Playing thru perfect dark on perfect agent mode ATM. Stuck on attack ship. Very shocked how punishing and unforgiving this game is considering how super easy goldeneye is.

>>7806729
try opening the controller and cleaning the analog the gears and the bowl and be sure to use some grease on the gears.

>>7802075
>>7802038
They are otaku, moron.

Is a JAP DK64 with the Box and Expansion pack worth buying for $76? Cause the Pack is like $50 and at that point I might as well get a game with it too.

>>7802038
This. The Nintendo 64 had normal games for normal people. The only reason to hate it is because you were already a gross teenager who wanted ~mature> games (mostly JaRPiGs). N64 had 4 person local coop, so people with real friends and not anime waifus had a simple choice

>>7802535
I’ve only seen a Saturn ONCE and it was at my mega-rich cousin’s house. He had every console each generation because his parents could afford it.

>>7809950
Looks like it's mostly in English, you might as well, assuming you have a means to play Jap carts

>>7810753
I read you could just swap back plates on the carts. Though do you think the price of the paks would go down, because I realized that for $100 more I could just buy the everdrive x7.

>>7810768
You can also plug it into a GameShark.

>>7806768
Do it, the expansion pak on its own is always $40 so at least you get a kinda rare (ha) game with it

>>7801965
The x5 doesn't save until you reset, right? Does that mean on games that pop you back out to the main menu on death you'd lose all your progress, even if you attempted to save before? Been on the fence about which one to get for a while now, but if that's the kind of situation you have with the x5, fuck that.

>>7810834
No clue, I've never used an Everdrive, I only know that you can bypass region locking with GameShark.

>>7812157
These two (technically three) games were my childhood. Bomberman Max is pretty cool too, I never see it get any love, it's like a combination of Bomberman GB and Super Bomberman 5. This is a cool promo for all three games, thanks for sharing.

>>7800359
I like 64 too, but what I like about the second attack are the dungeon like levels in the single player mode, compared to the stages of the first game. I personally think it is the most fleshed out single player mode of any of the bombers.

What is the right way to play Goldeneye with keyboard and mouse? I did some internet searches but all the links I find are either broken or malicious.

Do you guys like playing on CRT or LCD screens these days? I was playing on LCD before finally hooking it up to my CRT, but honestly, I'm not sure if it looks better on a CRT or not.

>>7812810
Better on CRT, but fine on reasonably modern LCDs.

>>7812810
I do vastly prefer CRT but my Sony Bravia LCD works fine for me and doesn't look that blurry.

>>7812810
I definitely notice issues with text on LCD, motion also seems worse on LCD. I think size and aspect ratio are an important part of this too though. I have a small 12" LCD that looks decent with my N64.

>>7812810
I use UltraHDMI because I don't have space or money for a CRT in my moms basement.
I'll definitely get a CRT one day though.

>>7813175
>I don't have room for a CRT in my mother's basement

>>7813202
They're not though, I just don't feel like buying a CRT until I move out one day. I live on neetbux so no idea when that will be, maybe next bullrun.

I don't have to imagine, my parents were extremely poor.

>>7816784
Possibly. DK64 is somewhat of it's own beast compared to anything else on the N64. I'd like to call it Banjo-Kazooie 1.5, considering it shares a lot of similar themes and aesthetics. It has the large amount of collectibles like Banjo-Kazooie but the large worlds that Tooie has. If you're going to emulate it, I'd recommend using the GameShark cheat that allows you to Switch Kongs Anywhere.

How’s N64 emulation on Raspberry Pi 4? I’m planning on making my own retro gaming system this summer

>>7820976
Don't bother putting an n64 on it. Hate to be crude about it but yeah it's really not good.

>>7797170
The biggest difference is geometry that no one seems to bring up
PS1 3D is mostly made up of completely flat surfaces compared to the 64’s rolling hillsides

>>7791280
It fucks me up how N64 has a fuckton of racing and first person shooter games but little to no RPGs. Besides the obvious with the Square falling out, why was that? Did Yamauchi have a say in not allowing certain types of RPGs to get made? Was it because it didnt explore 3D enough the way a shooter or racer did? I thought the Shining Force games on Saturn showed you could still make wonderful 3D animations for an RPG. I mean fuck, they even deliberately made the only Nintendo RPG a Mario game with 2D sprites instead of 3D models (Paper Mario). Zoomers may praise that game to heave , and it is indeed good, but a lot of people thought it looked lame back in the day. I personally wanted a 3D followup to SMRPG, but thats all in the past now.

>>7795084
No it’s not, it’s the first sixth gen console, a few of the games were ported to GC/PS2/XBOX and some look worse

>>7795125
I would advise shopping local before buying online

>>7822980
I was just thinking I would have really liked an RPG with a battle system that took advantage of the face buttons, like B: defend, A: attack, C buttons: user spells or items (the player chooses the assignment outside of battle), L and R: switch characters, Z: special move. Would have been awesome as fuck.

>>7823018
You mean like xenogears or legend of legaia?

>>7822980
It's quite bizarre. You would think that the laws of supply and demand would mean that a company that made an RPG for the playstation would say "hold, on, instead of making a RPG for the PS where we're in competition with 500 other games, why not make one for N64, where there's literally Quest 64 and Aidyn Chronicles?". Even if the graphics were barely enhanced SNES graphics it would have sold if it was the only good traditional RPG on the platform.

Let me guess, you didn’t know how to use the controller

Anything else I need?

>>7824915

A day off, some friends, some pizza, and you're set. Don't forget the romhacks like Smash Remix and Goldfinger.

>>

>>7823134
I was never able to emulate Turok without needing to switch the stick controls, but on the actual controller it's not bad. I guess it's a muscle memory thing and right hand to move but left hand to aim seems heretical on a modern controller but feels right on an N64.

>>7824973
>Goldfinger.

?

>>7825082
A pretty great romhack of GoldenEye that's based on the old Bond film. You'll need an expansion pack to play it though.

https://n64squid.com/goldfinger-64-released/

>>7824973
It came in today and literally only the console isn't some Chinese knockoff. Everything feels cheap as fuck. Hopefully I'll still have fun with it.

>>7826579
you got gipped, sorry anon, hope that expansion pak isn't a knockoff too or you're in for a bad time

>>7823134
Goldeneye and Perfect Dark unironically have the best FPS control schemes on the console. The default controls are even good if you take the 10 minutes to get used to them.

>>7818630
it's a good game anon, play it with expansion pak for better frame rate

>>7822980
Truly a social console.

>>7827716
Quake is better.

Glenn Plant finally makes a new N64 video after nearly a year and its literally called "N64 games for aspergers". Ogre Battle 64, Pilotwings 64, Mario Golf, and Harvest Moon 64.

>>7816118
I like that port but my favorite way is still to get quakespasm looking chunky like it did in software mode and then putting it on a crt monitor.

>>7828757
What did he mean by this?

Feel like most hidden gems on the 64 are midway games these days.

>>7830778
they always had some fun games nobody gave a shit about

>>7797061
>Doesn't emulate well
Works on my machine

I still need a controller pak for the everdrive x7? That's gay as fuck.

>>7827980
And less complex, you aren’t able to do as much. It’s an inherently differently designed game but the fine aiming and leaning in PD and Goldeneye are more technically impressive and forward thinking than most of what is seen with Quake’s controls.

this game is fun as fuck

>>7815303
>sorry liberals but there are only two genders

>>7830778
Best developer for N64 babes

Did anything else happen with Dinosaur Planet? Like any new patches or anything?

I tried it when it initially leaked and I ended up softlocking myself after the bike section and haven't bothered to start over.

>>7837720
from what I've heard a team is making patches to make the game more playable, but it's discord-only or something.

>>7834481
>designed for Rumble Pak
>also needs a memory card to save
Sounds like a pain

>>7837724
>Discord only
Of course. Well if not much has happened with it since maybe I'll give it another whirl and see if have better luck

>>7837730
Someone posted a link to it pre-patched in this thread >>7788228

>>7803104
Spoiled rotten

>>7820390
Wind Waker is the best in the series what you talking about

>>7838195
Oh boy, I sure do love sailing to the next island for 15 minutes only to need a macguffin from an island somewhere else. Wind Waker has dungeon design, but that's about it.

>>7838197
good dungeon design*

>>7838197
The sailing was fun and offered something new to a series that was dying at the time. It got great reviews 96 on metacritic

>>7835663
Why is this game so expensive nowadays? I see press for it everywhere.. was it not well liked at the time and sold bad? Crazy this game is like $100cdn

I just played through Hexen for the first time ever and it was surprisingly awesome

>>7838449
I think partially because its US-only, so theres like 3 continents fighting over copies.

>>7838413
>a series that was dying at the time
It was at the height of its popularity? Wind Waker was the beginning of the end.

>>7806539
>I FINALLY got my N64
this thing came out over 20 years ago Jack

>>7803184
Playing this now. So fucking kino. Can’t wait to clear it and try the higher difficulties.

>>7791297
Saturn is actually the worst but I agree that I do not feel compelled to play N64 games again.

>>7806657
Cry more lel

>>7806539
>after a shipping delay!
Damn nigga it was in the mail for 25 years?

>>7823134
Have you tried playing Goldeneye with the two controller scheme? It’s weird at first, but then it becomes the only way to play on the console.

I’m playing the Turok 2 remaster on ps4, and I’m afraid I may never be able to play it on the N64 again

>>7826579
good luck finding a working memory pack

>>7839294
Already did. Some place locally had one.

>>7839294
lol they're not hard to find or hard to fix even if the battery were dead on one

>>7839294
>he can't replace a battery

>>7791310
It's the best game e'er.

How many people owned a 64 as kids but never had a memory pak? I didn't get my first memory pak until 15 years later. I had so many memory pak exclusive games too. Never even saw one in stores because I only ever bought games at a movie rental place, they didn't sell consoles or accessories.

>>7839372
Only three games required the Memory PAK. Lots were extended with it but only three absolutely needed it:
DK 64
Majora's Mask
Perfect Dark

>>7839380
He's talking about the memory pak you goof not the expansion pak

>>7839382
Well sorry. I am now in such a state of embarrassment that I must leave. Goodbye.

>>7839382
To be fair I should have said the controller pak. But its a memory card so I often call it the memory pak, which can be confusing since the expansion pak adds more memory.

Bye.

>>7839389
Yes anon it's a strange state of affairs

>>7839294
I thankfully got an official expansion pack for $34 just last week on ebay. I'm thinking of buying a second one just as a backup. Now just need to getan x7 Everdrive and I would like to wait for it to go on sale.

>>7839307
How much did they charge for it?

>>7813658
Same. I had to do it twice and nailed it the second time. It's not that bad, it's another cope for filtered SOTN losers

>>7839696
I don't think that section is hard but it still sucks
>walk real slow while simultaneously backtracking
yeah, thrilling

Making this throw is the single hardest moment in any N64 game

>>7839695
$12.

>>7839695
$12. Original N64 Nintendo made product. cleaned with a new battery.

>autosage
was fun while it lasted, would make another one but i think there's enough N64 threads on /vr/ right now

>>7840606
Why is it even on autosage?

>>7840630
for whatever reason, /vr/ threads can only last a few weeks before they get autosage'd.

>>7813175
Where does one get the UltraHDMI? There are no modders around here.

>>7840630
It has been a nice 2 weeks.

>>7791280
I decided to get an ED64 instead of an everdrive

Did I make a mistake?

>>7791327
This, easy to set up, huge library of underappreciated games, the carts dont take up much space, none of the games will leave you poor just to get one, really a party system best enjoyed with friends, and great third party controllers.

>>7840928
a few games don't work on ed64 but otherwise it works alright.

>>7840928
You paid a normal price for a product that shouldnt cost what it does when bought from Krikzz, so you made a good choice

>>7841403
Do you know what these games are?
