Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I forget which nintendo console it is, but emulating's actually MORE accurate than the console since some ceramic thing is degrading in it. I think its the NES but don't quote me on it. Was one of the reasons TAS verification was failing on actual hardware when it had previously passed.
Can't confirm. Still have a working NES, SNES, and N64 from childhood. Not even 40 yet. My grey hair and wrinkles are still confined to my testicles for the time being.
Wait I've never been 2 pictures in the same meme of this type before
Rude.
I feel bad bc I acquired one a long time ago but my cartridge collection is weak.
My collection isn't huge either. I still have my original from the 90s, but I haven't added much to my library since then.
Just gonna leave these here

I've got some cartridge from Ukraine with an SD slot in it. You can load the SD card with every ROM and then play them directly off an N64
This is great because for some reason emulators have problems with Dr. Mario but the N64 runs the ROM just fine
Krikizz Everdrive! They are awesome on every system I have them for, snes, gbc, gba, and n64. They can be picky about the sd card you use but work flawlessly once you have the right one.
My current solution is checking Switch games out of the library.
Buy ~25 games new when they come out for the N64. Amortize that out over the next 25-30 years. Thus spending $50 a year playing N64 games.
Is this how accounting works?
For anyone who hasn't discovered it yet.....emulation is so great.
I got a little emulation console for £120 (Retroid Pocket 4 pro, see my post history) 2 months ago and haven't touched my Steam Deck or gaming PC since. Highly recommended.
Yes but HDMI on N64 pls
There are hdmi mods for basically all pre hdmi consoles including n64 but they tend to be fairly pricey
N64 has pixelfx retrogem which has 2 models for 100 and 190 dollars, the more expensive model has 4k and additional scalers, the cheaper model is 720p
N64advanced v2 is open source, 4k output, and pricing depends on the group buy you can get in, 150-250
Highspeedido is on AliExpress, 720p output, and is 40-50
There’s also a few that aren’t sold anymore that you can sometimes find on ebay for $$$
The Analogue 3d will ship soon right? I'm worried I will end up with significantly (more) gray hairs before it does...
I will also take a minute to plug Krikizz and their Everdrives. I have the x6 for the snes, gbc, gba, and x7 for n64. They are an excellent piece of kit once you get a proper sd card. Slava Ukraini!
The fact N64 games are behind a subscription is what really irks me. I wouldn't mind paying €5 for Harvest Moon 64 - the way you could buy retro games on the wii - but having to pay yearly, for a bunch of games (many of which I might not even be interested in) that you can't play anymore once you stop paying? Fuck that
Panel 3, that's me right there.
Yes, I have several working controllers. Including a couple of spares, unused, still sealed.
Lucky. I have my PS3, and I'm having a horrible time finding decent replacement controllers. You can't use the new DualShocks, and compatible controllers you can buy are built so cheaply they don't work very well.
Is it bad if I'm all 3 of these?
Well yes, if you are paying Nintendo to rent games you already own physical copies of.
You would've been more correct to just stop after "paying Nintendo". Giving them money is bad, period.
Let them fade into obsolescence.
And a JPN N64 to play import games without having to drill out the region lock blocks!
Me too. I feel gross giving Nintendo money, but at least I split a family plan with a bunch of friends
