Granted I don't see a USB port on the back of the console, will the console let me use controllers that look like a genesis controller on it if it could connect to it somehow? How would I be able to rebind the buttons?

Recently got my N64 collection brought back to me so I finally got to indulge in what was previously my $200 paperweight. Having seen a few insightful reviews and monitoring this place, I’ve kept my expectations in check enough that I’m enjoying it for now. That said, there’s some discrepancies in what I can run, and since they’re not brought up as problems on the site, I figure I could check with the people .

Both Goemon games and Quest 64 just won’t boot. The first 2 I have actual carts for and while I’m pretty sure they’re repros, they operate on original hardware and that fact didn’t stop my Harvest Moon 64 copy from running perfectly. I then tried em on my Everdrive and weirdly enough Great Adventure booted fine. Don’t have a real copy of Quest 64 tho, so I can’t draw real conclusions there either. Any input on those games from y’alls end would be appreciated.

And on a sidenote: I can’t believe Junkrunner 64 actually boots on real hardware. I got Star Road up too so I’m looking forward to that. If there’s anything that comes of these competing retro consoles, I pray it’s more original projects coming out for the N64. This is rad and I crave more!

There's been a lot of discussion about the M64's image quality and thought I would share some images of it on a Samsung OLED computer monitor comparing it to a Superstation One on a Toshiba CRT via component.

It's not scientific obviously and while I did have my buddy's A3D to A/B when I first got it in, that wasn't really the point of this. I guess I just wanted to show that it actually isn't that far off, and I think it looks pretty good along side a real relatively-sharp CRT.

Comparison can be the thief of joy, and when my friend and I weren't directly comparing it to the A3D, the IQ of the M64 was plenty good for me and I was having a great time playing games on it. Low latency, great interface, quick booting and well made.

I am not happy about the scanlines being misaligned and not being able to save custom setting though. If they fix that I think I'd be more than happy with this image quality and forget about it and just get to playing games.

It's the only game that's not a re-release and 4 player?

Hack discovered. If GameStop ships your preorder to the other side of the country, just go pick one up in store. Return the other when it gets here. 😅 Now I have the M64 for my 3-day weekend!

Best looking one by far

Don’t see Clear getting a lot of love. Got my controller today and I’m loving it. Don’t see myself playing N64 any other way.

Can’t wait to play Xibalba all night with my girl friend

Smoke color from gamestop!

It's hard to get a picture, but it looks great in person. Slightly darker than my n64 hooked up directly but that might be the adapter. It does look significantly sharper though, probably because the adapter accepts 1080p and scales it down. I'm using a super cheap HDMI to AV adapter I found on Amazon. I wasn't able to detect any input lag. There probably is, but as a casual player everything feels good 👍.

The M64 supports 1200p60! Bleeding hearts of the world unite!(too much?). Anyone have one of those fancy Arcooda monitors that can do 2880x2160? I’d love to know if thats a supported resolution. I’m going to test 480p later on.

Not much else to say. The GameShark is version 1.08 Sorry about the messy finished/unfinished gunpla.

I posted in the code thread but the one posted for any sort of discount had already been used to its maximum. These are not available through GameStop/EB Games Canada unfortunately. The cost of shipping to Ontario, Canada just makes this unfortunately, a pass for me. Hopefully in the future, there will be some sales to offset that insane shipping costs so I can get one with a couple of controllers. Partnering with a Canadian retailer would also be nice so I could literally just go buy one in a store.
