[fallen sparrow]

Bacon is my homie

[languid dune]

Check out Trilogy. It's crazy.

[fallen sparrow]

Will definitely didly-doo

[cerulean elk]

star soldier is TRIPPY AF

[languid dune]

I missed the creepy shadow characters...

[cerulean elk]

ooh that Yoshi's Story song...sounding good!

Now if the game could be better lol

[zinc dew]

ITSABANGAH

[marble cargo]

Neat, Puyo Puyo~n Party is displaying graphic now.

[zinc dew]

No analog stick

[carmine kettle]

star soldier works with some graphics issues

[cerulean elk]

Yoshi's Story menu is legit

[fair stump]

Turok runs but has completely messed up graphics

[placid quiver]

Does anyone feel like this is faster than PSX dev?

[pallid falcon]

Is Bangai-O working to some extent now?

[fair stump]

At least I have this handy map

[daring meteor]

Its slower

[cerulean elk]

Yoshi's Story is playable if you can navigate invisible levels

[marble cargo]

Suseme! Puzzle Taisen Dama is also starting to show graphics.

[languid dune]

It's like a nose!

[cerulean elk]

Bomberman 64: Second Attack is a hard freeze

[daring meteor]

I'll be waiting to see what will excite people more: Copy Mode or Two Pass mode

[languid dune]

Yes, you can get in game. Some visuals are present, but it's rough.

[marble cargo]

Mischief Makers is showing life!!! 💯

[hollow rune]

Chameleon Twist is showing Mega Man Chameleons now

That's what my mom calls them

[fair stump]

Nfl blitz is playable

[cerulean elk]

Bomberman 64 proper failed to load. As did Castlevania

[pallid falcon]

Awesome, good to know. When I tried it in an earlier core I had audio but barely any visuals.

[cerulean elk]

Cruis'n is legit!

[marble cargo]

Mario Party now shows graphics

[hollow rune]

Tongues out guns out

[zinc dew]

@brisk drum what game could this be?

[vagrant ivy]

is it Quest 6 4 ?

[hollow rune]

John Romero will make me his bitch with it. I think...

[marble cargo]

B I G
S W O R D

[cerulean elk]

Clean

[carmine kettle]

wipeout works with graphic issues

[hollow rune]

sometime CT even seems full speed

[hollow rune]

Who is your friend at the bottom of the picture?

[fair stump]

World Cup 98 loads with graphics issues but at least I get to listen to Chumbawamba

[frail jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/unwrap-present-christmas-nintendo64-christmasmorning-gif-5631572

[cerulean elk]

Bub. from Bubble Bobble

[hollow rune]

THAT'S RIGHT

[frail jolt]

Bubble Bobble is a game that has brought me many hardships

not cuz its hard... but because as a child... my sister would play it constantly, and tie up MY NES

[marble cargo]

Dr. Mario 64 is getting there. 💊

[teal citrus]

Based and Dr. Mario-pilled.

[cerulean elk]

gex gets in game. Trippy silhouettes

[teal citrus]

Wait. Did you...

...SAY GEX?

[cerulean elk]

I said Gex

[viral swift]

Gay Sex?

[cerulean elk]

3D, not 3. Havent tried 3

[chrome quest]

Some game detecting an Expansion Pak, some not.

[languid dune]

NBA Hangtime!

[pallid falcon]

I was rummaging through some of my N64 carts the other day and found some games I have no recollection of, nevermind owning the game.

[teal citrus]

You certainly did say it! https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/554/426/038

[night saddle]

Shiren 2 and Pilotwings still not loading

[hollow rune]

Worst funeral ever

[languid dune]

Still no Ogre Battle...

[teal citrus]

I wonder how the Simcopter 64 proto runs.

[cerulean elk]

Kirby 64 freeze on title screen. Mischief Makers freeze after Treasure splash

[carmine kettle]

i tried nba jam didnt work for me

[night saddle]

does the bios/PIF file used not really matter currently? I noticed that USA games are loading when I try the JP one

[pallid falcon]

I forgot Armorines even existed until I found the cart.

[languid dune]

US and JP are the same for N64.

[night saddle]

ah i thought there would be some difference since they have different hashes on vampier's page

[zinc dew]

I don’t see anything wrong here

[night saddle]

good to know, thanks

[chrome quest]

First signs of Stadium 1 menus. Oddly the PAL Stadium 1 is still stuck on the earlier logo

[fair stump]

Harrison Ford looking good

[chrome quest]

PIF can affect the PAL games

[fair stump]

Pokemon stadium USA didn't work for me pokemon stadium 2 USA you can navigate menus

[cerulean elk]

Quake gets in game then is just a floating firearm in black

[zinc dew]

Your setup is pretty cool btw

[chrome quest]

That was US Stadium 1 with NTSC pif, only menus on new core. You got not even that far? Strange

[cerulean elk]

Rush 2 has menus...gameplay impossible. Some art

[worn delta]

Out this evening, anyone tried the Zeldas?

[viral swift]

Yeah thanks Rob 😁

[solemn maple]

I like that the reflection in the ice look correct ❄️

[languid dune]

Was able to get Majora's Mask started, but it was mostly in shadow and ran at like 0.5fps.

[languid dune]

N64's ray tracing is just that good.

[cerulean elk]

did not encounter that error you were looking for @wanton sun

[fair stump]

Snowboard Kids runs but the mountain is all black so it's not actually playable

[oblique remnant]

AeroGauge shows some life too 🙂

[brisk edge]

It's a game nobody will ever play but Nushi Tsuri 64 - Shiokaze ni Notte draws like the title screen and character selection screen perfectly. And then goes to a black screen as soon as you go further lol

[solemn maple]

Mario party

[cerulean elk]

the title cards are just going to start being jokes now

[zinc dew]

Must be based in Mt. St. Helen

[cerulean elk]

tomorrow. May do AM and move Saturn to PM, or may leave it as is

[fallen sparrow]

Looks good to me

[languid dune]

Preview #11 - WTF...my life is just N64 now

[cerulean elk]

Preview #11 "It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the core again"

[frail jolt]

funny....Your channel has been a joke from the start

COMPLETELY KIDDING!!!!!... i subscribe, i bell and i patreon

[tidal zenith]

mario - are you using the n64 nso controller wired or wireless?

[carmine kettle]

@cerulean elk and @fallen sparrow always come with that video clutch very informative

[tidal zenith]

I cannot get this thing to work reliably for the life of me

[cerulean elk]

lolol I love how you spaced it out so I only saw the top part in my notifications 😆

high marks for that!

[languid dune]

Wireless

[frail jolt]

im a pro at being the asshole who is lovable

[cerulean elk]

terrible joke incoming

I do love your asshole

[tidal zenith]

mine refuses to program successfully and even when I do it stops working

it always has a phantom button press

[solemn maple]

Mega man 64 goes into gameplay but it's pretty much just a soup of black and purple

[languid dune]

Try laying it on the ground when setting it up, to avoid having the analog stick give a phantom press.

[tidal zenith]

it always moves between -2 and 0 when I run the gamepad test

so I can't

[cerulean elk]

sorry @frail jolt you set that up on the tee for me to knock out of the park

[tidal zenith]

and there are no deadzones in mister I can setup

[worn delta]

One of the Aleck64 games was getting into play but without graphics on previous builds, Star Soldier I think, might be worth a check now

[oblique remnant]

This Tennis game is already smashin'

[solemn maple]

Neat!

[languid dune]

Wow, yeah as someone else said earlier, Wipeout 64 is straight fire on the current build.

[solemn maple]

Cool, love me some Wipeout!

[pallid falcon]

Maybe by update #64 a certain person's Quest will be over.

[fair stump]

Rare games are all "nah, we're gonna sit this one out guys"

[solemn maple]

Yoshi seem to play real smooth

[native mesa]

Quest64.q64

[compact depot]

For some reason I've read "Gay Sex" the first time I saw this! 🤔

[native mesa]

Anyone tried Glover yet?

[cerulean elk]

no glove, no love...no glover, no lover

[oblique remnant]

well Diddy Kong Racing and Mickey show some good progression already. but could take a while 🙂

[solemn maple]

Oh wow, Wipeout plays really well 😲

Amazing update

[fair stump]

Extreme G actually runs a race but its all black so not playable

[solemn maple]

Wetrix works great now too

[fallen sparrow]

Thanks, 😊
@cerulean elk ones have more technical information though

[cerulean elk]

lol we just circular hype each other up on here

[plush summit]

It's all you had to say🥰

[languid dune]

Think I've wrapped up my testing for the day. The game with the biggest leap has to be Mortal Kombat Trilogy. It went from pretty much all black screen before, to now being fully playable and looking almost perfect. Crazy.

[solemn maple]

In Wayne Gretzky 3d hockey the time instantly goes to 0 during each period

[zinc dew]

All the rare games require a custom RDP renderer for the googly eyes

[nova grotto]

Mischief Makers it's booting it's first 2 logos (N64 logo . Enix logo and Treasure logo) but it freezes when the intro tries to boot

[chrome quest]

Reminder to late testers, Robert had a post above. Keep note of any flickering palette pixels with sub E8000 numbered errors if you can

[languid dune]

Only issues I'm seeing in MK Trilogy are some minor graphic glitches here and there, and a bit of slow down at times. But it's otherwise near perfect.

[cerulean elk]

worked great for me too

[zinc dew]

Thanks for the reminder, I pinned that comment

[lament escarp]

Oot is still a yellow line, mm still a slide show... at least the name entry in mm is better

[manic basin]

Thanks Shadowgate.

[nova grotto]

Which other games are running near perfect ?

[pallid falcon]

You still have hope.

[languid dune]

Cruis'n USA is also really good now.

[manic basin]

Hope left town with my ex. 😦

[hollow rune]

It really is a pretty system when the games are done right

[lament escarp]

Aydin chronicles has text. And you can play in high resolution!

[carmine kettle]

crusi n usa and world works expect exotica . both runs slow

[orchid nimbus]

Freedom!!

[manic basin]

Sim City 2000 is playable. It's all in Japanese and uses high res so it looks funky. But it works!

[hollow rune]

There is a racing game that is also high res, no?

No face Mario 64 isn't working for me anymore

NVM, just has to reset core

[nova grotto]

Thanks Buddy First time in my life I'm playing that game and let me tell the graphics are beautiful it reminds me a little bit of Road Rash Jailbreak races

[manic basin]

I'm not sure... but I'll look it up! It's very slow, but it's totally functional so far.

[hollow rune]

I think we need a permanent wireframe wave mode for Wave Race 64

[manic basin]

Does the singer for Clay Fighter sound like Lemon Demon to anyone else?

[native mesa]

One thing testing makes me realize is just how small the N64 library was

[versed cairn]

it's pretty easy to win the whole first cup now

[native mesa]

During PSX testing there were tons of games to test

[native mesa]

Are you applying a filter?

[nova grotto]

We can't compare Ps1 library with N64 in terms of quantity

[cerulean elk]

up to 19 minutes in the edit and two more games to add

[versed cairn]

yeah some blur and a little scanlines. the pixels are a little too sharp for me

[nova grotto]

btw are you video game esoterica ?

[cerulean elk]

Yep. I got bullied into staying "awbacon" here lol

I am VGEsoterica everywhere else

[native mesa]

Gross, but I'll forgive you for the chonky spyro

[nova grotto]

Good to see here Man

[cerulean elk]

thanks. Ive been around here for...too long probably. Three years? I dunno now

[nova grotto]

haha , which is your most anticipated N64 game ?

[hollow rune]

Is Lu in the Discord?

[cerulean elk]

Bomberman Hero...which we got today!

[oblique remnant]

Biofreaks looks good already

[native mesa]

Lol looks like Chicago Game Collector has a fan

[nova grotto]

Give me a sec I'm gonna try it xd

[manic basin]

Paper Mario: "Is this your name?" "Yes." "SATANS WHISPERS!!"

[native mesa]

I don't understand the Bret Hart

[nova grotto]

At this pace looks like in less than 3 months the core is gonna be completed 👀

[native mesa]

Oh Shawn Michales

Who is earl though

[nova grotto]

just saying

[plush summit]

I can't even respond without getting censored lol, its the ref who called the match

[native mesa]

Speaking of which anyone try No Mercy?

[reef trench]

oh man, this is perfect. I just tested positive for covid, I know what I'm messing with today

[oblique remnant]

Hail to the king baby 🙂

[native mesa]

You should probably rest instead homie

[reef trench]

who needs rest when there is Cruis'n USA?

but yeah I will do some of that as well, for sure

[ocean lily]

eyyy, tetrisphere is (painfully) playable

[reef trench]

Bust a Move 2 is uh... technically playable

[manic basin]

And you can read the options to set stick movement finally!

[reef trench]

turned into the 2600 port

[thick terrace]

I guess I need to switch controllers from my original playstation controller.

[nova grotto]

I have a doubt , what we are seeing now in this core in it's current state is N64 without the filter right ?

[orchid nimbus]

and a lot of RDP functionality missing

that will take another 6~12monhts according to Robert

[daring meteor]

Without the filter, Datacache, TLB, Pallete Transparency, Copy mode, Two pass mode, etc etc

[drowsy lantern]

I don't trust timeframes given by Robert anymore. RDP's gonna be done in 3 months tops 😛

[slate sundial]

Appears so, and I hope the filtering is the last thing to be developed

[daring meteor]

I think by early October it'll be feature complete

[solemn maple]

Flower cup was a bit tricky with two of the races being completely dark

[daring meteor]

Which races?

[viscid gate]

On the homebrew front, POMPCE99 kinda works

[warped cobalt]

Robert is like Scotty on Star Trek: I need 2 months! You got 2 days. Ok I will do it.

[solemn maple]

Toads turnpike and Choco mountain

[orchid nimbus]

chocobo mountain

[nova grotto]

btw how can I play namco museum ? everytime I try to play pacman it freezes does that game must have some kind of patch like sm64 in order to work ?

[solemn maple]

Rainbow road look better than on real hardware 🌈

[placid quiver]

First playable game by December 😉

[frail jolt]

Robert's clock works like a GTA clock, 1 day is 24 minutes

[daring meteor]

Weird, no errors

[ocean lily]

what we've all been waiting for @zinc dew

[daring meteor]

Any of you know what's the best mapping for an Xbox S controller? (6 button)

[placid quiver]

But I do expect large jumps to slow down some but the fact we are here is nuts

[zenith orchid]

does mapping the c buttons to an analog stick work for you guys?

I have a DS3

[thick terrace]

so... tomorrow, then?

[viscid gate]

Yes, have done that with a DS4

[hearty oar]

Yeah I mapped them to c-stick on GameCube controller

[drowsy junco]

Are you using one of those gamecube controller adapters with the 2 USB cords?

[golden pilot]

The Mortal Kombat games look almost perfect now.

[orchid nimbus]

once alpha blending is in - w00t w00t

[zenith orchid]

I'm thinking about using circle and x for A and B.. so I guess triangle and square could be for fast forward or something, when its implemented

[orchid nimbus]

@zenith orchid what about your c sticks?

[hearty oar]

Yeah, I’m using the Wii U adaptor from Nintendo. I merged a patch for the driver a little while ago

[languid dune]

Yeah! Peach's got it!

[hearty oar]

Actually not sure if sorg has cut a release from unstable yet since then…

[cerulean elk]

and video done. See you tomorrow @ 4 PM CST

[languid dune]

The most important time zone.

[cerulean elk]

@wanton sun dont make me go back into the video lol...I have half a mind to fly to Germany and go take you out and get you hung over for our sanities 😆

[languid dune]

When you said "take you out", for a moment I thought you meant something much more sinister! 💀

[cerulean elk]

hahaha no just for underbergs and beers

[lament escarp]

Is this a daily show now?

[cerulean elk]

Bomberman gets top billing because Bomberman

[cerulean elk]

tomorrow. I wont do two in two days

@fallen sparrow goes tonight. I think we trade days now

[zenith orchid]

@orchid nimbus don't have an adapter for gc controller

[lament escarp]

I watch them twice anyway. Once when they come out and I fall asleep and again in the morning when I get ready for work.

[frail jolt]

@cerulean elk - dudes calling your videos boring, you going to take that from him!?

settle this on the streets

the mean streets

....of mario party

[cerulean elk]

he never said what he was doing in bed while he listened

[frail jolt]

lol

[lament escarp]

Nah, he is releasing them at 11pm in my timezone, when I usually have to go to sleep

[frail jolt]

that... was a perfect response

[languid dune]

Anyone that is having trouble setting up the Nintendo Switch Online N64 controller (due to phantom inputs from the overly sensitive analog stick), place this file in your "/media/fat/config/inputs" folder. This will map it for the core without the mess of dealing with the issues.

[cyan pagoda]

Oh you’re here too, I discovered your channel few days ago. It’s really great. Thank you for your work ! It’s nice that it’s also showing Pocket cores.

[languid dune]

Worked with @tidal zenith to set that up since he was having the same issue.

[tidal zenith]

PS do you recall which button you set for savestates?

[languid dune]

I didn't actually. They aren't implemented yet, so I didn't set that.

[remote hatch]

Nuclear Strike

[compact depot]

Damn! The games that I’ve tested seem to be running at the correct speed? Robert is a wizard!

Mario Kart 64 seems to be so close to almost perfection! 😱

[cerulean elk]

man four voice overs before the N64 video...time to go drink a gallon of honey

[hollow rune]

Wait he is putting another one out tonight?

[lament escarp]

Tomorrow i think

[cerulean elk]

Yea tomorrow. It’s uploaded but won’t go live till tomorrow at 4

[lament escarp]

Wipeout is decently playable

[cerulean elk]

Big MiSTer day tomorrow. Sega Saturn in the morning. N64 in the evening

[lament escarp]

Seriously you make really good vids but you upload at the worst time for me. Keep going.

[languid dune]

Glad to see the Saturn make a come back. As much as I'm excited for N64, Saturn is even more exciting for me personally.

[cerulean elk]

You’d think it would have been gone for awhile but it’s been recentlyish. N64 just blew up suddenly

But Saturn went nowhere 🙂 plenty more Saturn coming

[lament escarp]

Is there even anything new on the saturn? Didn't see a new build

[remote hatch]

Densha de go

[zinc dew]

HOW

I tried launching it and it didn't work

DENSHA DE WOAH

[brisk drum]

Shit WHUT I miss?

[weary palm]

@wanton sun Maybe you have done some research of your own, but "-g" VS "-O2" compiler flag makes quite the difference! The core is definitely bottlenecked (solely?) by the CPU. ~10 -> ~18 fps.

[cerulean elk]

No. It’s just testing new games that work

Saturn vids are unlike N64 in which a lot of them are just pure testing core vids on cores we already have

Much like @languid dune my fav console of that gen to talk about is Saturn

[languid dune]

No Daikatana yet sadly.

[lament escarp]

Cpu cache is still missing so cpu bottleneck is expected right now

[brisk drum]

Dayuuumm

[ocean lily]

maybe once the cpu cache is in, tetrisphere won't lag so bad - it reminds me of early p64 builds as it is currently

[weary palm]

@lament escarp of course, but it's nice to see that it makes this much of a difference. That the RDP has little to do with it.

[lament escarp]

When the core is really stable you'll have to educate me on the best games to experience, I never played it.

[languid dune]

@zinc dew Is it worth pinning this? Your thoughts?
#1096015979055697940 message

[cerulean elk]

Oh man that list will be long

[ocean lily]

Magic Knight Rayearth

[zinc dew]

As much as I want to because I have an NSO controller, it's not directly related to testing so I won't pin it. I'm sorry.

[remote hatch]

Yeahhhh

Fighting force

[languid dune]

No problem. That's why I asked!

[pallid falcon]

Thanks for the config, I'll have a go with my NSO controller over the weekend.

[zinc dew]

that's the fat baby game

[languid dune]

Show em what's what! With force!

[pallid falcon]

AND fighting

[languid dune]

One of the greatest fat baby games ever!

[zinc dew]

#1046941029296779344 message

[lament escarp]

I respectfully disagree, I heard quite a few times that the nso controller is a bitch to set up. Not getting the controller to work is a problem for testing. Pls don't ban won't ever disagree. K thanx bye!

[brisk drum]

@languid dune can you please test flying dragon for me ?

[zinc dew]

I know what you're saying, but because you can use a wide variety of controllers and not just NSO I don't want to pin a solution for a rare and specialty controller

I'm sorry

genuinely, I feel bad lol

[lament escarp]

No problem, just wanted to mention it.

[zinc dew]

yeah it does look cool

I am excited to play it when the core gets more stable

[pallid falcon]

Maybe @orchid nimbus could include the NSO config file on the N64 core FAQ, or a link to the post

[languid dune]

It's actaully one of the best running games on the core now.

[zinc dew]

Ohhh yeah, that's a great idea!

His page is like the community FAQ, more info more everything. The pins here I'm currently trying to steer towards what is useful for testing and what would help Robert.

the more stable the core gets the more the pins should start to err towards community needs

[lament escarp]

I feel like the nso, 8bitdo modkit, brawler and snac gonna be the most used controllers for the core, as the 4 c-buttons don't translate that well to common 4-face-button controllers.

[zinc dew]

I hope so, the N64 controller design is very neat

I currently map the C buttons to the right analog stick myself and double up on C left and C down to X and A (nintendo layout)

[pallid falcon]

I look forward to getting a blister on the palm of my hand after playing Mario Party

[chrome quest]

Those plus USB adapters I suppose. It'd be curious to know what people have alright. SNAC maybe down the line for me, but Raphnet may be all I need

[weary palm]

You don't have a glove?

[lament escarp]

I already didn't like that solution in the hc ports of oot and mm.

[pallid falcon]

I'm not a pro gamer, despite what my YT videos may show otherwise

[weary palm]

https://www.cnet.com/culture/nintendo-offers-glove-to-prevent-joystick-injuries/

[zinc dew]

I got that "don't sue us' freebie glove for the original mario party but obviously lost it shortly thereafter lol

[languid dune]

Ask, and yee shall receive!

[weary palm]

with that glove you can grind your controller stick to plastic dust in no time and with no pain!

[remote hatch]

Off road

[pallid falcon]

Nice. Are either of the Fighters Destiny games working?

[lament escarp]

Check your stick range though. It's right now a problem as the n64 stick had a range of +-80ish, modern sticks use +-127ish, and some usb adaptors chance the range to the latter.

[marble cargo]

Oh thank you! I'll put this on my SD card as soon as I can!

[pallid falcon]

I had the original Fighters Destiny, but the sequel never came out in Europe.

[cerulean elk]

Oh man that list will be long

[weary palm]

it makes sense that USB adaptors would use the full range.

[chrome quest]

I think maybe all USB adapters will do that alright, for PC use. Though, I have sent a support ticket to Raphnet. The v3 adapter uses their "advXarch" which has a manager to make adjustments to adapter, including "changing the scale of the values returned by axes".
No N64 option to configure from what I can tell (yet), but maybe......

[tidal zenith]

do any of the controller input tests for n64 work on the core yet?

have seen screen shots here but I think they're from real systems

[brisk drum]

This is the game that got me into fighting games believe it or not

We ain’t had no capcom fighters in the old n64

[lament escarp]

Good idea. Maybe I'll send a mail to 8bitdo to adjust range in their firmware. Though i doubt they'll listen to me. They never do.

[chrome quest]

Yeah, controllertest does, but you need to load a savestate once you launch it to use it. Robert shared that here; #1096015979055697940 message

[lament escarp]

Controllertest works when you load the savestate robert provided.

[tidal zenith]

awesome, thanks

[languid dune]

I'm trying to think of games that benefit the most from using an actual N64 controller. The one that first comes to mind is Mischief Makers. Mapping something like the c-buttons to the right analog stick is not a replacement considering how they're used in that game.

[pallid falcon]

I actualy preferred the SNES KI game over KI Gold (KI 2 wasn't as good as the original coin-op in my opinion)

[weary palm]

Project64 uses ranges -83 to +83

[lament escarp]

I guess the upside is most controllers will suffer from the range problem, so it'll get a solution for sure.

[lament escarp]

Don't forget to dedicate the 3h vid on the matter to me. 😄

[pallid falcon]

Hexen used the c buttons for different actions. I think you even had to combine one with the trigger for some function

[weary palm]

I once saw a picture or video of some games acting really weird with the full -128 to +127 range

trying to find it again

[pallid falcon]

Impossible to save on Doom N64 without proper c buttons too

[spare meadow]

Don’t know if anyone write this before, but Mortal Kombat Trilogy is totally playable 😀😀😀

[cerulean elk]

I have played more N64 in the last week weeks than I have in the last two years I think

[languid dune]

The most improved game from this update.

[pallid falcon]

I had to look it up, as it's been a while since I played it - you need to press the left and right c buttons at the same in order to save. Impossible to do if c buttons are configured to a joystick or d-pad

[marble cargo]

Sin & Punishment is one example that comes to mind, as it uses the Z button and control stick to shoot at stuff.

[void hemlock]

has anyone tried Pokemon Snap yet? would love to see how that looks already heh

[spare meadow]

Killer Instinct is almost there too😀

[languid dune]

If only the matches would load!

[fair stump]

I don't believe that worked for me when I tried earlier

[cerulean elk]

Is Bomberman Hero

[languid dune]

That too actually.

But MK Trilogy went from total black screen to almost perfect. Bomberman Hero at least had some visuals in the start up animation before now.

[chilly ember]

What about Superman?

[lament escarp]

Didn't boot at all for me

[languid dune]

Definitely not trying to discount the incredible improvment that Bomberman Hero went through though.

[lament escarp]

Menus are better, gameplay is the same

[chilly ember]

Dang

No flying through rings yet

[vapid hawk]

anyone tried RE2 today?

[languid dune]

More of the title screen is visible, but still no in-game yet.

[vapid hawk]

thanks

[chilly ember]

Does it say "resident evil"?

[vapid hawk]

i heard it does yeah

[languid dune]

It does! But it doesn't get to saying "2" yet...

[chilly ember]

Lame

[vapid hawk]

wonder what its hanging on

maybe save stuff

[languid dune]

It's getting hung up on Angel Studio's wizardry.

[vapid hawk]

possibly heh

does it give an error code when it stops?

[lament escarp]

You already can. They're just really hard to see!

[languid dune]

It still blows my mind that they got that game to fit on a 64MB N64 cart.

[vapid hawk]

i should really just install the core, it's getting super exciting

[languid dune]

Doooo it!

[lament escarp]

When the n64 loading shenanigans are in the stable main everbody should install n64

[tidal zenith]

NSO stick seems decent

[languid dune]

If anyone was going to get that stick right, it's Nintendo.

[chilly ember]

I would hope so

[vapid hawk]

they had access to all the original moulds still probably

[chrome quest]

Curious to see a few NSO tests all be a little different. Think Robert's was close with a noticable increase in "UP", and at the time someone else had the same

[languid dune]

Heck, Nintendo made a better Genesis controller than any of Sega's reproductions.

[tidal zenith]

i wish t his controller had a calibrate function like on a real n64

mine is always y: 2

[native mesa]

Hmm games aren't working for me now. Do i need to be on unstable?

[vapid hawk]

doesn't it?

[tidal zenith]

if it sort of jiggle it, it'll set back to 0

[vapid hawk]

L+R+Start to recenter doesn't work on the NSO?

[tidal zenith]

i dont think so?

[zinc dew]

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to these awesome people who blitzed through a bunch of games earlier today and excitedly shared photos with all of us:

@marble cargo @oblique remnant @chrome quest @fair stump @viral swift @cerulean elk @hollow rune @languid dune @manic basin @silent marten @orchid nimbus @remote hatch @ocean lily @viscid gate @solemn maple @reef trench @versed cairn

Y'all and everyone else in this channel are the reason why this Discord is so amazing and why the N64 core is so amazingly exciting to talk about! 🥳

||If I missed you I'm so sorry, I was basically just looking for photos from when the test build was posted then copying the name down.||

[languid dune]

I thought that was a system level thing?

[tidal zenith]

probably

[native mesa]

I WAS AT WORK

[zinc dew]

git gud

lmao I'm kidding

[vapid hawk]

at very least it has to calibrate when you first power it up so you can probably slightly offset it that way

[languid dune]

And thank you for all the work you've done to make this community great as well! It would seriously not be the same without you.

[zinc dew]

yeah it would be better lmao

still counting down the days until I get banned

[languid dune]

As a mod, you can make it happen right now!

[silent marten]

Thanks for the shout out Robby

[zinc dew]

dude, I gave myself a time-out by posting that post initially because I had too many @ lmao

fucking el oh el, Kitrinx laughed at me

[languid dune]

lmao!

[carmine kettle]

@silent marten mvp

[desert crow]

you have been letting the pin powers go to your head and getting a little pin happy 🙂

[zinc dew]

yeah I'm sorry lol

[silent marten]

Awww thanks obieone 🙂

[languid dune]

Accidentally timing yourself out is the most Robby thing a Robby could do. Classic Robby!

[desert crow]

I'm of course joking, nobody can be mad at Robby

[zinc dew]

If you are and don't feel comfortable talking to me about it please let anyone else on the moderation team know. Seriously, if I mess up then I want to fix it.

[native mesa]

Does anyone have the latest noface patch?

[lament escarp]

They're pinned

[desert crow]

^ classic Robby

[languid dune]

I'm go'n straight to yo face with my complaints!

[native mesa]

bps? does lunar ips do bps?

[languid dune]

"Classic Robby" is going to become the new thing whenever Robby pulls a Robby.

[lament escarp]

I still feel bad about disagreeing with you earlier about the nso file. You're too damn likeable.

[languid dune]

As with all the mods, they're just doing their job. They appreciate honest feedback, even if they don't always agree with it.

[reef trench]

Cruis'n USA is running surprisingly well

[languid ore]

Anyone try mischief Makers? It running yet?

[reef trench]

@languid ore it boots, but freezes up before the title screen

[languid dune]

Very minor visuals showing up in the intro now, but that's it.

[zinc dew]

I mean I could be wrong!

[zinc dew]

I hesitate to share this here but what the hell

That’s real, it’s in Japan. Supposed to say “robbery alarm”

[languid dune]

You should stand in front of it, and say "I got dis"

[native mesa]

dang it would be nice if the no face patch also skipped the peach lakitu intro

[vapid hawk]

someone made one that goes right to level select

[zinc dew]

for what it’s worth, it’s helpful to run through that intro as today we say Peach’s face work for the first time lol

[vapid hawk]

also you know, you gotta just soak in the majesty

mario in 3 dimensions

what a time to be alive

[reef trench]

more black box antics with MK Mythologies. This game is such a turd

[native mesa]

I'm having the weirdest issue.

Does CIFS mounting cache somewhere?

[cerulean elk]

That made the video tomorrow. Such a weird game

[manic basin]

The splines. They must be....reTICulated.

I was pretty shocked. A little slow, but it's totally functional.

[mellow terrace]

This core is about as amazing and shocking as the day UltraHLE came out back in the 90’s. Robert never ceases to amazing me!!! 🙌 Every day is like Christmas

[manic basin]

What's the issue? Are you asking if images get cached or if there's a settings/service cache?

I believe it uses fscache like most network mounts on Linux.

[weary palm]

Interesting that the N64 restrictor gate is somewhere in between a regular octagon and a square.

[elfin relic]

neon genesis evangelion gets as far as a few seconds into mission 01 before hanging

so that's neat

[zenith orchid]

that is interesting indeed. does that make diagonals faster than the cardinal directions?

[weary palm]

The diagonals are farther away from the center than the cardinals. If the distance from center to right is 84 units, the center to up/right is around 96.

Depending on how the game is programmed, the diagonals could indeed be faster. 🙂

[weak hill]

i want one!, do you recommend them?

[manic basin]

Midway Arcade is loading and some games are kinda playable.

(Headphone warning)

[weary palm]

Maybe we want different scaling factors for different angles, to allow full range for circular and octagonal restrictors. Lol, sounds complicated. xD

Joust!

[fallen sparrow]

New vids out, gonna sleep now. Thanks everyone that tested games early, I did use some of those in the video.

Have a good day/night all.

[marble cargo]

Oh I tried booting that, but got nothing earlier. Maybe I have a bad ROM.

[native mesa]

Has anyone else gotten CIFS mounted games to work? I thought it used to. May be a regression?

[manic basin]

I'm using CIFS for my games.

Try running the mount script again. When you change MiSTer binaries it can unmount and you have to just rerun cifs_mount.sh to reset the connection.

[native mesa]

I tried umounting and mounting a few times, no go

Or you saying don't unmount

[manic basin]

Nah, that should work. Hmmm. Do you have an N64 folder on your SD card? If so remove that.

[vapid hawk]

is any of your other cifs mounted stuff working in other cores? or just n64?

[manic basin]

And make sure the PIF boot rom is in your cif share.

[native mesa]

Yeah I do. That makes sense

[manic basin]

Nagano is looking great. I just played some curling. I couldn't get the rock in the house though. Just like that time Dwayne Johnson was passed out in my garage.

[native mesa]

That worked thanks

[native mesa]

Works armageddon works really well

[thorny marten]

this core is starting to get really spicy now

[manic basin]

Wow, so does Shadows of the Empire! edit: Oh, I see that @fair stump already mentioned this one. Well, it's far from perfect, but it's fast and sounds great!

[remote hatch]

Bottom of the 9th

[rapid prairie]

Of course the day I’m in the office the new core update explodes with awesome. Can’t wait to mess around with wherever the core is this weekend!

[wild panther]

i guess I'm blind because i can't find the Test builds section for the core lol

[remote hatch]

https://discord.com/channels/647909397477195803/737506076806611064

[wild panther]

oh. ty. i dont have access anyway. thanks for your time ❤️

[paper orchid]

Check out the roles, you need to add a role to get access

[native mesa]

It's actually kinda funny to see how heavily they relied on texture filtering

[wild panther]

thanks for the heads up! @paper orchid

ill do that now

[paper orchid]

No problem, it got me yesterday too lol

[vapid hawk]

texture filtering can do loads of cool tricks when artists are smart about it

[cerulean elk]

Perfect. Just how I remember it

[placid quiver]

Still require unstable main?

[remote hatch]

Yes

[cerulean elk]

Yep

[placid quiver]

Mmm I'll watch from the sidelines; I'm too lazy for that file management tonight

[native mesa]

Works fine for me on regular old mister main

[cerulean elk]

Did it go off unstable and I just didn’t notice?

[remote hatch]

Nope

[cerulean elk]

Yeah I didn’t think so

[orchid nimbus]

I put a massive section in my FAQ - ffs

https://vampier.net/N64/ why am I even doing this lol

[brisk edge]

I remember when my friend bought a crate of japanese n64 games, this one was one we played a lot lol

[native mesa]

Unless my update all is pulling unstable mister main then I am on the stable one

[orchid nimbus]

I am becoming unstable myself - need food

[thorny marten]

are you using the insert coin script? that could be pulling the unstable

[orchid nimbus]

^^ this is reality now

[manic basin]

Yarp

[orchid nimbus]

Not a joke anymore

[manic basin]

The world is a sick sad place

[thorny marten]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-batman-the-dark-knight-joker-movie-gif-18271886

[random portal]

watching your video and I am ASTOUNDED at how nice Cruse'n USA looks in the footage and I hope it plays just as good 🙀

[brisk edge]

once it's actually playable don't forget there's a rebalance / qol patch and a randomizer now if anyone is actually interested in playing it lol

[native mesa]

theypsilon update_all

[vapid hawk]

wait really? someone actually bothered

ok now i might actually check it out lol

[orchid nimbus]

My PSX and Saturn scripts have the capability to to update unstable

[cerulean elk]

I put it in tomorrows video just for the fans

[orchid nimbus]

Soon for the N64 core too

[manic basin]

Doom 64 is totally playable. In the map view. Hehe.

[orchid nimbus]

Turok too

[brisk edge]

https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/7447/
https://hangedman.itch.io/merrow

[zinc dew]

Yeah the French Vanilla version?

Yeah that’s how I plan on playing it

[brisk edge]

it definitely goes a long way in making it more palatable

[cerulean elk]

Walking to meet my wife for dinner. 98 degrees and 82% humidity at 7 pm is horse shit!

[zinc dew]

It’s fascinating to see fans improve a game which could’ve been the result of just one more month of play testing and balance adjustments

[native mesa]

Where in the world

[cerulean elk]

Chicago

[native mesa]

Yeah I'm like one great lake away. Crazy how different it can be

[brisk edge]

yeah, it's super neat to see. I'm always appreciative that someone cares to go back and try to fix issues or improve a game. Help keeping the legacy of older titles alive

[manic basin]

The Chameleon Twist english patch is pretty playable. Some slowdown. But mostly playable.

[brisk edge]

my boy Davey

[zinc dew]

But it’s already available in English?

Is it like Re-translation?

[elfin relic]

https://www.romhacking.net/translations/2767/

This patch shoehorns (one of) the official translations into the Japanese game. It was edited minorly to remove obvious typos, and some redundant lines were dropped in the interest of all the important dialog getting stuffed in there (Get a high score, and try to get a high score!). Where text needed to be localized the original style of “talking down to a 7 year old through a language barrier” was utilized. Resisted the urge to alter existing dialog, so yes, “time attack” remains localized to “training”.

The Japanese game has a number of notable differences. There is a carrot in each world to collect, unlocking two minigames and…something else! Several rooms are completely different, the “boss rush” is more difficult, powerups appear in single player, there’s two more characters, and 1P can play multiplayer against up to three COMs. There’s several internal differences too, like how it doesn’t bork the save commands and isn’t silly about controller paks. Messy code though; honestly not certain if v1.1 fixed more bugs than it introduced–script included.

[zinc dew]

Wow

[trim birch]

is the most recent rbf linked in here somewhere?

[elfin relic]

#test-builds message

[trim birch]

agh i knew it was right under my nose. thanks for the reminder.

[fair stump]

Performance isn't great but home run challenge at least works

[mortal apex]

Hi everyone! I've been reading this channel for a while, at first mostly to follow Robert's amazing progress on the core. Couldn't post before today for cellphone related reasons, but I really like the vibe so here I am!

[zinc dew]

Welcome and thank you for joining us! 🍻

[mortal apex]

I tried loading Robert's save state in the forbidden game earlier, is this old news?

[chrome quest]

New news to me! I tried that earlier and got nothing, think I need to rename the savestate file for my ROM maybe

[vague sun]

So many playable games now! This is awesome.

One notable one is that Cruisin USA is fully playable

[mortal apex]

Yeah I think that's what I had to do to make it work

[zinc dew]

I wish it was Exotica that was playable 😭

[vague sun]

So we have a full time duntz now?

[zinc dew]

lol yea

Is Exotica bad?

[vague sun]

No, same to me. I'm just glad to see more fully playable games.

[zinc dew]

Ohhhhh I see. Yeah I wasn’t complaining, just making a joke.

[vague sun]

I know, hence the duntz comment. Don't mind me, I'm grumpy.

[zinc dew]

No problem! Also how can you be grumpy, you’re rocking psygnosis my brother. That’s badass.

[mild ether]

No Vivid Dolls yet. 😭

[kind nimbus]

Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey is looking good and very playable

[zinc dew]

you better tell us when it’s playable!

[random portal]

would you guys agree that the best way to currently test roms is by running kiosk demos exclusively?

or are we just running games until they crash?

[mild ether]

Will report fully.

Tower & Shaft is fully playable.

[zinc dew]

This is a great way to blitz through the entire library to see what works and what doesn’t - https://github.com/wizzomafizzo/mrext/blob/main/docs/launchseq.md

We’re just largely testing to see what is actually playable, not really seeing how far it’s playable

But important to keep this request from Robert in-mind: #1096015979055697940 message

[random portal]

whao I would have loved that script when I was rummaging through the PS1 library 😆

[zinc dew]

Haha well you can thank our good friend @maiden wyvern

[mild ether]

Star Soldier Vanishing earth is almost playable. Graphics are a bit scrambled.

Wow, this is quite the update

[desert crow]

Did you notice that it displayed mostly correct for one frame in your video?

[mortal apex]

Yeah, I think it's from the ram in the save state or something like that. The core used to freeze on that frame.

[vapid hawk]

the actual framebuffer is in the savestate so that makes sense

[mild ether]

Wow this is really impressive improvement.

[vapid hawk]

now i'm curious if you could extract screenshots from svestates actually 🤔

[desert crow]

yeah it's from the savestate, figured some quest fan would like to see it

[kind nimbus]

Wayne Gretzy's Hockey is like the only 3rd party game I've been able to get started and it look quasi-normal

Turok 1 is a bit of a mess 😭

[zinc dew]

THAT IS AMAZING THANK YOU!

[kind nimbus]

This is normal, right?

[zinc dew]

Yes

[vapid hawk]

yeah there's still a lot of unimplemented stuff

[vapid hawk]

games that look right are way more unusual than games that don't

[kind nimbus]

Interiors loading in Powerpuff girls now

[cerulean elk]

Yep. Exactly how the game looked when new

[mild ether]

World tour I grew up with.

[random portal]

dang

hard to believe this is N64 on MiSTer

[kind nimbus]

OffRoad Challenge actually looks decent and is playable, but it's running at maybe 15fps.

[random portal]

yeah most games ran at that speed

[kind nimbus]

Seems especially slow tho

I'll have to find video of the real game

Handled well....

Nothing like playing N64 games with this badboy

[random portal]

did you know there is a Xeno Crisis on N64?

[mild ether]

Pretty unbelievable.

[dreamy ridge]

just out of pure interest, does anyone know the technical reason there are black boxes around the sprites?

[vapid hawk]

basically transparency rendering isn't working yet

which is how those work - the sprite is a big square with a chunk around the edge marked as transparent

kinda like a .png or something

[dreamy ridge]

interesting. it's also very interesting that some sprites aren't squares, like the trees in mario 64 and the bananas in mario kart

[kind nimbus]

Checking to see if BIO Freaks, the best fighting game ever made, works

[vapid hawk]

what shape are they? i hadn't noticed that

[vapid hawk]

think you mispelled clayfighter64 there

[dreamy ridge]

the trees are almost a triangle if i'm remembering right, and the fill color is dark green and not black

[random portal]

BioFreak is absolutely the best fighting game N64 has only second to Killer Instinct

[vapid hawk]

i actually remember renting biofreaks and quite enjoying it

[vapid hawk]

it was novel how much you could run around and stuff in 3d, pre powerstone

[kind nimbus]

Bio Freaks works before Mario 64, you heard it here folks. Robert knows what's up

[random portal]

I have memories with the PS1 version and it was always unavailable to rent because they didnt order enough copies. never found out who my fellow BioFreaks bro was.

[dreamy ridge]

that was always a rush going into a video rental store on a friday night, you go in knowing the exact game you want and as you scan the shelf you see it...

[mild ether]

And no copy behind the box. 😭

[kind nimbus]

Now trying the superior 63 1/3rd

[random portal]

I'm surprised about the number of games I'm coming across that support dpad

from memory, I have ALWAYS used analog stick on N64 except Killer Instinct and ClayFighter 63 3/4

[kind nimbus]

There was likely a lot of purposeful design to let players use the D pad they were used to or the new fangled analog stick

we just didn't realize it at the time because games also were using the Z button

[worldly quartz]

how does bangai-o work on current? All black? or has sprites?

[random portal]

i can test in a bit

[kind nimbus]

I dont have that one

[random portal]

i have a whole set. I just wont test European games cause my CRT is NTSC.

[kind nimbus]

Did it go by another name?

[random portal]

and yes, everything is in black and white

[vapid hawk]

your crt can't sync 50hz?

[worldly quartz]

Bakuretsu Muteki Bangaiō

[random portal]

it's a KV-9PT50. are they supposed to have PAL support with MiSTer?

[vapid hawk]

idk for american tv's tbh

[kind nimbus]

Sorry mate

aw oh well. thanks

[vapid hawk]

its really rare for a screen in europe to not do 50 and 60hz

"what are you waiting for? Christmas?"

[mild ether]

Oh, forgot to check doom.

[languid dune]

Go play some Saturn core Robby. You're drunk.

[frail jolt]

So the who else is exited to get an n64 core...finished...and then have no time to play it!????

[languid dune]

Mostly the same. Just some HUD elements show now.

[zinc dew]

Dreamcast trolling will continue until we get the Dreamcast core, then I’ll have to admit that love it very much.

[mild ether]

That's an improvement.

[dreamy ridge]

even knowing dreamcast on mister is outside the bounds of physical reality i wouldn't even be surprised at this point if fpgazumspass figured out some way to do it

[mild ether]

Dreamcast would be amazing for all the Naomi arcade.

[languid dune]

I've seen enough MiSTer miracles to never say never.

[zinc dew]

man I can’t wait to play all the good Dreamcast games like

oh oops

lmao

[mild ether]

Crazy Taxi.

[zinc dew]

I can’t even keep a straight face

[zinc dew]

SO GOOD

[languid dune]

Bangai-O

[dreamy ridge]

crazy taxi's colors are bananas. and the speed!

[languid dune]

I'll never forget the first time I got the crazy license in Crazy Taxi.

Hard as hell.

[zinc dew]

ill never forget the time I had fun playing Dreamcast

Because it hasn’t happened yet

[dreamy ridge]

a classssss S license!

[zinc dew]

why am I not banned

[languid dune]

https://tenor.com/view/pissed-off-rage-angry-gif-16632216

I earned that one again!

That's only two GIFs I've posted in here since the ban went into place. Both caused by Robby!

I got that crazy license on my friend's save file too. He wasn't happy because he never beat it. 😆

[manic basin]

So the core doesn't currently produce savestates, right? Those are being pulled from the software emulator Robert created?

[languid dune]

I believe so.

[manic basin]

Is the software emulator available or is that secret sauce?

[languid dune]

Super secret sauce.

[dreamy ridge]

i tried a save state with the latest build (mario kart 64) and it crashed the game

[manic basin]

Ugh, can't post the reply. I have no idea what word I'm typing that's blocked by the server. @zinc dew can I screen cap and send to you so you can tell me which word I'm triggering?

[elfin relic]

is it the quest of sixty four

[manic basin]

Oh I see it. Ugh, this stupid joke crap...
I figured. The savestate files are 16MB and I've not seen any other N64 savestate that large on any other emulator. My (Game Name Deleted) rom doesn't match so it doesn't load for me and I wanted to see if I could manually create one with my rom. Assuming the pattern is Game Name.z64 = Game_Name_1.ss.

[dreamy ridge]

lmao

[zinc dew]

LOL

yeah it was Quest 64

[manic basin]

Hmmm. The rom hashes correctly. I'll just rename the rom file.

[manic basin]

That's by design. To protect us.

[zinc dew]

Sorry about that being frustrating @manic basin

[random portal]

only the real old schools know what game this is (referring to the 64 flavored cabinet)

[zinc dew]

ohhhh beer tapper

[random portal]

a real old school

damn that was fast

[zinc dew]

The play field is very unique

[chilly ember]

Robby beat me to it

Also Root Beer Tapper

[languid dune]

Who wants to drink roots? I mean really.

[manic basin]

I dropped a video of all the games tested earlier in the thread.

The sound is....special.

[random portal]

haha

[manic basin]

Joust is slow and fun. Robotron is pretty OK.

[random portal]

the brrrrrrrrrrr

[manic basin]

Yeah... BUT it's kind of accurate to old arcades with busted out speakers, so I just assume Midway did that by design.

[zinc dew]

Louder arcade machines means you get people’s attention

[manic basin]

Huh. Yeah, no luck getting that ss file to load regardless of the name, but - at least the first 4096 bytes - the MD5 is the same so I'm pretty sure it's the same ROM. Maybe it's because I'm on CIFS....

My saves are on SD though.

[random portal]

I just realized that I'll finally be able to update this video once the N64 core goes public.
https://youtu.be/Xw3vFw5PT0w?si=DHJwiELIE-THOvwB

[manic basin]

Nope, not that. The ControllerTest save works fine. Buh.

[fallen sparrow]

I never played the original, but it felt good, if not a little sensitive to turn. You'll like it.

[random portal]

you can adjust the driving sensitivity in the options; which is not an easy menu to pull up in the first place.

[fallen sparrow]

Thanks. I didn't expect this QoL feature in a N64 game. That's impressive

[manic basin]

Yeah, most controllers have logarithmic feeling response right now instead of the smooth linear of the OG N64 controller. I'm going to try choking mine down with the 8bitDo software to see if it helps.

[fallen sparrow]

Thanks Andy

Okay Airport run, in an episode of Crusin London in a Crazy Taxi

[manic basin]

I love that red ring someone got off of the NSO one earlier in the thread. My result looks like a stick figure exploded.

[manic basin]

Good luck!

[fallen sparrow]

Thanks!

[ripe prism]

Trying n64 on my switch and it’s just making more impatient for the core

At least the emulation got better

[chilly ember]

I have N64 next to the mister with an everdrive but i'd rather play the with the core

[ripe prism]

I was planning on that some day when I get space but now I’m never gonna do it

But I do love my physical 64, tough to think of selling it

[chilly ember]

I don't blame you, I probably won't touch my N64 much after the core is stable enough and I can run RGB/component on a CRT with mister

[ripe prism]

Wish I had a clean setup to run a crt consistently

Just got the 8 inch pvm I gotta drag out and put away

So much shit I gotta sell : (

Can’t even imagine selling the nes cause playing with my dad so much before

[chilly ember]

My setup ain't exactly clean, no PVM but two 27 inch JVC D series I can compare with

I like the late 90s jvc d series tube better than the 2003 ish one

[ripe prism]

Anything works good, they’re just TVs

I always played on a combo tv from a brand I don’t think exists anymore

[chilly ember]

It's all about how well you can dial in that geometry 😛

[eternal brook]

Confirmed Cruis'n USA is 100%able with latest core. Just played from start to credits with no issues other than some slowdown and some minor graphical glitches. Never expected a game to be so playable so soon!

[ripe prism]

Imagine having to adjust your tv

[chilly ember]

That's pretty good, my older JVC D series horizontal size adjustment doesn't do anything so that's the main thing that bothers me.

don't know what's up with that

[ripe prism]

The trick is never turning on that test program

[chilly ember]

True 😛

[ripe prism]

It’s like going audiophile, never perfect enough

[chilly ember]

The trick is to collect CRT's until you find one that's almost perfect xD

[brisk drum]

Taco approved

[ripe prism]

If it’s free yeah but can’t imagine spending substantial money

[chilly ember]

Of course, i got both my JVC D series for free

[ripe prism]

Like if I saw a bvm for $200 I’d buy it cause the worth but not the quality

Can’t imagine spending $50+ on a crt

But n64 fun as shit on any tv

[brisk drum]

Never underestimate a late model toshiba crt

[chilly ember]

Toshiba has pretty good tubes, everyone after those trinitons tho

[ripe prism]

I loved my old gigantic one, would kill to have one again

[chilly ember]

My favourite crt is probably my Panasonic Gaoo but it's s video and below only

[ripe prism]

I really wouldn’t mind having my main tv be a big tube one, play anything I want and watch tv fun

Austin powers was rad on mine

[chilly ember]

I have a 32 inch triniton i never use, Geometry sucks and i don't wanna take it apart and figure out what's going on with it

Service menu is not enough

[brisk drum]

I have one trinitron but it mostly sits

[random portal]

heck yeah, I lost count of how many 5th gen games I've played that have stuff like this hidden in the boring options.

[ripe prism]

I miss this so bad

Kept my n64 in the tv drawer cause it’s the most played

[brisk drum]

My current setup

[chilly ember]

Same, 32 inch trinitons are built like tanks and i'd rather not try to move it myself

[brisk drum]

Trinitron in the corner of the shot

[random portal]

what an insane guy. you can play horizontal and TATE games at the same time

[ripe prism]

I’d think wrestling would prepare me for a trinitron but think I’ll still kill myself

[brisk drum]

I wouldn’t play any other way bro

[ripe prism]

Also broke my wrist so scared to do weird lifts now

[chilly ember]

I was doing that with my two JVC d series, but i rarely do tate so i have them in different rooms now

[brisk drum]

Gamesack joe would be proud of me

[ripe prism]

That channels great to find new games on the mister

[random portal]

ok, so, let's pretend this wasn't a joke.

Greco Roman would prepare you to lift boulders, my guy 😆

[chilly ember]

Trinitons are unreasonably heavy

[ripe prism]

Greco’s my style

[brisk drum]

Those AF series Toshibas are perfect for tate

[ripe prism]

And my greco lifts aren’t prepping me for the weird crt grips

[brisk drum]

Horizontal scrolling is amazing ..

Vertical scrolling sucks on the flat screens

[chilly ember]

I only seen one toshiba locally and it had issues with not turning on without a remote so i passed on it

[ripe prism]

There’s a few tubes on Craigslist consistently at 32 inches. Some day I’ll make the trek by myself

[brisk drum]

Bogus

[random portal]

haha I did Grecco, Shoot, and Judo in my early 20's but never mastered any style. Just did it for fun.

[chilly ember]

didn't wanna end up with a heavy ass paper weight eventually

[random portal]

and CRTs are too awkward to hold

[ripe prism]

Weird combo, European?

[brisk drum]

You ever see one of these snatch it up asap

[chilly ember]

That the AF?

[brisk drum]

Nope it’s a kv

Before the af models came about

[random portal]

no, I was training at a west coast combat sport gym that Jamie Yeager and some other hot shots were teaching at.

[chilly ember]

I'll keep my eye out. Dont see so many crt's these days. Too many people just get rid of them

Or want a million dollars for it

[ripe prism]

I wish I could stick to greco but it’s impossible to stay consistent with training

[brisk drum]

Best all around consumer set out there imo

[ripe prism]

Trying to get good enough for the rtc and Olympic training center

[random portal]

despite the lift training, I can nevet carry a CRT without doing some weird holding.

[ripe prism]

Then also gonna start doing sambo

[ripe prism]

Their center of gravity is really what kill it

[chilly ember]

The worst is going through doorways sideways carrying a crt solo and its too thick

So gotta go sideways

[random portal]

Whenever I feel it slipping I always say "it has to be the glass"

[ripe prism]

Think of all the houses built that had TVs put in before the walls

[random portal]

https://tenor.com/view/wheeze-laugh-gif-14359545

[ripe prism]

ITS GOT A HAT

[chilly ember]

Wonder if the hat is included

250 tho. Nah

[ripe prism]

The balls to put bad prices on the wasteland of Craigslist

[chilly ember]

I saw a rca for 250 the other day

I don't know if i would pick up a rca for free

[random portal]

for a while, my local craigslist had a guy RENTING CRTs

[ripe prism]

If it’s west coast may be a prop store

[random portal]

ah ok

[ripe prism]

We got those here and they’re so fucking annoying

[chilly ember]

That would be my guess

[ripe prism]

So much cool stuff but reserved for tv shows

[random portal]

that makes sense cause one old store I know where I like to buy vintage hardware says they only sell or rent to production guys.

[ripe prism]

Exactly

[trim seal]

MK Trilogy is already running surprisingly well, without the black boxes around the sprites like Mythologies currently has.

[random portal]

playing the N64 version on the current core, I learned that the main menu feeling laggy is inherent.

on real PS1 hardware and MiSTer core, the menu for Trilogy feels like it lags.

[trim seal]

It does eventually lock up during demo gameplay, but it's locked at 60fps until then.

[random portal]

like when you leave it running and goes into attract mode on it's own?

[trim seal]

Yup

[covert bough]

I finally got an unstable mister build going, where are the latest n64 rbf files being posted? Here? Not seeing them in unstable nightlies

[trim seal]

They are in test-builds

Gosh, Yoshi's Island is playable....without level geometry, but the characters look great. 🙂

[chilly ember]

Yoshi's story *

[brisk drum]

I’m looking forward to sinking my teeth into some daikatana

[trim seal]

Oh yes, of course. Brain fart as usual.

[chilly ember]

Close enough

Daikitana ad from back in the day in case anyone is wondering

[mossy needle]

Is there an n64 mister faq, I don't want to bother people with the same questions everyone has been asking

[random portal]

Romero apologizes for it

[random portal]

same questions, different time zones

what's the difference?

[mossy needle]

Fair enough
