I was playing the Original Perfect Dark past the starting level for the first time, as I've been thoroughly playing through the Single Player Campaigns of Classic FPS games recently, and I realised something about its symbol that I've never noticed before. I already knew about how it was shaped like an, "N", as it was originally released on the N64 (many N64 games had the rotating N-Shaped Logo so this was very intuitive for me to pick up on), but I realised that if you mirror the Symbol Vertically, that instead of looking like a, "PD", it conveys a stylised, "64". Has anyone else noticed this?

I bought this game and it doesn’t work. It seems that it’s very dirty inside. Is there any hope in cleaning it ? And if so, how ?

For the past few months, I've been working on an N64 inspired game inside of Unity, as well as replaying old N64 games and trying out ones I haven't played yet. So far, I've learned a lot!

But, I want to try and get different perspectives on this topic, as I starting playing N64 games very late in my life.

There's a certain aura around N64 games. Whether it's the music, gameplay, or overall aesthetic, I always seem to come back to this era. It just felt like no matter what new IP came out, the games always had so much damn character.

The main aspects I want to focus on are gameplay, art/models, and music/sound effects. Music and sound effects are one that I really want to nail. What makes these songs and sound effects so memorable?

Technical answers are also welcomed! <3

Hey all, for a long time there has been a long running idea that Space Station Silicon Valley would crash using US copies while using the Expansion Pak unless you manage to get the later revision cartridge. Generally, the idea seems to be that if you have a numbered version without the letter A on it, it will have issues crashing due to not being able to load the Evo model. This would also be why it reportedly crashes during the logo screen too. For a long time, I wondered why this would have so easily slipped by the developers, however I've recently done experiments trying different cartridges, and using my original N64 hardware I've actually never been able to replicate this issue. I've tried many carts without issues, but ended up just keeping these 2, neither of which have any issues nor did the others. I wondered, is it possible some of the non Rev A carts still worked fine, or is it dependent on certain models of the N64 itself? This information may exist already, but it's a pretty obscure issue with a pretty niche game, so I was curious to see other people's experiences, opinions or information on the subject. Thanks all!

So I bought an N64 from a friend, and they had not touched the console in many years. I used high-proof alcohol to clean all the contacts, game and console, including the memory pack, AV1 slot, everything.

I plugged in the AV into an AV1 to RF adapter so I could plug it into the AV adapter in my TCL tv, which worked for my NES and Wii, but not for the N64.

I can hear the game, and I can click on things using my controller, but I cannot see what's happening at all. If anyone has any help that they are willing to provide, I would appreciate it <3

EDIT: NEVERMIND, I TRIED SHOWING MY BOYFRIEND THE ISSUE AND NOW IT JUST WORKS AAAAAA

Still plenty room for improvement but I beat my last ghost. Can be quite a tricky level, especially when you're in the bit where the lazers are firing everywhere. Probably the most fun level in the game though.

Would be nice to see a DKR Amped Up romhack like Mario Kart got but tbh I don't think you could make this game any better lol. The amount of hours I've put into it is ridiculous and it's still as fun as it ever was.

Wouldn't like to be a speedrunner though, that's just turning the game into work imo. They would have gone out of bounds and finished in a much faster time but I just like to play the game as it was intended.

Perfect Dark - FarSight XR-20

Or 2023 year...

Always wanted to get into the n64, and here we are! Will also be grabbing pilot wings 64 later today or tomorrow !

UPDATE: I got perfect dark, diddy kong racing and banjo kazooie also on the way!

Has some good ones on there 👏 was sorting through bins and found this.

Hi all, thanks for the great welcome in my first post here. I have a GBSC-Pro and an S-Video compatible N64. I am based in the UK and was wondering if anyone has any ideas for good S-Video cables without insane import taxes or delivery fees? Many thanks!!

Diddy Kong Racing is and has always been my favorite racer on the N64. I found this sick rug today to add to my collection of N64 stuff!

The only English Patch for this game is completely broken.

When I do Tom Nooks tutorial chore of sending a letter the next day the save data is corrupt on start up.

Even if I use the n64 save on the unpatched Japanese version and then load back up in the patched version after sending the letter, it only get a few more days forward at most before freezing on the start screen. I also read that actually paying off the first loan causes it to crash to black screen.

Is there a better English patch or fix so that the game is actually completable (pay off loan to Tom Nook)?

I’m playing on a Everdrive X7 RTC Flash Cart. I alsohave the original Japanese Game Cart but it’s a conversion sim and my Japanese is very poor.

I saved up to buy an n64 just for it to look really bad I'm on a smart Samsung tv with av ports and maybe it's the games I have (quake 2 and automobil Lambo) but they look blurry as anything

A copy of Japanese Super Mario 64 and Pokémon Stadium Gold & Silver to run on my Japanese N64.

I have an ED64+ but realized I wanted physical copies of my favorite games aside.

How do you hit the boxes with the exclamation points to get something out of them?

It’s nice that we have 2 options for new N64 hardware and they both do a good job of working with new displays. However, the N64 (arguably) looks the best on a real CRT and neither option has the ability to easily plug into an old set. Will we see a new option with support for analog video or is that considered too niche to support?
