Nintendo 64

[chilly ember]

Doesn't boot yea

[wanton sun]

hard to say. I probably played Smash Bros and TWINE the most, but i think Mario64 and OoT are the best i played and aged great. But if i had to pick a game and must decide, it would be either Mario64 or Pokemon Stadium+Red. But there are so many other games on this console that i enjoyed as teenager. I will play them all again 🙂

[zenith orchid]

The Mario Party games are great

[quasi storm]

Tetrisphere is my all time favorite.

[zealous hull]

I was half raised on Mario Party 2.

[zenith orchid]

Right? Some of those mini games are so addictive

[zealous hull]

I know. I'd like to think I'm pretty open minded about "new" games not necessarily being worse than "old" games. But I think Mario Party is one of the examples where the older N64 ones just seem to have more character and creativity.

[chilly ember]

Mario 64 will always one of my favourites, mario party is better to play for the mini games. The board game can be rage inducing lol

Mario party lost it's stride after 4

[vapid hawk]

😮 oh my. you are in for a treat. goldeneye is 100x better than TWINE 😄

[lament escarp]

The nso release of stadium showed me how empty that game is without a gameboy game as a companion.

[lilac scroll]

I never had an n64, my cousin did and I played MK64, OoT, Smash, SF Rush (the stunt mode was so addicting)… but it’s sort of a blind spot for me in retro gaming. Software emulation has never been as easy or intuitive as other platforms. There were a lot of games I was curious to play: starfox, pilotwings, etc, so I’m super duper excited that the mister can facilitate that.

My bro and I were so into pc gaming at that point, we turned our noses up to the decision to stick with cartridges 😬

[chilly ember]

I was raised on N64 so I have alot of fond memories for it

[vapid hawk]

i remember i took ALL my old playstation games for trade in for an n64 at the local game trading/secondhand store

[wanton sun]

without gameboy coupling the game is pointless. I don't want rented pokemons, i want to think about the best team, which attacks combine together and even minor things like "in this cup i can have lvl15 pokemon, but there can be 1 with lvl20, so is there any that evolves at 20 and can already be used". These things are what made the game great. I probably spend more time preparing the team in the gb tower than playing the main game

[ocean lily]

I just used to make all the other kids cry when I steamrolled their charizard with my lvl 64 blastoise then continued to one-shot the rest of their party

in the unlikely event they got past my blastoise, they got to face my mewtwo

[vapid hawk]

i remember my brother and his friends used to all get together and fight all their different pokemon teams

[hearty oar]

still have my transfer pak 😄

[vapid hawk]

we always had to schedule like "ok saturday you can do pokemon but sunday my friends are coming over for goldeneye" 🙂

[ocean lily]

I didn't need more than those two - think only one kid ever beat those two lol

[quasi storm]

Fun observation: In 4 player Goldeneye each player got ~160 x 120 of screen space to play with...

[chilly ember]

All we needed to have a great time

[ocean lily]

It's like when I played pokemon x and apparently missed an entire route and went back and just destroyed all the kindergarteners with ultramax or whatever they were pokemon

[ocean lily]

and we were happy with it

until some asshole dropped proximity mines at all the spawn points

then it was a fistfight

[chilly ember]

Hehehe

[thorny marten]

got my tribute 64 today...its definitely not the origal n64 controller but it works well if you want a more modern solution for a controller

[chilly ember]

Slappers

[orchid nimbus]

if a new version drops while I'm sleeping - I'll be back in about 10 hours - so update_N64 won't have a new update till then

[quaint rune]

Golden eye is such a great game. I remember the first time I played it. Classic intro, awesome music, and one of the best gun reloading sounds ever in a video game. I don’t care if it’s accurate, it sounds good 😝

Oh yeah, awesome UI too. Probably one of the best health/armor bars I’ve ever seen. Maybe the most iconic one.

[rose elbow]

worst part about goldeneye is pausing the game takes like 10 seconds coz james bond has to slowly look down and hold his hand up to look at his Watch and you can still get shot during this slow animation but otherwise the game is perfect LOL

also the escort missions where Natalya Simonova will just run into incoming rapid machine gun turret fire

[atomic stratus]

That’s most of my memories with that game too. Multiplayer with bots and rocket launchers! 🚀

[vapid hawk]

less really with overscan :/

and it was the most fun ever

todays gamers have a meltdown if they ever get less than 4k60

oh no, i'm having a crazy idea

[rose elbow]

we had a party at our house once back in the Olden Times, and we (the kiddos) were in my bedroom playing Fifa 98 on 64, one of the adults pokes head in and asked "oh who's winning?" totally not realizing it wasn't actually Sports on the TV

i swear to God that happened lol 🖐️

[atomic stratus]

I think it’s the St. Petersburg mission I’ve been stuck at forever because I can never get Natalya out of there alive

[vapid hawk]

what if you could somehow get splitscreen games sent to two screens on the core, kinda like how GBA2P works

[ocean lily]

I remember playing some MLB game on the N64 and legit thinking "graphics will never need to be better than this"

[rose elbow]

ya ^ ahahahaha

[vapid hawk]

i remember distinctly thinking that about resident evil code veronica

[solemn maple]

Really fun to see oot running at a steady 20 fps and working sound 😍

[rose elbow]

Great!

[chilly ember]

I agree even if its only for 20 second long cutscene before it crashes

[vapid hawk]

wait is RE2 working now?

[chilly ember]

Nooooo

[vapid hawk]

ok good because i have to work today

[chilly ember]

It crashes still but almost finished saying resident evil

[vapid hawk]

the second that game works i'm going to speedrun it so fast its head'll spin 😄

[chilly ember]

Resident E is best we get for now

[rose elbow]

so close...

[vapid hawk]

i think i finished it at least 50 times during psx core dev

[solemn maple]

1080 Snowboarding
Dezaemon 3D (JPN, 768Kbit)
F-Zero X
Harvest Moon 64
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The
Major League Baseball featuring Ken Griffey Jr.
Mario Golf
New Tetris, The
Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber
Pocket Monsters Stadium (JPN)
Resident Evil 2
Super Smash Bros.
WCW/NWO Revenge
WWF: Wrestlemania 2000

These are sram games, hopefully some of them get playable with just sram added to the core.

[chilly ember]

I only finished re2 once and it was on n64 xD

[vapid hawk]

i've somehow never actually finished it on n64

it seems a fine version

[chilly ember]

It has analog controls

Its interesting, like an actual non tank contol setup

[vapid hawk]

it doesn't have to, you can just use the dpad if you want it to be normal

[solemn maple]

I finished RE2 with Leon on dreamcast last year.

Game really holds up still.

[vapid hawk]

i like how it encourages you to replay it with the claire/leon A/B stuff, really clever

[chilly ember]

I finished the remakes but only finished leon side on n64, never got to claire. I love old school resident evil but i suck at it

[vapid hawk]

like if you only ran through it once with leon you kind of only saw 1/4 of the game

[chilly ember]

Code veronica you can at least you the knife on the legs

Yea i know :p

[vapid hawk]

just shoot everything, they give you way too much ammo

[chilly ember]

Yea that's probably my issue, that is true

[vapid hawk]

its not like later re games that have dynamic difficulty and will punish you for hoarding bullets or anything

you can easily have over 250 pistol rounds before you even get to the station iirc

now code veronica on the other hand, yeah thank god the knife is more of a machete in that game

because its really easy to run out of ammo

[chilly ember]

That's more of what i played so that's what messes me up

When trying to play old resident evil games

Older*

[vapid hawk]

just for an idea of how much too much ammo re2 gives you, on the speedrun you can exclusively use the shotgun and the magnum, only picking up ammo you were running by anyway and have PLENTY

[chilly ember]

Yea i know i had a bunch of ammo after finishing leon story and felt silly

N64 version has some exclusive content too. More diary entry story stuff

[cedar otter]

Great Patreon update @wanton sun 👍

[solemn maple]

Patreon post to my morning coffee.

God is good 🙏

[quaint rune]

That’s one of my favorite REs yknow

[chilly ember]

Used the level select code in spider-man to get to venom fight, still crashes pretty quick

[vapid hawk]

nice patreon update

[rich delta]

Slightly off topic but you can get pretty good CRT simulation with a HDR TV - not as clear in motion (AMOLED at 120hz gets close to that). You do need a shader like my Sony Megatron - see my close up comparison shots between real CRTs and LCDs/OLEDs (https://forums.libretro.com/t/sony-megatron-colour-video-monitor/36109). Brightness is king and CRTs are far brighter than LCDs/OLEDs at the scanning point - youre probably looking at 10K nits its just its a single point and the phosphor 'decay' is relatively rapid.

As Ive said above CRTs naturally filter (remove pixelation) up to a point so the ultra blurry look of the N64 is a combination of texture filtering, dithering, poly edge AA, a horizontal screen AA, RF or composite signal noise (a kind of blur) and the final CRT display 'blur' due to the scanning beams and phosphor triads. Which ones of those you want and dont want is obviously subjective and N64 'accurate'. Personally the ordering of importance is probably in the above order - Id keep texture filtering mostly but I might be tempted to ditch some of the others if playing on a CRT. OLEDs LCDs are a different game entirely though.

[vapid hawk]

scanlines also act to add back some perceived sharpness

[rich delta]

Yes that's what Im talking about with the scanning beam - its a continuous adaptation to the input signal (image) not disctete (like an LCD)

[vapid hawk]

yeah they also sort of double the vertical resolution

not really obviously, but brains are easily fooled

[rich delta]

Yeah scan lines are effectively a blur in the vertical direction as their shape is defined as a Gaussian distribution of luminance (although can be approximated with beziers for speed). Once the scanlines touch each other/overlap as they did on smaller screens/lower TVLs it kind of results in a linear blur.

[quasi storm]

I really like to use HDR with a crt aperture grille shadow mask on my OLED. Looks great with medium interpolation!

[rich delta]

Good to hear - I think I was the first person to use HDR to implement CRT shaders having implemented HDR support into RetroArch for that reason.

[quasi storm]

Yeah, a shadow mask is a must. The picture can tend to be oversaturated otherwise with HDR. The lines tame the colors a bit.

[vapid hawk]

mister HDR is... strange and approximate remember, retroarch just has full hdr

[quasi storm]

It's good enough for my TV to say, "Hey, this is HDR" so it's good enough for me 😆. I'm a simple man.

[vapid hawk]

rt4k will let us do full 10bit HDR properly tonemapped out of the mister

[fallen sparrow]

That's impressive

[quasi storm]

Unless he used analogue movement. That shit was so broken 🤣

[rich delta]

Yeah its the one area software emulation has over the mister - on LCDs/OLEDs it sucks a bit in the CRT simulation area. Dont get me wrong what mister has with its hardware is great but its not RetroArch level yet (I know thats blasphemy on a mister forum - I love and regularly play both)

[hollow pebble]

Me with RT4K: 😍
My wallet with RT4K: 😭

[fallen sparrow]

@chilly ember is legit, he finished MK64 in darkness like a Jedi

[fallen sparrow]

I like RetroArch a lot

Enjoy things everywhere

[quasi storm]

I can't imagine navigating Yoshi Valley in the dark...

[fallen sparrow]

Once something comes to FPGA though, I don't usually play those games on it

[cloud peak]

[fallen sparrow]

Currently RetroArch I play
Arcade
Shadow Dancer, I can't wait for when it comes to MiSTer

[fallen sparrow]

Morning

Also Snow Bros

[cloud peak]

Morning, shitty weather where I’m at :/

Heard that uk is having a heatwave coming?

[fallen sparrow]

Oh no, it's actually mild in London. I even went to the Sunday market after my night shift and picked up 24 kinder eggs for £4. I bought fruit too

[fallen sparrow]

I don't know, the weather is a mixed bag here

[cloud peak]

Good price

[cloud peak]

Yeah I have a contact bragging about humidity

[fallen sparrow]

I usually buy the kinder eggs £1 each, so definitely

[fallen sparrow]

At this moment it's okay

Let's see if I wake up to a new core lol

[pallid falcon]

Having what they call lovely "Indian summer" here in the UK (a period of unseasonably warm weather) at the moment.

[rich delta]

Im probably going to set everybody off but on a large HDR 4K QD-OLED/LCD or small AMOLED screen I think RetroArch with a decent HDR CRT shader like the Sony Megatron and a cycle accurate core gives a superior experience. HOWEVER mister paired with a CRT is the gold standard.

[wanton sun]

nothing new today despite the patreon post, birthday party(not me) taking up most of the day....and i still need to complete the extra cups in mk64 😅

[cedar otter]

Enjoy!

[latent galleon]

However, there is a downside: it's a managed cache.

did you mean a downside for you, us, or the original programmers

[wanton sun]

for everyone...for me when debugging, for the developers when they made it and for the users because it's slower

[fallen sparrow]

Have a good day 🎂

[wanton sun]

not nintendos fault, the CPU is a standard component and it's not unusual for a CPU to do it that way

PSX cpu does the same for the instruction cache

if you design a single chip solution(like what the psx core really is), you can do it the other way, but with a external CPU it's not really possible in a good way

[latent galleon]

that makes sense, for some reason i thought this was custom sgi/nec work but it looks like it was an existing sgi design

[mild finch]

@rich delta Cool to see you're here! I tagged you for a few questions over on the RA discord under your forum name, but you didn't respond. I guess I should have used this account 🙂

[limber willow]

Too scared of burn in on my oled monitor for shaders

[mild finch]

@rich delta Would it be ok if I tag you again with a few questions with this name?

[rich delta]

Ah Im really sorry - Im currently building a real time GPU debugger and modding tool for DX11/DX12 games and Ive just lost touch with my RetroArch work - although thats just because I havent used Discord in ages - this N64 core has lured me back on. Ill go and have a look at your messages - I did wonder what the red dot with a number in was referring too - just thought it was system messages.

[mild finch]

No worries

I'm working on a scanline / CRT shader for SDR displays with the goal of optimizing brightness as a kind of counterpoint to your work 😄

I'm mostly interested in your setup for profiling shaders using Nsight.

[vagrant ivy]

Much as this is interesting its not N64 please take it to #spicy-off-topic

[rich delta]

Yeah absolutely Ill continue over on RetroArch Discord though - before I get banned from talking dirty software emulation and shaders here.

[vagrant ivy]

nothing like that Basil

we do have a #software-emulation channel

if you feel thats a better place

Even the FPGA hardcore know SW emulation is pretty damm amazing

[rich delta]

Ah interesting I didn't know about that thanks - is this otherwise known as the gulag

[vagrant ivy]

its where we say Dolphin is an amazing emu !

and DuckStation

[vapid hawk]

ares is nice too

we like a lot of emulators around here tbh since they provide good reference points

[weary palm]

Speaking of Ares, how dare they keep copies of certain 1984 byte files on their git repository?

[mild finch]

I know there are legal issues for acknowledging it, but I wonder if any parts of the megaleak some years ago made their way into software / FPGA emulation. Especially for systems like N64.

[vagrant ivy]

no one will ever admit that

Big N would sue them to oblivion

[mild finch]

Right.

[trim seal]

No actual parts of it, but plenty of research.

[mild ether]

I am betting some of those decomps did maybe but I could be wrong cause I have no idea when they were finished.

[mild finch]

Are there example where you can assume that happened? Of course, the authors can always claim "I figured this out with painstaking research"

[mild ether]

Not outright theft but at least fill in the blanks kinda research.

[mild finch]

Kind of the ideal case IMO.

[weary palm]

Most of them tries to be cleanroom, but as the compiled ROM is identical to the original one, they can't be that far away from the original C code. Just different method and variable names.

[mild ether]

I can't even imagine how much of a huge job it would be to figure out what every function was and naming them from a compiled rom.

[weary palm]

Many people involved.

[trim seal]

I've seen it referenced in a few vids that I can't recall right now - IIRC the super-efficient SM64 code that gets rid of all the things slowing it down was based on research from the Gigaleak.

[weary palm]

Hm..

There are lots of different efforts being made on that area.

[mild finch]

You mean Kaze64's video? I'm pretty sure they understand the N64 better than Nintendo did at the time. I don't think they profited (much) from the Gigaleak. Lots of new implementations, not just "removing slowdowns".

I'd give them 100% credit for their amazing optimization work.

[wanton sun]

it's a pain that the leak even exists. Some people download that and then compare e.g. variable names against emulators and if you by chance use the same, they will accuse you

[mild finch]

Such accusations don't hold much water, though. It's easy to deflect them.

[weary palm]

So you called the iterator variable 'i'....

[mild finch]

Exactly, lol

[mild ether]

Some of those people must have at least to a look at the leaked source at some point and at least been like "ohh so that is what they called that of course!".

[wanton sun]

psx had no such leak and still the emulation is in better shape overall, that says a lot of how used the leaks are. If they were, n64 emulation would be beyond and above

[mild finch]

Isn't the n64 way harder to emulate, though? It blows my mind that they kind of had a programmable pipeline back in the day.

Saying "kind of" because it apparently was so complex that few developers made use of it

[wanton sun]

that's questionable. I think the RSP with microcode isn't that bad. It's just a "PSX CPU with vector unit" and we have tests with very good coverage these days

recently we even had Ares going lock-step timing accurate against real hardware RSP

(again, not a leak, but thanks to a exhaustive test being written)

[mild finch]

Sounds great

[weary palm]

How do we know the names of those microcodes, like Fast3D and the like? Or are they just made up?

[wanton sun]

to be honest: i don't know them and i don't care. RSP executes program code. It doesn't matter which. That was only at the time emulators did high level emulate it

[mild finch]

Instead of just "hard to emulate", would you say it's more different from common platforms than PSX, for example? Being made in a time where the right way to build 3d-capable systems was quite uncertain

[wanton sun]

it might be helpful however that only a handful of such microcode exists, so if you fix a bug in the rsp that triggers in one of them, plenty of games will work 🙂

[mild finch]

The popular opinion seems to be that it was very advanced with e.g. AA, but was hampered by certain choices like the memory architecture. I can't judge that, though.

[mild ether]

They did make an emulator while the system was still being sold so it couldn't have been too hard.

[mild finch]

I wonder if Kaze64 will ever get into optimizing the microcode for SM64 itself as the ultimate goal... Would be amazing to see

[mild finch]

Do you mean Nintendo making a n64 emu for GameCube?

[lean spruce]

I think he means UltraHLE

[mild ether]

No UltraHLE

[wanton sun]

a lot of this "hard to emulate" comes from a time where accurate emulation of the RSP and RDP was impossible without shortcuts, because PCs were not fast enough. From todays standpoint, mainly the RDP is still a problem, because you cannot test out it's inner core so easily like you can with e.g. cpu, fpu and rsp

[mild ether]

Not saying the guy didn't work to get it done just that it was entirely possible to do.

[mild finch]

Looking up a few things, can we say that the RSP would be kind of doing what happens in a vertex shader nowadays, and the RDP would be the fragment shader equivalent?

And you're saying it's not easy to probe/test the "fragment shader" part

[wanton sun]

rsp is more than just gpu part. It calculates 3D to 2D coordniates, sound, FMVs or whatever you like. RDP can "only" texture polygons

especially: the RDP is not programmable. It has a (large) set of fixed function you can enable and disable, but that's it

[vapid moat]

I remember owning the game without any RBY-games until really long time later and yeah I gotta agree big-time with this one (at least the minigames and occassional attempts to get through Gym Leader Castle kept me engaged)

[mild finch]

Ah, I wrongly thought it was the other way around.

How well is the micro code understood nowadays?

[vapid moat]

GCN-titles were alright but yeah, I feel like they started to complicate the game quite a bit with some new mechanics here and there

[wanton sun]

probably the amount of understanding it decreases nowadays as with low level rsp emulation there is no need to understand it

[mild finch]

That sounds paradoxical

[vapid moat]

My memories with N64 is kind of interesting - Mom bought me and my siblings one with just one game (SM64), prior to that we got to play that and Pokemon Stadium at our rich "cousins" house.

Eventually we had this weird thing happen where whoever happened to own some bit of N64-games, like our friends - we somehow ended "receiving" a few for them premanently

These include MK64, F-Zero X, Ocarina of Time, aforementioned Pokemon Stadium, 1080 Snowboarding, 007: World is Never Enough and Yoshi's Story

IDK if it was because we loaned a few games and they didn't even bother getting them back or... we just took them and never brought them back

(Also our Mom somehow ended getting Turok 2 for me + siblings, having no idea it was a violent game for us 10-12 year olds - we got used to it quick though XD;)

[wanton sun]

so you at least played mostly good games 🙂

[vapid moat]

You're right, now that I look back at the list...

Some loans we got to play but not "keep" were Banjo-Kazooie and Smash Bros 64 - also during one of the visits to a friend they had DK64 which I ended quite enamored with

[daring meteor]

If there was one System that had Mostly good games, it was N64

[vapid moat]

Now I'm reminded of those memes trying to shoot the system down XD;

[mild finch]

People that internalized the marketing of the "console wars" back in the day and brought it to their adult lives are funny

Who cares what system you like, they all had good and and bad games

[vapid moat]

4Chan's a whole country for folks like that (why I kinda find /vr so amusing )

[daring meteor]

Some Systems didn't have Bad games

Like the Amstrad CPC

[limber willow]

+1 for those good games ^

I remember brute-forcing my way through "Mission Impossible" on N64 and really suffering.
There were invisible traps you couldn't know about until you've encountered them before, and you had to restart the bloody level each time.

I ended up with a notepad and pen, making sure I noted down everything along the way

[mild finch]

Gamers had to be a lot more resilient back then

[limber willow]

very true

[quasi storm]

When it's all you had, you made it last.

[mild ether]

He's not wrong.

[quasi storm]

I had the same-ish experience with Sarge's Heroes.

[mild ether]

N64 did have some really great titles though just not a lot of them.

[quasi storm]

Now there's a game that starts off kinda strong, but quickly falls flat on its face.

[quasi storm]

N64 didn't have a lot of titles period. FFS, every new release had a dang commercial for it. It was a freaking event.

[mild ether]

No it really didn't but personally I never really noticed back then because I never had a N64. I just played with friends.

Lots more people had it than the Sega Saturn I did actually own.

[worldly quartz]

N64 for me was just mario 64, bomberman 64 via ultrahle. Got it last year with an everdrive and was disappointed since it looked horrible even on crt

[median vale]

Sounds like the game lived up to it's name

[mild ether]

I think I bought my N64 and Everdrive about 4 or 5 years ago and yeah it's definitely not my favorite thing in the world so glad there will be a core for it instead.

Not as fun when I am sober and old not playing GoldenEye with my friends.

[quasi storm]

I still remember when my dad got me Goldeneye for my birthday... Mostly because my brother came along, and that's what HE wanted...

Didn't know about it before that.

Boy do I not regret it!

[vapid moat]

I think my most fave game on the system Banjo-Kazooie and Mario Party 3, was Paper Mario which I ended playing through Project 64 - if only half-way, I stopped around the Yoshi's Island-chapter

The game though blew my mind with how it took Mario's world and NPCs -> turned them into unique individuals and had locals for them (also some joining Mario himself !!!)

It's hard for me to adjust on the current Paper Mario for this reason, it feels like the series that meant so much to me has basically been turned into gimmicky post-modern "action game" series

[quasi storm]

Are The Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi games similar, writing wise?

They both seemed like they fleshed out characters in similar ways, from what Ive read. I've not played them, just curious

I might give Paper Mario a shot on the core when it matures.

[vapid moat]

Not too much - Paper Mario 64 (and the two games after it) is more traditional and sincere in tone - Mario & Luigi-games meanwhile leaned much more on whimsical and comedic type of writing, though it also fleshes out world of Mario and uses it's NPCs in interesting ways (though less commonly than Paper Mario)

The modern Paper Marios starting from Sticker Star forced itself to now share same tone of writing as Mario & Luigi, though perhaps even more egregious and post-modern, also ton of paper puns or jokes. Mario & Luigi at least kept it's tone pretty fun and same though I feel Nintendo's "mandates" slowly hampered creative ideas or characters around Paper Jam until BiTS 3DS

Off-topic tho, so I'll just hold my Classic Paper Mario Fan-tongue

[quasi storm]

Like I said, I may give it a shot. I've tried to get into other RPGs like super Mario RPG, but it just can't hook me.

[worldly quartz]

I only played with paper mario and wii u. Hated both of them

N64 version was always a next time for me that never happens

[vapid moat]

Paper Mario's gameplay is kind of interesting - HP's are all on super-low numbers as opposed to reaching easily hundreds in regular RPGs, the battling itself shares some DNA from SMRPG with the Action Commands which'd Mario & Luigi would also expand on - but the Badge System really expands on your options on how to approach the battles, or even how you'd play the game overall

[weary palm]

I love the Paper Mario series. The first one is worth playing.

I mean, it's not challenging what so ever, but I don't like hard games, so.... 😂

Mario & Luigis superstar saga is amazing on GBA as well

Okay, maybe add the Pokemon Mini in front of the Xbox.

[hollow pebble]

Is Tamagotchi part of Gen 5?

🤔

Because if it is…

[pallid falcon]

That transcends all generations

[drowsy lantern]

N64 had less games than PSX, obviously, but the sheer quality of its top games is something the PSX couldn’t hope to match. Like, there’s nothing on PSX that comes close to Mario 64, the two Zeldas, Goldeneye, Star Fox 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Smash Bros, Diddy Kong Racing, (though CTR comes close), etc.

[hollow pebble]

Now that’s a hot take.

🔥

[pallid falcon]

Hopefully this core will help some people see that the N64 has a decent library. A take I see on social media is 'N64 has two good games, blurry screen lol it sux'

"be honest, the N64 is trash isn't it"

[mortal panther]

Blurry screen builds character... just like the consoles I grew up with on RF connections.

[hollow pebble]

All jokes aside, I unironically love the N64. It was the first console I bought with my own money.

[cerulean elk]

Coffee>games

[hollow pebble]

I’m not a fan of coffee. 😬

Someone call an ambulance. Robby clearly had a stroke overnight

[primal bolt]

Coffee is good to keep the yang up

[pallid falcon]

A console with Zool - Majuu Tsukai Densetsu cannot be bad. it has to be awesome to play that game.

[zinc dew]

I love Zool!

[hollow pebble]

Okay something we can all agree on. @zinc dew has bad takes. React with if you agree.

[cerulean elk]

That’s pre-game coffee. Wife and I are going to breakfast. So more coffee. Then another cold brew when we get back. Then I’ll be ready to deal with @zinc dew

[pallid falcon]

Digimon Rumble Arena>>>>>>>>>>>Smash Bros

[hollow pebble]

What’s for breakfast?

[zinc dew]

please stop sharing my photos

[fair stump]

If that's the case, be sure to add some whiskey to your cup

[cerulean elk]

Haha I’m sure I could

[cerulean elk]

Corner diner. So diner food

[cerulean elk]

No

Back on topic; gonna play some more 64 today for captures. Too much fun not to

[silent marten]

Did you start your texture filter video?

[cerulean elk]

Yep. 4 pm today

I’ll make another later tonight for Tuesday. “New games working and viewer request tests”

I can’t really work tomorrow/tues so I’m tucking one away for then

[compact depot]

Better wait for the SRAM build coming out today 🙃

[silent marten]

Didn't you say on Friday, I am not doing anything this weekend because it is labor day weekend?? Hahaha

[compact depot]

OoT

[cerulean elk]

Haha I got my wife’s days off wrong

I thought she had sun-Tuesday off

It’s Mon/tues

[silent marten]

Robert is not releasing anything today he said he has a birthday party to go to

[blissful plaza]

And he needs some rest too.

[silent marten]

Makes sense

[cerulean elk]

SRAM doesn’t change anything we can see anyway

[silent marten]

Ohhh SRAM will allow some additional games to boot

[cerulean elk]

But viewer request / new games working test never have to be current because they aren’t meant to. It’s fun and it covers me on a day in case something changes

[silent marten]

Then Flash will allow more

[compact depot]

OoT will boot with SRAM

[mild ether]

I heard he was waiting for the VGE video to drop before releasing.

[pallid falcon]

SRAM = Super Robby, Awesome Moderator

[cerulean elk]

True. I kinda forget some games need to see it to get past stuff. Like Cubivore

[pallid falcon]

Once Robert adds that, the core will only play Brian 64

[silent marten]

After SRAM and Flash then the only main feature that will stop games from booting will be TLB

[cerulean elk]

Well if does that tomorrow that’s Thursdays evening vid then

I won’t capture till like 9:30 Germany time. But who’s keeping track of roberts time zone and presuming what he might do….😂

[blissful plaza]

Just an idea, what if a battery fails on an original cartridge with SRAM, and the game doesn't start either ?

[pallid falcon]

I was thinking yesterday that Culture Brain are perhaps the Japanese kings of jank games

[cerulean elk]

No because the chip will be getting power via the cart slot. It will be present

Until you power off and the SRAM purges it’s data due to a dead battery

Just imagine the Seinfeld episode where George moves frogger 🤣

[blissful plaza]

I need to check my games and change the batteries soon or late.

The saves are already dumped, so I'm fine on that matter.

[mild ether]

better to do before they burst open.

Batteries and capacitors are PCB destroyers.

[blissful plaza]

I know only too well.

25 years of game preservation and dumps, I've seen things you will never believe sometimes.

[cerulean elk]

Reminds me I still have a new pcb to clean. Of what? I do not know

[mild ether]

I believe it.

[pallid falcon]

It is unseasonally hot outside. I've devoured a lemon sorbet and now I'm ready for some N64 goodness

[cerulean elk]

At first I thought it was roach shit @blissful plaza but it is flux. Why so much? I don’t know

[mild ether]

But how much Cheetos have you cleaned from NES carts?

[cerulean elk]

I can’t figure it out. Chips haven’t been reworked. Looks machine soldered

[quasi storm]

Arguably the best moment in Starfox 64, bar none...

[mild ether]

Yikes.

[cerulean elk]

Works fine. I’m very confused

[pallid falcon]

If only Slippy dies, that is acceptable

[blissful plaza]

No Cheetos, just Doritos and mice poop.

[cerulean elk]

But it’s so caked in flux. I can’t even get some of it on the chip legs to clean up

[blissful plaza]

Just why ?

[mild ether]

Maybe someone thought it was a cold solder joint somewhere and decided to reflow and left the flux behind?

Very sloppy.

[cerulean elk]

It does read as a hot air rework in hopes of fixing a problem they couldn’t find visually

At least it’s not roach goo. That’s the worst. The stink…I have to clean them outdoors

[blissful plaza]

Erk.

[cerulean elk]

Happened a few times…old board warehoused for years. Roaches get involved. Ends up with my because it’s rare and I want it

I got a Hyper Neo Geo driving IO and harness in that felt slick to the touch. All roach

[mild ether]

Yep that's gross. Hate it when people don't take a minute to remove the flux before its hard as granite though.

[pallid falcon]

When used to import pre-owned games, I always tried to get them from Japan. 99.9% they had excellent packaging and the carts/CDs were in excellent condition, had j-cards etc. When importing from America. at times nothing to protect the games, all loose and banging around in a box.

[blissful plaza]

I don't work so much on arcade boards, but tapes from Japan are a pain to dump and to maintain, like the DECO Cassette ones.

[modest helm]

How many games are fully playable with basically no issues now? Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64? Anything else

[silent marten]

Chameleon Twist, Tetrisphere, Robotron 64

[modest helm]

Robert def crushed that goal of having 1 playable game by Christmas lol

[silent marten]

I think Star Wars Shadows of the Empire is in that list as well

[mild ether]

I think he is going for 1 game not playable yet by Christmas.

[blissful plaza]

Wipeout 64 from previous tests.

[silent marten]

I did say there will be games playable by September and Robert was nah that wouldn't happen

[cerulean elk]

Yes this is granite. I may just leave it. Odds are one pin gets fucked in the process

[pallid falcon]

Kiratto Kaiketsu! 64 Tanteidan, 64 de Hakken!! Tamagotchi - Minna de Tamagotchi World, Densha de Go! 64 and a few other Japanese games

[cerulean elk]

No he meant the core after N64 🤣

[pallid falcon]

That's the GC core

[blissful plaza]

Everyone could do a barrel roll now.

[cerulean elk]

PC-FX!

[mild ether]

3DO!

[cerulean elk]

I mean we’re running out of console/handheld hardware to get cores for

[pallid falcon]

If only. It isn't 'just hentai games'

[cerulean elk]

It feels sad but I feel like we are 12-18 months away from me MiSTer being “completed” on the console and handheld side

[zinc dew]

yes officer, he was frothing at the mouth while screaming PC-FX.

No officer I don’t know what it means, must be some designer drug.

[blissful plaza]

3DO and we're done for the 5th gen.
And Jaguar needs a new core maybe, as working with the netlists derivated one seems to be unmaintainable.

[pallid falcon]

I would like a CD-i and 3DO core

[modest helm]

Is it too early to start a compatibility list? Considering many games are 100% playable now?

[cerulean elk]

Zenki! Team Innocent and Zeroigar are great too. Chip Chan kick is good…till it’s weird

[silent marten]

All jokes aside at this rate he will have TLB done by December along with all 4 Save Types saving to SD Card, so next year will be bug fixing and crash fixing

[silent marten]

There is one in the pins already

[mild ether]

I would give quite generously for a Model 2 core for arcade but I doubt anyone will ever put in the extreme work for so few games.

[blissful plaza]

Taito F3 for me, hope that Ika-chan could do it or at least finish the RE on it.

[zinc dew]

Sorry we only do cores for good games here

[pallid falcon]

Well, people want the CPS3 and that only effectively has three games, the same as Model 2

[mild ether]

I don't got a good solution to get Virtua Fighter 2 emulated in native resolution in an arcade cabinet.

[cerulean elk]

I wouldn’t call Model 2’s library a “ few games”

[mild ether]

Vf2

[zinc dew]

I said what I said

[modest helm]

I've always found it extremely ironic that people crap on consoles like the 3DO, CD-i, Jaguar etc. but champion arcade cores for systems like the CPS-3 that have like 3-5 games when there's over 300 3DO games, and over 1K games/apps on the CD-i

[zinc dew]

Virtua Fighter 2 isn’t good

[cerulean elk]

They don’t want to pay for CPS 3 and the headache it involves lol

[mild ether]

Few in relation to effort I guess.

[vagrant ivy]

300 crap games on the 3DO. Terrible terrible system

[cerulean elk]

Expensive, delicate, annoying

[zinc dew]

ITS GREAT!!!

[pallid falcon]

That's Model 2A. I would like that core as well

[remote hatch]

ufffff

[cerulean elk]

PGM or die. That’s what we need

[silent marten]

If Robert does the SRAM and Flash work soon and then continues work on the RDP by December we will probably have 60% of games fully playable

[cerulean elk]

Ok breakfast time. I’ll talk to you weirdos later

[mild ether]

Yes PGM is a worthy effort.

[pallid falcon]

I had fun with VF2 in the arcade

[cerulean elk]

@zinc dew keep them in line

[pallid falcon]

Lion was my main

[blissful plaza]

CD-i core, for driving schools interactive CDs (with mustaches, smoking while driving and no seatbelts).

[zinc dew]

So you’re saying core will be done by mid October?

[pallid falcon]

If this month has as much progress as August, maybe

[silent marten]

Maybe Mid November xD

We need a VF6

[real void]

@orchid nimbus just trying out your N64 update script here. I use an attached SSD for game storage, so needed to change the "rootDir" from what's already set, to "media/usb0". This throws off the other path allocations which use "$root" to go back a step, as the accompanying paths then will be different. It gets a little more messy then when considering the mister_unstable section, as it's using $rootdir when trying to move/delete files etc.

[vagrant ivy]

its always best to store the cores on the SD and only the games on a SSD

[real void]

@orchid nimbus Is it possible to specify an alternate location, like "rootDir2" which the script can look in, and then use associated paths for that?

[real void]

That's what I've done

[real void]

It looks like the script is assuming the games are also on the SD though

[vagrant ivy]

I never use the script its not that complex to copy one file to the console directory

[wanton sun]

I would never pressure myself with setting goal that is not realistic 🙂 But honestly, in this case i wasn't expecting it. I Thought i have to fix way more bugs in CPu, RSP, Memory, whatever before even a single game starts

[real void]

True, but the script would allow updating without having to use the PC here which would be handy. It could be altered, but my scripting is really, really basic and it'd be jank city.

[lament escarp]

So whats the plan for today? Remember, kicking back and enjoying the day is also an option. 😉

[wanton sun]

have 3 more extra cups in mario kart to do

also unlock the ghosts in 2 more time attacks

[lament escarp]

Since that game saves my bad times I feel so pressured. 😄

[modest helm]

@wanton sun First of all, thanks for your incredible work lately. Never thought we'd have so many playable games this early! Are the current EEPROM saves that are implemented for all EEPROM types?

[wanton sun]

when i finished mk64 i have to improve the core anyway, so the next game can be played, haha

[wanton sun]

i only really tested 4k eeproms. But i tested that 16k eeproms write to sdcard with yoshis story, but didn't find a good way to test if they load

it should be working, as it's the same code as for 4k, but who knows

[lament escarp]

Will that be a game that is almost running well, like turok or one that is missing quiet a bit, like oot? One would give a faster reward, The other more progress on the way there.

[zinc dew]

Quest 64 would give the biggest reward

[lament escarp]

That only needs save pak and some fixing for those pink graphical errors, right?

[zinc dew]

[worn delta]

There could be issues burried in there, I can't imagine anyone has played too far into Quest 64

[zinc dew]

That might be my pertinence

[lament escarp]

I'd play all of it when we can save the game. Don't wanna bury 10 hours in it just to restart the next day.

[wanton sun]

Banjo seems like a good candidate

[zinc dew]

If you went to be logical and right, sure

[wanton sun]

it's proven completeable and is mostly wrong with the white stuff

[real void]

@orchid nimbus actually, I think you've provisioned for this. When I look at the syntax again, there's a N64Dir="$rootDir/games/N64" specification. If I changed this to N64Dir="/media/usb0/games/N64" - that might possibly work fine? I'll check it later on! Apologies for not seeing this earlier

[zinc dew]

Banjo exhibits issues that a few other games share. Notably white edge seams on character meshes and graphical corruption black lines on effects.

[worn delta]

Crossing fingers for rumble support soon, really want to see how that feels with the core and my controller. Banjo makes use of it. 🙂

[daring meteor]

Wireframes, anyone?

[zinc dew]

Yeah, that’s a global issue with meshes that have transparencies

Banjo I believe also has that

[zinc dew]

Banjo has rumble? I completely forgot.

[worn delta]

Yeah both do

[daring meteor]

A good candidate than

By the way, anyone checked the games that don't display textures?

[worn delta]

Hopefully it is simple to wire up rumble, someone claimed it was just one wire

[silent marten]

I know buddy, you have done an amazing job with this core 🙂

[lament escarp]

Btw where is that crackling sound coming from in mk64? Also mostly at the ceremony after a cup.

[desert crow]

link's got some of the white stuff too.

[viral swift]

Damn. Played Shadowgate 64 for 2h straight with my Kids and it fucking crashed 🤣

[lament escarp]

Notice how the b button has the wrong color as the debug rom is based on the gc port

[final knoll]

Are you guys going to be looking at the 8bitdo n64 mod that releases soon to pair with a second hand n64 controller?.

Anyone have any thogughts?, it looks all good.. watched a few reviews and i can pick up an old n64 controller for next to nothing..

[wanton sun]

maybe the reason why mario64 has it...but i don't know the root cause yet

[lament escarp]

I have one of those, shig is working hard to fix the driver for it, I'm quite satisfied with it honestly.

[blissful plaza]

EEPROM 16Kb saves are working, I've just proof-tested it on Yoshi's Story.

And the second stage with Blargg's Boiler is more watchable than the first stage.

[native mesa]

some people here have it already

[viscid gate]

@wanton sun If you want to play more MK to test, Mario Kart 64 Amped Up uses EEPROM16 for time trial records. I’ve been using v2.96A and it seems to be saving & loading times OK (I added my own DB entry)

https://x.com/litronom/status/1689020595403399168?s=46&t=dRru_7pnU66Ie3r2Yd7Haw

⏱Mario Kart 64 Amped Up version 2.96 got released just in time!

• 16k EEPROM for time records!
• 4 new unlockables!
• Plenty of new opening fanfares!
• Many different aspect ratios!
• A bit more!

I can't see a reply to the post... can you post a direct link to the download and maybe then Robby can pin it

[quasi storm]

Another delicious moment...

[modest helm]

Road Rash 64 remains one of the most underrated games of all time. The best in the series imo

[quasi storm]

First time I'd seen physics, I believe.

[real void]

@orchid nimbus So I've tried this, it sort of works, but with an issue. It'll download the latest test build fine, and it'll download the latest mister_unstable fine too. It downloads the mister_unstable to the Scripts folder, but it isn't able to delete it from there when done with it. The script shows a "rm: cannot remove 'media/fat/Scripts/MiSTer_unstable_202*' no such file or directory error. It will update the main MiSTer file though as expected, it just can't delete the version downloaded when its done with it....

[viscid nebula]

Lmao wtf

[final knoll]

the driver survived right?.. everything ok?.

[real void]

The downloaded file in the Scripts folder is called "MiSTer_unstable_20230902_16efc9". The script is obviously trying to delete it based on the filename of MiSTer_unstable_202* - but it's not joining the dots somehow

[solemn maple]

Can you get into gameplay in amped up? Mine freezes after the intro

[native mesa]

What is the database entry?

[mild ether]

Second to the 3DO version really. Good stuff.

[dreamy ridge]

just found out about this website and it's REALLY cool, lets you select a map from a ton of n64/gamecube/wii/etc games, loads it in your browser, and lets you fly around in god mode: noclip.website (weird extension, but that's the url)

[zinc dew]

@wanton sun would it be too early to merge in @desert crow SNAC code?

[cerulean elk]

Breakfast achieved

The most Midwestern possible

[silent marten]

Someone has been bleeding on your eggs bro

[wanton sun]

the pancakes look good 🙂

[cerulean elk]

The blood of 1000 Louisiana peppers

[paper orchid]

Oh that's a midwest breakfast right there

[cerulean elk]

The one thing I can’t eat 🤣 comes with them but no gluten for me

[paper orchid]

Though I see ham on the right so

[eternal island]

aww, i dont see any bacon

[quasi storm]

Eh, there's ham. Same animal.

[cerulean elk]

Yeah you do!

[silent marten]

It does look good though VGE, I am not an egg fan though

[cerulean elk]

Yeah just a corner joint that’s been here since like the 60s. Cheap and delicious diner breakfast

Now I can take on N64 this afternoon

[paper orchid]

ham 🤢

The plate, that was corned beef hash though it looks like?

[mild ether]

Properly upper midwest. Cornbeef hash is goat

[paper orchid]

That it is, one of my favs

There's enough midwest transplants in Charlotte that I can get it a lot of places lol

[native mesa]

Clevelander here, you know how to party

[desert crow]

yes it would be too early since there really is no definite code yet

[wanton sun]

tried 2 courses, very nice. Unfortunatly it crashes when pressing start

[orchid nimbus]

it compares the filename and deletes only when there is a new version

so you only delete when a new core is found

[real void]

Ah, I think I understand. So I leave the newly downloaded unstable in my Scripts folder, and then when a new unstable is downloaded, the script deletes the previous one?

[orchid nimbus]

yes

[native mesa]

No pressure just trying to plan out my day off, but are you planning a build today? If not I think I'm gonna get deep into Starfield

[orchid nimbus]

I probably could truncate the file but it's so small

theres a reason @native mesa aint wearing socks too

My vote is Robert hold it up until SRAM is in too 😌

[native mesa]

knowing him it already is haha

[silent marten]

@wanton sun has it changed the white lines in Tetrisphere

[native mesa]

But that will fix OOT right?

[wanton sun]

not the hang

[wanton sun]

i was only allowed to write 3 lines of code today, so i have chosen wisely, haha

[silent marten]

Wait... you just confirmed you added SRAM or am I mistaken??

[daring meteor]

Waiting to see what was the bug

[pallid falcon]

He was working on the core at the birthday meal. He has a MiSTer implanted in his body.

[daring meteor]

He confirmed he didn't add SRAM

[silent marten]

He said not the hang....

[mortal panther]

He didn't confirm that he didn't not add SRAM?

[orchid nimbus]

TEST BUILDS!!!

[daring meteor]

Very simple, just a simple if haha

[wanton sun]

sram is not added, only the white pixels are hopefully gone

only tested banjo, feel free to test the other games

[compact depot]

Link is not on drugs anymore?

[mortal panther]

RDP: fix 2 cycle mode trigger generation at end of polygon

[daring meteor]

Those types of ifs always get me confused cause I'm used to software programming when they don't make any sense

[orchid nimbus]

update_N64.sh can be used

I already uploaded it

[vagrant ivy]

To steal your soul

[pallid falcon]

But what if the game has white pixels - will Mario's eyes (when they arrive) be black souless things? 🤔

[worn delta]

Are script download builds going to console or unstable folder now?

new build fixed Link too, no more white stuff. Good job 🙂

[cerulean elk]

Or maybe it won’t. I’m not sure now

[tropic sand]

Oh yeah... Lol 🤣

[compact depot]

Winners don’t use drugs! 😌

[worn delta]

Oh wow, how playable is Ocarina now?

[pallid falcon]

He had detox

[nimble needle]

Aw. Kinda miss the jizz-laden hero meself

[remote hatch]

Jungle is great game too, Amiga times 🙂

[cerulean elk]

Stop talking about @zinc dew like that

[quaint rune]

It’s crashy

[desert crow]

yeah most rooms crash, don't get too excited about that yet

[worn delta]

Thanks, good to know

Any idea what the cause of the crash is? Something known that hasn't been added yet?

[compact depot]

Lack of SRAM support

[worn delta]

Got you

[viscid gate]

@solemn maple @native mesa Odd, I get in game OK. I used the v.2.96A patch (this is the MD5 of the patched rom in my DB entry)
5e417f79876b8acc73f93f80e4942435 ntsc|cic6102|eeprom2k # mario kart 64 (u) [!] (amped up v2.96a)

[wanton sun]

works here too, but can you press start?

[inner garden]

curious if anyone has tried F-Zero X

[tropic sand]

Rush 2... New build... No white bits 🥰

[dreamy ridge]

just have been looking into your fastroms...so they cut out all slowdown from snes games?

[mild ether]

Level select hold C-Down when the name of the first city appears, and use the Joystick or the D-Pad to select a different one.

[viscid nebula]

Not all but significantly

[cerulean elk]

Ooh nice. I’ll add that to Tuesday cause Rush 2 is in tonight

[viscid nebula]

Clock speed from 2.68mhz -> 3.58

[mild ether]

RUSSSH!

[pallid falcon]

Is anyone else getting horribly garbled audio with the new update?

[orchid nimbus]

added to page

[pallid falcon]

I was testing some Japanese games, they had it, tried some US ones I know work, and they too have awful audio

[wanton sun]

maybe reboot core or mister

[dreamy ridge]

very cool...i played gradius 3 with no slowdown a couple years ago, i think the guy leveraged the Super FX chip to speed it up. are you doing the same thing?

[pallid falcon]

I rebooted the core, I'll erboot the MiSTer

[wanton sun]

the change really cannot influence audio

[viscid nebula]

He used sa-1, sadly I’m not at that level yet…and may never be

Hoping vitor will teach me one day

[viscid gate]

Yes, in Time Trial it locks up if I press Start.
I completed the 3 laps to test if it saved the time so hadn't tried pausing in TT yet!
Works fine when you press Start in GP mode tho...

[viscid nebula]

He’s recovering from some serious health issues but he’s gradually coming back!

[dreamy ridge]

wow that sucks i didn't know that

so how do you bump the clock speed?

[viscid nebula]

Yeah he disappeared for almost 3 months

[pallid falcon]

Still getting garbled audio

[viscid nebula]

Well you tell register $420D to be 1 instead of 0 but you also have to set the banks to all run in banks $80+ instead of $00+ which can be challenging

[vagrant ivy]

Audio is fine for me

[viscid nebula]

All jsl/jml calls have to be modified

[pallid falcon]

Weird. Exact same set up as yesterday, only replaced the core

[viscid nebula]

And you have to make sure to jump into fastrom on boot

[mild ether]

Not PAL?

[viscid nebula]

Interrupts also jump to slowrom so I redirect them

[native mesa]

MK amped up is lots of fun

[dreamy ridge]

interesting, so the snes had the capability to run the clock faster but the devs chose the slower clockrate for some reason?

[viscid nebula]

Cost

[native mesa]

works perfectly for me

[viscid nebula]

A lot of games you can tell were written for fastrom but you can tell the bit was turned off at the last minute

What’s funny is every rom chip actually can run fastrom

So out of this world “forgot” to turn off the bit

And is in fact fastrom

[wanton sun]

maybe try to install the other core in parallel to see if that was really the reason

[viscid nebula]

Even though ever interview says they were cut to slowrom

[dreamy ridge]

cost as in, it would have to be an upgraded physical cartridge they printed the game on to leverage the faster speed?

[viscid nebula]

Yeah

Or so they were told

[pallid falcon]

I tried a different core, it also has garbled audio must be my set-up

[viscid nebula]

All rom chips tested to date by hackers were capable of fastrom lol

So some fastrom conversions I just have to flip the switch to turn it on

Others I have to decomp the entire game which means I have to play through the full game to log the data as code

So right now I’m hoping for more runners

The more people that can log data and play a game for me the faster I can convert

[mild ether]

Adds feastures menu to pause screen with level select and cheats.

[viscid nebula]

Or I gotta stop being lazy and run a damn game myself 🤣

Go back to my roots

[dreamy ridge]

great work man, i love this kind of stuff

[cerulean elk]

Ooh nice

[viscid nebula]

Thank you!

[fair stump]

The intro pokemon to Pokémon Stadium 2 are perfect now

[mild ether]

Replaces pause menu with debug menu.

[viscid nebula]

It’s awesome to give back to the community that’s given me so much

[hollow badger]

Where's the N64 core at so I can try it out? (Sorry for the noob question. Looked around first but i suck at looking and my wife isn't awake to find it for me lol)

[viscid nebula]

The emulation scene is the goat

[vagrant ivy]

#test-builds message

[mild ether]

Press A on main menu to get level select.

[hollow badger]

You are a gentleman and a scholar.

...If i spelled that right. I went to a community college.

[mild ether]

@orchid nimbus I got those too currently if you want to add.

[pallid falcon]

I un- and re-plugged cables and audio is okay again

[fair stump]

100% randomly crashing on this screen but is Pikachu being visible new?

[zinc dew]

They say Pikachu only appears to sinners and demons

[quaint rune]

Birdy

[orchid nimbus]

no

[desert crow]

you have to get the pif rom, and the database.

[marble cargo]

Huh, no wonder so many people love Pikachu.

[desert crow]

there's some setup to do to get things to work

[hollow badger]

Is the core HDMI only, or can i use my analog IO to get some hot, errotic CRT action

[vagrant ivy]

https://vampier.net/N64/

[marble cargo]

Also glad Banjo-Kazooie is now a lot less moldy.

[zinc dew]

@desert crow forgot to mention earlier. Thanks for the response, brother. Appreciate you educating me. 💪

[vagrant ivy]

Every post educates you though

[dreamy ridge]

don't feel bad...people get annoyed at helping people get setup but discord is a maze and finding the info in the pins is NOT intuitive 🤣 vampier's site will help you a lot: https://vampier.net/N64/

[zinc dew]

I can’t even catch a break in here lol

[desert crow]

there's still work to be done, I don't understand everything yet. but I don't blame you for being excited, it's just not ready yet.

[dreamy ridge]

banjo's kazooie's OST with the main theme metamorpasizing as you get close to a new level entrance is SO incredible

[orchid nimbus]

added

thanks 🙂

[mild ether]

Thank you!

[cerulean elk]

People can always @ me with obv questions we all know the answers to. I don’t mind

[dreamy ridge]

same bro, high five

[zinc dew]

@cerulean elk why do you suck

[hollow badger]

Appreciate that. Tim enchanted me with the link, it's pretty straight forward, albiet a little daunting. not the fault of the person who wrote the tutorial, more me just being cautious not to mess anything up with my MiSTer

[zinc dew]

ok sorry new people here. I think he’s awesome, we just have this mutual hate thing going on

[mild ether]

@cerulean elk when will you test Gals Panic in the Saturn core?

[dreamy ridge]

luckily mister is pretty hard to brick 🤣

[mild ether]

Can it be bricked?

[vagrant ivy]

no

[hollow badger]

Oh, ima bout to light you up. I'm autistic AF

[mild ether]

I didn't think so.

[zinc dew]

lol “Tim enchanted me with the link”

[native mesa]

If you throw a brick at it probably

[dreamy ridge]

i'm sure you can brick it if you ssh in and start dicking with the linux filesystem

[vagrant ivy]

You can always just mr Fusion and start again

[dreamy ridge]

right, you would just have to re-image

[devout leaf]

Be careful or the mods will time you out.

[dreamy ridge]

lmaooooo

[zinc dew]

I tried to time myself out, I can’t! I can’t even demod myself wtf.

[dreamy ridge]

that pic is the modern day equivalent of humans discovering fire

[zinc dew]

this sucks

[daring meteor]

You can demod yourself if you have a role higher than mod

[mild ether]

Should do a picture tv screen on the monolith from 2001 with quest six four

[zinc dew]

BROTHER!!!

[native mesa]

Does anyone know what OOT ROM is being used?

[fair stump]

Seriously, who thought this FNaF face was a good way to start a game?

[hollow badger]

does the n64 core have rumble support? i have the fabled N64 NSO

[vagrant ivy]

not yet

[dreamy ridge]

isn't it the pal masterquest version?

[native mesa]

It's some test rom

[brisk drum]

https://tenor.com/view/omg-gif-20454669

at the pace this core updates we probably got it as you were typing that out. like got dang man, Robert is a legend.

[desert crow]

yxkalle shared a patch, think it's on vamps site

[cerulean elk]

I take after you

[hollow badger]

anyone try out Super Smash Bros?

[brisk drum]

Is Robby your dad ?

[hollow badger]

i am

[desert crow]

search chat for original rom md5 if you want to

[silent marten]

Smash needs TLB I believe which is not yet implemented

[hollow badger]

cc

[dreamy ridge]

i haven't heard ANYONE talk about smash yet so i doubt it works. here is a full list of which games play, the chat has been killing it with keeping it updated: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H4KYg0gsOWGayioXKSETtlM7d7g3Tk4w0QXqtXvugG8/edit#gid=0

[brisk drum]

And TLC

[cerulean elk]

Step dad

[vapid hawk]

is banjo a game that just starts or do you need a patch ?

[cerulean elk]

I’m much too handsome to be related to Robby

[fair stump]

That data cache seriously improved the Triple Play 2000 framerate

[quaint rune]

It just starts

[dreamy ridge]

it just starts 🥹

[brisk drum]

Daauuummm! @zinc dew your response sir ..

[vapid hawk]

banjo was actually the first n64 game i ever played

[cerulean elk]

He can’t talk. I grounded him

[vapid hawk]

i had banjo, and mario64 and i kinda preferred banjo

[inner bronze]

Take away his Q-word sixty four privileges, thatll show him.

[vapid hawk]

mainly because the mario cart i got had a save on it already, but i didn't understand so i was playing a like half finished game and getting no tutorials 😄

[waxen lodge]

@orchid nimbus if you want a resource for quickly testing levels in Mario 64, the speedrun practice hack seems to work well. I patched the JP ROM then did the faceless hack on top. Just press Down on the dpad to open menu, R to the level select and A to pick level, very easy https://sites.google.com/view/supermario64/usamunepj/usamunerom

[native mesa]

Wasn't it close to the last game to be released?

[vapid hawk]

not even close

[quasi storm]

Tetrisphere is looking perfect now!

[vapid hawk]

there's a sequel to it on the same console for starters 😄

[silent marten]

Share image

[quasi storm]

Minus the the dudes you have to rescue.

One moment

[native mesa]

Found the list https://ultimatepopculture.fandom.com/wiki/Chronology_of_Nintendo_64_games

[silent marten]

These will require AA to be implemented before they look perfect

[brisk drum]

Stupid Labor Day weekend I should be at home testing n64

[daring meteor]

AA vs Dither

[native mesa]

By perfect you mean matching original hardware I assume :p

[mild ether]

Pixels need to be sharp as razors!

[native mesa]

I think it's perfect now

[cerulean elk]

Speaking of handsome I promise a “MiSTers Handsomest Men” calendar 🤣 @zinc dew can we do this

[native mesa]

Mister swimsuit edition featuring men only

[cerulean elk]

I’d do it 🤣 for real. Would be hilarious

[final knoll]

there's January.

[pallid falcon]

All Japanese exclusives have been tested. 38 are marked as playable

[mild ether]

Sweet! Finally can play Shōgi!

Wait!!!

[quasi storm]

Alright, you got me... It's not PERFECT, but it is so much better!

[mild ether]

Vivid Dolls is a Japanese exclusive.

[quasi storm]

Don't mind my roommate munching on chips in the background... 😆

[worn delta]

I am interested to see if the Shogi game that had the built in modem becomes playable without needing some extra hardware or "mapper". Hopefully that one just works without

[silent marten]

This looks amazing to me 🙂

[native mesa]

Wow tetrisphere butchered the N logo

[zinc dew]

No, I think people would get bored of seeing me every month lolol

[pallid falcon]

Saikyou Habu Shougi is playable, go for it! The other two are not at the moment.

[cerulean elk]

There’s already a What We Do in the Shadows calendar.

[worn delta]

Morita Shogi 64 is the modem game

[zinc dew]

TRUE

Aw the transparency went away

[final knoll]

Man i never knew 🙂
So freekin cool!

[mild ether]

Very interesting they made a single game with a modem built in.

[pallid falcon]

Which one is Robby?

[viscid gate]

It cleans up the seams on the riders on Wave Race

[cerulean elk]

Trick…it’s the same person in both photos

[quasi storm]

The only game with online functionality, and it's freaking mahjong...

[mild ether]

Not mahjong.

[native mesa]

Japan loves their majjong

[final knoll]

there is no end to @wanton sun Haberdashery skills !

[mild ether]

Shōgi

[quasi storm]

No?

[marble cargo]

Doesn't boot. All you get is a pixel vomit screen.

[mild ether]

Different game.

Don't understand either of them though. 😂

[quasi storm]

Eh, they all look the same to me...

[worn delta]

Looks like nobody has looked at the Homebrew games tab and tested those yet, it actually too many. Might be time to run through those and see where we are at

[native mesa]

SRAM and TLB should make like 90% of things playable right?

The good 90%

[quasi storm]

All I know for certain is my gut says...maybe.

[pallid falcon]

Dafuq is THAT?!

Man, people were really confident in that cartridge connection...

[worn delta]

Is that the 64DD modem?

[pallid falcon]

The modem cartridge for Randnet (64DD)

[native mesa]

Nintendo really wanted a frankenmachine

[pallid falcon]

Someone recently was able to access the internet via his 64DD (not using the original servers)

[native mesa]

And the consumers stopped it

[cerulean elk]

@zinc dew here’s august for the calendar 🤣 I want to see more submissions

[regal prism]

Sick

Where did you get that?

[final knoll]

dribbling right now

[worn delta]

That's interesting, is there anything you can do or just "surf the web" like it was 1999

[native mesa]

Oktoberfest Friday

[regal prism]

IIRC It was to share things made in the mario artist studio

[brisk drum]

Prost!!

Here’s my submission for the calendar @cerulean elk

[pallid falcon]

It's early days, might be able to do more. He uses a Raspberry Pi to 'help

' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlhylDosi8Y

[cerulean elk]

We can get that in the calendar

I’m not even kidding. We can sell them for charity. Some tech in low income neighborhoods group

[quaint rune]

😼 alright count me in, I can do February.

[pallid falcon]

No true online connectivity yet, but it could be possible (he can view things online at the moment)

[native mesa]

I'm still recovering honestly. I'm getting old

[brisk drum]

Oktoberfest is coming up soon

[native mesa]

They didn't have hammerschlagen 😦

[brisk drum]

Is that picture in Germany ?

[native mesa]

It's already here in my area

No Cleveland

That was this Friday

[cerulean elk]

This can be April 🤣

[brisk drum]

Im in Wisconsin in a college town Oktoberfest goes hard around here

[cerulean elk]

And no photos of me without sunglasses on do not exist

[native mesa]

This was June I believe

[manic basin]

Corey Hart confirmed

[compact depot]

Wtf is going on here lol

[mild ether]

Fellow Wisconsinite!

[cerulean elk]

It’s what happens when you shoot on glaciers for years and don’t wear protective eyewear because you can’t use a camera with them. Damaged eyes 🤣

[final knoll]

Slippery slope to Discord Nakedness, that's what's going on here.

[compact depot]

You’re a celebrity then

[manic basin]

Giflebrity!

[pallid falcon]

I wish Starfox 64 had an invert y-axis option...

Just started it and the controls are 'wrong'

[manic basin]

I'm used to it now, but I'd prefer it as well.

[pallid falcon]

I expect somone has made a hack

No hack in the Everdive pack

[vapid hawk]

might be a cheat for it

[compact depot]

That’s unacceptable! I would request my money back!

[plush summit]

NOT AGAIN, sorry @manic basin, had to

[pallid falcon]

I will ask my solicitor to pen a letter to archive dot org

[plush summit]

also, is it just me, or some games regressed in newer builds

[mild ether]

Find a GameShark code and I will see if I can patch it in.

[devout leaf]

I wonder at what point the SNAC/SNAX connectivity can be added to the main branch.

Since it's being tested.

[compact depot]

Soon™️

[vapid hawk]

i actually can't find one

[mild ether]

Can't believe they wouldn't have that as an option.

[vapid hawk]

it was before everyone agreed to just always make that an option

quite a lot of n64 games are invert y i think

maybe the core could have an invert stick option? idk how practical that is

[desert nest]

Flux is your friend! Especially when you're drag soldering ICs like that... you just have to, you know, actually clean it off afterward.

[mild ether]

Ahh before they figured out that it's the completely wrong way.

[desert nest]

Ooh I just saw you said it wasn't reworked, haha that's wild.

[vapid hawk]

what i did come across while looking for a hack was a lot of people debating invert vs not-invert lol

i used to fly gliders, when your life depends on remembering the stick is inverted it tends to stick with you

[pallid falcon]

I can find GS codes for Star Fox 64, but not one to invert the controls

[vapid hawk]

yeah there's a bunch of other stuff

[compact depot]

That would be very easy to implement and that would be super useful haha

[mild ether]

Well the menus and everything else would be backwards.

[vapid hawk]

true yeah

some games might let you dpad the menus

[desert crow]

sounds goofy, but maybe remap controls while playing starfox

[sly wasp]

is starfox 64 the same ie forward to dive?

[vapid hawk]

yeah

[mild ether]

There is a idea

[sly wasp]

ahh cool..that's my preference as it's like flyng a real jet but I can see why invert is preferred by some

[cerulean elk]

Which they def did NOT lol

[languid dune]

We Wisconsin peeps need to stick to together! We love Dragon Force after all!

[mild ether]

We got a whole Wisco gang going.

[languid dune]

🧀

[drowsy lantern]

All that audio popping/static in Banjo is making me wonder whether that can damage my speakers?

[mild ether]

No, just your sanity.

[native mesa]

All flight games should have inverted Y

At least in first person

[pallid falcon]

... and an option to reverse the controls

[stuck summit]

It's looking so damn good!

[cerulean elk]

You guys know how to make a Bloody Mary that’s for sure

[mild ether]

Not just bloody marys but the meal on top.

[devout leaf]

I wasn’t even thinking of remapping controls. Wonder if I can make JFG feel better. Love that game but it handles kind of rough.

[cerulean elk]

I saw one at Sobelmans that had a whole damn fried chicken on top

Keygen music

[drowsy lantern]

When mapping the C-buttons to a joystick, is there a way to adjust the sensitivity or otherwise gates of the joystick? I’m finding myself accidentally hitting the wrong button quite more often than I’d like.

[vapid hawk]

no but thats a good idea

[fair stump]

is there an easy place to find the homebrew items?

[native mesa]

like the rom patches for fixes?

Vampier.net/N64 has compiles some

[stuck summit]

I actually really like this game lol

[fair stump]

now i just have to figure out how to download a github folder

[manic basin]

I just smashed some dogs with rocks. This kid is a menace.

[lean spruce]

Its been long since i played MK64, so maybe a dumb question. I completed tre cups today, and have opened the OSD efterwards. But nowhere in the game I can see that I have gold medal on any cup. Am I doing something wrong or is it expected?

[worn delta]

Might be worth @orchid nimbus adding a glossary to the FAQ for what things like RDP and TLB stand for and a brief explanation

[cerulean elk]

Ok I dragged my ass into my office...lets do some 64

thankfully its like 93 out and too damn hot to do anythingh

[fair stump]

I'm gonna go ahead and let someone else see if the Wet Dreams homebrew boots

[wanton sun]

you should see the trophy when you try to start the same cup inthe same cc again

[drowsy lantern]

You can only see which trophy you got when you select the cup. It won’t show beforehand.

[lean spruce]

Ah, ok! Thank you

[drowsy lantern]

Small nitpick: If you’re holding a stick and then open the OSD, the stick will remain “stuck” in that direction even when you let go of it. You need to close the OSD for it to register.

[spare meadow]

KI Gold. Almost there😀

[hollow orbit]

@wanton sun what’s it like being productive? Since this core went from nothing working to texture filtering I’ve cut my grass once.

I don’t understand what that life must be like

[tropic sand]

Wasn't this in the FAQ...

[weak sierra]

Putting the smile on hundred’s of people’s faces for free. That must be the feeling of this N64 core.

[cerulean elk]

@Robby hasnt showered since this started

but thats normal

[lament escarp]

Neither have I.

The third level in yoshi's story actually doesn't do the trippy thing and you can actually kinda play it

[shrewd ravine]

hi all - I'm having a tough time getting the latest version of the core to work. N64NICCC.N64 that Robert shared works fine, so I think my boot.rom isn't the issue

[bitter fjord]

though if anything the cores I would want would be :
PC-FX > PC-98 > PC-88 > Virtual Boy > CPS3 > N64 xD

[shrewd ravine]

I'm running N64_20230903.rbf

I've also dropped yxkalle's extended n64-databse.txt into my /games/n64 folder. Can anybody pls help me troubleshoot?

[bitter fjord]

and maybe a CDi core to play hotel mario xD

or Nuon core xD

[vagrant ivy]

https://vampier.net/N64/

read that for details

[wanton sun]

haha, no idea what i should answer, but it really made me laugh, thank you 🙂

[shrewd ravine]

thank you! The script did it.

[bitter fjord]

@wanton sun can you work on a PC-FX core next? 🤡

[vagrant ivy]

isnt that the Hentai console

and thats all it does
