Years ago I went into a video game store in Melbourne and asked "have you got any posters that you're getting rid of?", and the guy behind the counter handed me this.

This is the only clear photo of it I've got (so ignore my head in the corner!), but it was a massive promotional poster that they would hang from the roof or stick to the wall in-store, for the release of Mario Kart 64. I'd say it's close to a meter / 3ft tall and was made of some pretty sturdy glossy paper.

I almost got a Lylat Wars / StarFox 64 poster from a different store closer to home (they even wrote my phone number on it so they'd know to call me about it), but they threw it out instead which sucks.

The image was the same on both sides, and the front side was so faded due to being hung up in my room near my window, that I had to flip it over. I stupidly threw it out about 20 years ago because it was torn at the corners and faded on both sides, and I'm kinda kicking myself, because faded or not, I'd love to re-hang this in my room.

If anyone's got a clearer photo of this particular poster, I'd love to see it.

I was reunited with my childhood N64 about 2 years ago (found in my parents’ loft) and have had a great time rediscovering old games - plus I love my Everdrive 64.

Last night I decided to play some Goldeneye and had been playing for a good hour when suddenly the picture disappeared for a moment, reappeared and then the game reloaded (not to the Everdrive menu but the game itself).

I played some more after this and saw no more issues, but it’s worrying me more than it probably should, as I love this little console - it’s a link to my childhood and so many happy memories. Prior to this it never missed a beat.

Has anyone else seen similar issues? I read maybe the power supply. I’m based in UK but console in NTSC. I’ve owned it since 1997, but it was unused from 2005-2024.

Like the subject line says. Bought an XCD AV to HDMI converter. Looks fine but the sound has a crazy amount of high-pitched background noise. Is it because these converters are crap? Or is there a solution? Anyone else had this problem?

In The Powerpuff Girls, there's an episode where the girls visit the Mayor's office and he’s playing Nintendo 64—specifically Zelda: Ocarina of Time. He gets so nervous that he can't play right, making Link run into the walls and even hit Navi! "Hey, listen!"

Took my probably 3 hours of gameplay to get through the blades in the water scene, just to not have enough money for the toll.

If I wouldn't have went the way the game seemed to lead me (to the death blades) then I wouldn't have even had to struggle with that part.

This game pisses me off so bad, but I'm glad to be able to play it again lol

So I recently visited Thailand and while at a weekend market I saw a vendor selling retro N64 games (from Japan). I got carried away and picked up a bunch. I came back home and found a Japanese N64 for sale from a local guy on FB marketplace and bought it. I picked up 2 controllers from Amazon, an American PSU, and HDMI converter.

I believe the N64 is new (or extremely lightly used), it smells like a new 90's console and is incredibly well-preserved, no signs of use, and the manuals/etc are unopened. The original controller/pokemon cards are sadly missing but otherwise it seems like I have a pretty full collection.

According to Google, this is from the Nintendo 64 "W-Get Daze" (ダブルゲットだぜ) Campaign. This was a major promotional event held in Japan for the N64.

I was wondering if it's worth using the N64 and all as a personal collection, or purchasing a separate used N64 to enjoy the games. I also considered getting a region-free game cartridge slot and opening the N64 but again, idk how rare this is, I don't want to desecrate something special 🫠

Me he comprado mi primera n64 pero el botón de reset no funciona.

Llevo mucho tiempo con mi consola n64 jugando y speedrunneando sm64 pero de pasarmelo mil y llones de veces ya no es lo mismo que antes, llevo dias buscando algunos que cambien el juego y que no sea sm64 de 1996, un claro ejemplo es sm64 shapphire. que ya lo tengo, pero va con lag y ya esta muy visto. Solo espero que los que me recomienden sean compatibles con la consola... y si ya conocen algunos, diganmelos pls.

So I was playing Spider-Man on the N64 and went through the Gallery section, right? Particularly in the slide-show cutscenes section. But then I noticed that the second-to-last one was called “Super Ock Appears” rather than “Monster-Ock Appears” like it is on the PlayStation version. Did anyone else notice this? I checked and didn’t see any instances of anyone else documenting it.

Outside of the collectibility aspect of it and owning the physical games, etc etc. is there any practical, gameplay reason to use the original hardware versus just playing the games with the Switch N64 controller via the online service? I was thinking of picking up a classic console and a few of my old favorites, but then I see they are already available on my Switch 2 basically for “free” versus having to buy a console, the games, some type of upscaler/converter etc.

Nintendo 64 Manuals now being hoarded

I recall playing a game with friends on N64 where you would try to complete a level but the whole background was like a comic book strip? I have vivid memories of placing bombs, for example, and then moving over to the next comic strip. It could be that I’m misremembering it as an N64 game but this was in like 1996 or 1997 and my friend group exclusively had N64.

Many many years ago before he passed my brother lended me his N64 for a couple of months. I was young. And I could never beat this game but I remember it. Im going to share all of the very little I remember. I know this is a shot in the dark but hopefully.

All I can clearly remember is each time I loaded it up I would start in a central hub area. A circular courtyard with doors all around. I think it was like 4 or 6 doors but im not too sure. I just remember 1 door was open and the others were locked..and when you went in the opened door you played through these levels. I remember starting in the open and eventually getting to a cave like area you fight enemies and I think there's chests.

Not a lot to go on, I know. Sorry. ,

Edit: ive remembered some more things

It was third person, and sometimes the camera was locked when you were in an area, you could move your character but the camera would stay where it is. And you played as a human

Did this in a single day on my actual N64 (with an Everdrive X5), without sound refinements as a way of showcasing the cinematic potential of Talent Studio. It’s rough, but I’m getting there with it. Hope you all enjoy the experiment.

I've been following this awesome game where you can make our own 3D Zelda dungeons or play other people's dungeons kinda like Portal 2 and its modding community!

Hi! Thanks in advance for reading and for hopefully helping a lost soul out.

I have a Nintendo 64. I've loved it since I was young but I haven't actually used it in about 10 years. I've finally decided to use it after all these years but I'm learning that getting it up and running isn't as simple as the plug and play design it was one based on.

I have an unmodified Nintendo 64 with all the original cables. I once upon a time bought a third party component adapter and used a scart lead to plug into an old sharp TV (which is no more) and this worked fine whilst I was uni, but the Nintendo took a bang one day, went black and white and I got scared and never used it since. I don't exactly know what happened that day, but either way, it's back out the box and I'm hopefully gonna be thrashing my niece in mario karts soon.

At the moment, I'm trying to use this on a Samsung LED smart TV and I know that it isn't likely to work, nor is it working for the original AV cable or the component cable. I've got a component to HDMI adapter, which is also not working to save the day. I don't have access to a crt TV, otherwise I would check on that.

I know the radx cables exist, but I'm trying to see if I could get what I have to work - I'm sure there's some sacrilege in the above that connoisseurs would curse me under their breath for, but I just wanna show my niece what's what on mario kart. I would eventually also be taking it back home with me and I have a 55" Samsung UE55U800FK smart 4k TV which I would love to have available for playing on.

So, treat me like I'm dense. Treat me like I've missed something obvious. Treat me like I'm looking at dissecting and alien and I have no idea what the green goo is. I (and my niece) appreciate anyone that may take the time to help me out!

The picture quality still looks the same to me but motion is better I guess. Print on the SummerCart 64 menu is much more legible. Has anyone had an experience where they were able to amplify the picture even more? Given these cables just convert analog signals to digital, i dont think it’s possible.
