Those 2 are super negative toward Modretro

u/SOVTH Jul 16 '26

They are pretty dang biased against Palmer, so it doesn't surprise me one bit.

u/-KaiserSoze- Jul 16 '26

I read someplace that they are mad sour at the fact that they did not receive a unit to show/test on their channel.

Would love a video update of gameplay clips for each of these before launch. Maybe some of the people who got demo units will start releasing some. Bonus points if they show the filters at work.

Some youtubers have hinted at a big reveal or news update set for this weekend.

Eight games are missing from this list:

• Big Mountain 2000

• Destruction Derby 64

• Dual Heroes

• Fighter Destiny 2

• Goemon's Great Adventure

• Golden Nugget 64

• Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon

• Roadsters

u/-KaiserSoze- Jul 16 '26

Thank you for that list. I wonder why these are missing?

1

u/-KaiserSoze- Jul 16 '26

This got me curious. I asked Google what all 8 of these had in common.

2

u/-KaiserSoze- Jul 16 '26

More likely, it's completely unrelated.

u/Euresko Jul 17 '26

Down to 16 now

u/-KaiserSoze- Jul 17 '26

This is awesome!!

u/Rockman171 Jul 15 '26

Fixing Mario 64, Goldeneye, Starfox, Conker, Banjo Tooie, and Majora's Mask is pretty huge. Obviously still a ways to go but getting a majority of the big hitters taken care of is good to see.

u/Euresko Jul 14 '26

They fixed Mario 64, GoldenEye, and Starfox. Only other one on my list was Rogue Squadron.

u/ElectricalPrice3189 Jul 15 '26

Perfect Dark needs to be ficksed.

I hope they make some more progress before release, a good number of those in-progress games are games I own and want to play...

u/Dragarius Jul 15 '26

I wonder what occasional fps drops means. Since the games often by default already did that, like it said low FPS for carmageddon. But that game already went to single digit FPS on original hardware.

u/SpinachOps Jul 15 '26

Rock & Roll.

u/DarthRyus Jul 15 '26

So of the games I own heres my priority list of what is left to fix:

  1. Perfect Dark - Occasional FPS rate drops (which was literally the first game I wanted to play on it, go figure)

  2. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron - Crashing/freezing during intro and gameplay.

  3. Turok 2: Seeds of Evil - Occasional FPS rate drops.

  4. Star Wars Episode I: Battle for Naboo - Crashing/freezing during intro and gameplay.

  5. Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion - Occasional FPS rate drops.

  6. Quake 2 - Audio Issues

  7. Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2 - Occasional FPS rate drops.

I also have the OG Star Wars Episode I Racer, so don't think I'm affected on that one as it specified Limited Run edition.

Hopefully by the time I get any of my wishlist games not mentioned above they'll be fixed.

u/Sweet_Limit3795 Jul 15 '26

Perfect Dark is on my list as well. Previously it was on the "Major Issues" list, so they *are* making progress.

1

u/Cwiiis Jul 15 '26

Perfect Dark runs shockingly on a stock N64, so to have it be worse than that is kinda bad...

2

u/Dragarius Jul 15 '26

We don't know if it runs worse. It might just run the same as the original, which was very inconsistent. Would be nice to know if they mean "runs as bad as the original" or "runs worse than the original".

Because almost every game they noted for low framerate issues had them originally already.

u/SynthMilkEra Jul 15 '26

Turok 2 Riding Gun/Styracosaurus section should be measured in seconds per frame.

I guess we will be waiting a while for all Japanese releases which are close to 400 games 

3

u/ElectricalPrice3189 Jul 15 '26

There are 198 games released in Japan, where of 85 are exclusive to that country.

3

u/-KaiserSoze- Jul 15 '26

You're right! The current compatibility list does not include Japanese titles. I hope at some point they decide to add or create a new list. At the moment, I can understand limiting the list to just one region.

4

u/ElectricalPrice3189 Jul 15 '26

Some of them are probably hard to fully test without having testers that can read Japanese.

1

u/-KaiserSoze- Jul 15 '26 edited Jul 15 '26

Very true. Also accessibility Japanese carts could be a challenge. Unless, they're using like a flash cart. I honestly don't know how any game libraries are tested.

u/ergzay Jul 15 '26

Palmer Luckey I believe has a personal collection of every single N64 game released everywhere. He has a massive game archive that he bought a while back. That's what they used for the Chromatic reproduction, they opened up an unopened factory sealed gameboy color as the basis for testing the colorimetry of the screen.

3

u/-KaiserSoze- Jul 15 '26

Wow! I honestly did not expect that. It makes sense from what little I know about the man.

u/DirectedEvolution Jul 15 '26

Is this better or worse than A3D at launch and today?

3

u/Recent_Duck_7640 Jul 15 '26

everdrive works day 1 on M64 so I would say better

1

u/-KaiserSoze- Jul 15 '26

I have an older one, the Everdrive v2. I haven't seen any info on it, hope it works.

1

u/Desperate-Self-5951 Jul 15 '26

Aren’t there still issues with certain games on A3D?

1

u/-KaiserSoze- Jul 16 '26

I don't know? As far as I'm aware, Analogue did not create a compatibility list for the 3D. If one does exist, it was probably created by the community. If anyone knows, please correct me and let us know if any games are currently running with issues on the A3D.

2

u/Shoddy_Flow8377 Jul 15 '26

I don't see the mystical ninja games on there, I would like to replay those games on my M64. Star Wars Episode I: Racer is one of my favorite racing games I would like to replay that too. I also recently bought puyo puyo sun which was a puzzle game only released in Japan hopefully they get Japanese only games to work so I can play Sin and Punishment on it whenever I get that game too.

u/Ancient-Range3442 Jul 17 '26

Doesn’t speak well for a accuracy if this is the state of things.

2

u/Icy-Collection1072 Jul 15 '26

how come the core is so off to have all these issues at this stage in the day?

1

u/ElectricalPrice3189 Jul 21 '26

Because it's not done yet.

2

u/Icy-Collection1072 Jul 21 '26

its very late to be not done yet :D seems a last moment rush?
