Nintendo 64

[chilly ember]

That any different?

[mild ether]

Just looking over Zoinkity's notes in the patch zip to see what is happening.

Wasn't too much detail on the assembler forum post.

[languid dune]

Doom 64 seems to not lock up as quickly anymore. Still does, but I got a lot further this time.

[native mesa]

How's the OOT test rom? Still crashes?

[paper orchid]

Alright, for S&P I can get through all of Chapter 1, some minor graphical glitches and extra slowdown in 1-2

[paper orchid]

Onto Chapter 2 now

[oblique remnant]

Razor Scooter is now playable 😄

[remote hatch]

Nightmare Creature works

[paper orchid]

Brad's eyes are red and there's one texture in chapter 2 that I think might be an alpha issue

[chilly ember]

Does it run slow tho?

[brisk drum]

Batman beyond plays like terry mcguiness just took a bong rip of crack before he put on the bat suit

[remote hatch]

Yeah 12-15 fps

[languid dune]

Did Gex 3 work before? I know Gex 64 did already.

[chrome quest]

Can't get DK64 to see the expansion still. Not sure what I'm missing... Trying to swap Cache on/off, change the RAM size setting.....

[chilly ember]

Both gex games worked before

[lean spruce]

Can anybody try Rayman 2. I get a black screen on this build. Its a regressio I rebooted MiSter and now have video. All games loded and I heard the sound but had a black screen, but not in OSD. But after reboot it works again.

[chilly ember]

You need the patch

[brisk drum]

Robert mentioned dk64 wasn’t working with the expansion yet

[shrewd peak]

chameleon twist 2 works now

[chrome quest]

@winged garden reported getting it working without it

[marble cargo]

Really happy the Mario Party games are now playable. I remember sinking a lot into Mario Party 2 in particular.

[chilly ember]

Oh well then maybe not anymore then. Needed it before

[languid dune]

ISS Soccer 2000 works for me now. I used to only be able to get ISS 64 to work.

[vapid moat]

MARIO PARTY WORKS

[oblique remnant]

some progress on SCARS

[hexed knot]

Not just 1, 2 and 3 work too!

[tepid gorge]

Yoshi's Story

[vague sun]

LIVE NOW checking out the latest N64 beta core update 20230904 on the #MiSTerFPGA! Now with more texture filtering and wrapping! - https://twitch.tv/owlnonymous

[brisk drum]

Buckbumble playable af

[hexed flax]

Any luck with the wrestling games?

[brisk drum]

Play some buckbumble

[vague sun]

that song gets the stream muted

[vapid moat]

Mario Party has some drawing issues on the maps but so far works like a charm

[languid dune]

Who the heck owns the rights to the Buck Bumble song?

[lean spruce]

yes, but first intro scene in attrackt mode dipped into 10 fps

[languid dune]

It's an improvement.

[brisk drum]

I do t knwo but they need to put that shit on iTunes

[fiery grove]

oh my, that's OoT running on MiSTer?

[vapid moat]

It's been almost 1 week + 2 days testing Mario Party booting up beyond main menu

[languid dune]

Mickey's Speedway USA is no longer in deep shadow when racing. I was out of the testing for much of last week, so not sure it was fixed in a previous build.

[vapid moat]

Robert is true madman goals

[hexed knot]

Vigilante 8 and V8 2nd Offense get into game pretty consistently.

[native mesa]

What's young lonk doin there

[chilly ember]

Niiice i wonder if high resolution mode works. Needs a code

[paper orchid]

Chapter 2-2 is slowing way down, but that's kinda expected

[chilly ember]

How bad does oot run in hyrule field?

[brisk drum]

Come on rakuga kids!

[marble cargo]

The better question is when do the Legend of Zelda games run good.

[cold pollen]

any glitches?

[languid dune]

When they're 2D!

[chrome quest]

Camera recording the "full" picture. I dunno, that looked like a spider eyed Pikachu to me Oak

[languid dune]

Or Skyward Sword on Switch. Actually 60fps.

[fair stump]

Is the pokemon snap music playing well? That's like 75% of the reason I want to play it

[hallow sedge]

Hi guys, I'm running the update_N64 script, but I'm getting a wget: missing URL error., any idea what's wrong? Thanks!

[chrome quest]

Sounds perfect to my ears

"Wonderful!"

[hexed knot]

Yeah, other than some texture issues, couldn't find too much wrong with Snap.

[brisk drum]

Custom robo works but can’t see the arena floors

[zinc dew]

🇶 🇺 🇪 🇸 🇹 6️⃣ 4️⃣

[languid dune]

Come on Robby! Abuse your powers and type the real deal!

[fallen sparrow]

Is it working?

[fair stump]

Can anyone please check if neon genesis still freezes on mission one?

[fallen sparrow]

Asking for a friend

[zinc dew]

Yeah, it was working with yesterday's build too

[chilly ember]

Quest was working before it seemed but had weird pink in the text

[fallen sparrow]

Sweet, my friend will be happy
@cerulean elk

[hollow rune]

It has actually been that way since late August

[chilly ember]

Does monster truck madness do anything?

[hexed knot]

Ohho! Hey You Pikachu gets past the title screen and in game.
Mic support when.

cracked 40% playable, I think we gained like 7% just with this build so far.

[chrome quest]

Sin and Punishment is not feezing.........
Got to second level. Will stop here. Cutscenes fine too. All looking great

[paper orchid]

Took a death on Brad (chapter 2-2) but so far, it's still going!

[hexed knot]

I was getting crashes when selecting Rental pokemon.

[paper orchid]

(I really need a proper N64 controller for this game)

[chrome quest]

Stadium 1 I also had issues. 2 seems near fully playable

[paper orchid]

Graphical issues and my general rustiness with S&P aside, this has made my day

[hexed knot]

Yeah, lots of UI graphical issues, but it loads into a Battle.

[manic basin]

Animal Forest is also cleaned up dramatically.

[oblique remnant]

no Expak patched DK64 works no without crash so far 😮

[cloud peak]

sin and punishment doesn’t crash anymore

[hexed knot]

It is now!

[brisk drum]

Knockout kings 2000 works

[cloud peak]

The core is complete

[chrome quest]

Another person did it! I keep trying. Any off standard settings?

[daring meteor]

I need to figure out the right mapping for my Xbox Original Layout controllers

[cloud peak]

But holy shit duke nukem has horrible controls

[zinc dew]

Ridge Racer 64 works!

[native mesa]

Man I loved Vigilante 8

[zinc dew]

It’s missing half the road texture for half the race though lol

[oblique remnant]

just loaded a 101% savegame

[brisk drum]

I use a ds4 and map the C buttons to the right stick

[cold pollen]

sorry this is the N64 core channel, the Genesis core is labeled "Sega Mega Drive/CD/32X"

[verbal cedar]

That game never hit consistent 30 fps if I remember playing it on the actual n64 correct. So the 26 fps isn't surprising either (it might actually be more accurate to the hardware)

[brisk drum]

https://tenor.com/view/misato-evangelion-gif-24885882

[daring meteor]

Neon Mega Drive Evangelion

Or Neon Berešit Evangelion if you're Jewish

[languid dune]

Interesting that the wire frame issue is still visible on the Drake Lake course in Wave Race. It's fixed on the other courses though.

[cloud peak]

Yeah same

[zinc dew]

Fog

[brisk drum]

Marginally better

[cloud peak]

But you control movement with c stick

[brisk drum]

Oh lol same with turok

[languid dune]

I assumed it was because of the water reflections.

[mild ether]

Zool appears to work and looks great. If I could only read Japanese.

[zinc dew]

Those are duped polygons below the water surface

[cloud peak]

I wish define button for game would stay intact and not reset after each game change

[zinc dew]

Maybe that?

omg Rocket Robot on Wheels boots!

[daring meteor]

There's an English version on the Amiga

[languid dune]

Yeah, I figured that was the cause since it's the only course in the game with the effect.

[thick terrace]

SCARS plays

[zinc dew]

Actually nevermind. It’s a type of transparency.

Let me take photo

Damn I forgot the remote app ip LOL

[hexed knot]

Saaaaarge

[chrome quest]

I just mean from boot, won't get past Expansion Pak not installed. Odd you don't have that, same as the other person....
Anyone else test DK64. Must be something different...

[brisk drum]

Hexen displays no graphics .. unless you turn off draw to Z

[plush summit]

Has the MiSTer Unstable file changed recently? and is there a file to adjust modern sticks to 64's range?

[brisk drum]

Than the game functions perfectly

[zinc dew]

There’s a test mister build in #controllers

[brisk drum]

Ok maybe not perfect but at least you can see most of the environment

[paper orchid]

Alright, more slowdown in 2-3, but also expected

[fair stump]

Neon Genesis Evangelion does is getting further now

[native mesa]

Earthworm Jim 3D is working well

[fair stump]

And is playable

[paper orchid]

2-2 and 2-3 are very busy so the game slowing down past the artificial slowdown Treasure adds is expected

[plush summit]

Is it only for the NSO controller?

[hexed knot]

Asteroids working now

[paper orchid]

And we're done with 2-3!

[zinc dew]

@languid dune check out this photo of Rocket

[cloud peak]

Susume Taisen puzzle works with glitchy graphics

[zinc dew]

Polygon seams in transparencies so I assume is that to be a transparency mode

[fallen sparrow]

What game is this?

[cloud peak]

neon genesis Evangelion

[zinc dew]

No for modern controllers to emulate N64 stick range

[oblique remnant]

on the regular rom I can't get it to boot still hangs at expak screen. I can't really believe that this game even has the "crazy" lightning effect without any major glitches 😄

[zinc dew]

For people taking pictures of their TVs, you can use @maiden wyvern’s Remote Script to make your lives so much easier: https://github.com/wizzomafizzo/mrext/blob/main/docs/remote.md

[fallen sparrow]

I'm gonna have a busy day tomorrow

[hexed knot]

Bassmasters does live up to the name.

[native mesa]

Extreme G works! kinda

[zinc dew]

Literally take screenshot on your phone and access the screenshot from your phone to paste into Discord.

[fair stump]

Neon Genesis eventually froze

[zinc dew]

Also screenshots look way better

[fair stump]

But was very playable until then

[zinc dew]

use this script for screenshots

https://github.com/wizzomafizzo/mrext/blob/main/docs/remote.md

[cloud peak]

Ucchannanchan no Honō no Challenger: Denryū Iraira Bō works

[round hull]

California speed works

[zinc dew]

Did you just sneeze?

[brisk drum]

Hydro thunder running proper now

[cloud peak]

You don’t want to do that when playing the game 🤣

[languid dune]

gazoontite

[mild ether]

Running slow but Shadowgate is looking good!!

This is super impressive.

[manic basin]

Well, no saves, obviously, but Tom Nook shook me down and I've already done a quest for him, gathered some fruit, met a few townsfolk.... it's still got a few minor graphical issues on the menu, but otherwise, it's pretty amazing!

[hexed knot]

It might be better to highlight what games aren't working right now.

[hearty oar]

You can also press win + shift + prnt screen and it will save a screenshot to your MiSTer’s SD card, not as convenient as the remote though

[zinc dew]

@cerulean elk + @fallen sparrow Rocket - Robot on Wheels seems to work pretty flawlessly. Should cover that in a video, it’s a awesome hidden gem 3D platformer for the system.

[brisk drum]

That’s been true for a few builds

Everyone please remember to check the list before posting about games ..

[zinc dew]

Me Tarzan, you Boot

[mild ether]

Didn't know that thanks.

[cloud peak]

Star soldier vanishing earth works

[brisk drum]

Yep that’s been working

[cloud peak]

Arcade title

Yup

[paper orchid]

3-1 clear, onto 3-2

Then I can fight the planet soon

[remote hatch]

Air Boarder works

[brisk drum]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H4KYg0gsOWGayioXKSETtlM7d7g3Tk4w0QXqtXvugG8/edit?usp=drivesdk

[zinc dew]

This is a bad thing!

[chrome quest]

@plush summit Did you find which one to test? all I can see are NSO specific ID controller fixes

[cerulean elk]

Next vid

[hexed knot]

Beetles be racing now

[desert crow]

think it's good to do a screenshot for all the new games that work, that way Robert can just scroll through and see all the new stuff

[dusty tusk]

Don't worry guys Hamster Monogatari runs

[brisk drum]

Yeah but no one could figure out how to get in game because menu text was missing

[hexed knot]

Check the spreadsheet in the pinned messages, not sure!

[brisk drum]

I managed to get in game by hammering A on the second menu

[remote hatch]

Batman works fine

[hexed knot]

Sick, update the sheet if you can!

[native mesa]

Link you predator

[zinc dew]

I’m sorry

[brisk drum]

Iggys wrecking balls now working fine currently listed as a no boot if anyone cares to confirm and update the sheet

[hexed knot]

Can do.

[brisk drum]

https://tenor.com/view/cando-meseeks-rick-morty-gif-4715556

Thanks bro

[paper orchid]

Death on 3-2

[zinc dew]

lol Chameleon Twist 2 works now

[remote hatch]

Rainbow Six works

[fallen sparrow]

Thanks Robby, added to list

[brisk drum]

@fallen sparrow daikatana works perfectly now

[zinc dew]

This game has the ability to destroy your framerate when you stick your tongue out LOL. From 30 to 8.

[paper orchid]

Alright, so S&P is "theoretically completable", I beat 3-3 separately and I'm back on it in a full playthrough

[brisk drum]

Monkey kong

[paper orchid]

Back on 3-3 in a full playthrough now

[oblique remnant]

how this game even works yet 😄

[paper orchid]

Oh there was some uh

Maybe some floating point weirdness in the 3-3 cutscene

[hexed knot]

Yep, 2 isn't though. Updated the SS.

[fallen sparrow]

Thanks Taco, that's actually a request via the channel.

[brisk drum]

Yeah from me lol

[zinc dew]

LMAO

[round hull]

Doom64 doesn’t crash anymore

[brisk drum]

While you are at it check out hydro thunder brother @fallen sparrow

[remote hatch]

Tony Hawk's 3

[zinc dew]

@brisk drum perfect!

[fallen sparrow]

Oh shit, lol.

[brisk drum]

https://tenor.com/view/jig-lit-skeleton-dance-bounce-gif-13381428

[zinc dew]

[paper orchid]

Alright, and that's the final boss in S&P

[fallen sparrow]

Sweet,

[paper orchid]

Going to watch the final cutscene, then I'm gonna hook up the original and see if the weirdness I saw exists on the real cart

[hexed knot]

I still got a crash after trying to exit the first room. You didn't see that?

[warped patrol]

Luigi #1!

[brisk drum]

Pirate Luigi bro …

[languid dune]

I'm-a Luigi! Numbah one!

[brisk drum]

I’m a stuck on mace the dark age aka dollar general Soul Calibur

[round hull]

I thought it stopped freezing then it crashed

[brisk drum]

Yeah doom64 crashed for me after blasting a few baddies .. plus the core still shows boxes around the sprites

[hexed knot]

Crashes for me when I pick up the shotgun I think.

Dual heroes works now.

[languid dune]

I got surpringly far in Doom 64 in today's test. Still crashes, but definitely not as early as it used to for me.

[remote hatch]

V-rally 99 jap works fine

[fair stump]

Most of these wrestling games seem to not boot in the same way. I wonder if they'll all be fixed at the same time

[oblique remnant]

For me it crashed after a few seconds but finally into game now

[hexed knot]

yeah, that was the same with the NBA games. They're often just build on the same engine.

[paper orchid]

2 deaths, but a full playthrough!

[hexed knot]

Same.

[round hull]

Fzero x boots but freeze on Nintendo 64 logo

[brisk drum]

I’m betting yes

Thanks for confirming

On the list it goes

[remote hatch]

Yeah , you are right

[paper orchid]

Alright, all cutscenes play through fine too

[orchid nimbus]

My steaks are legendary

[paper orchid]

Checking 3-3 again to see if that weirdness comes up

[zinc dew]

Try getting into a match though

[manic basin]

Vivid Dolls boots to a test menu.... which is hilarious. But more Aleck games seem to be working in general.

[hallow sedge]

I'm getting a black screen in Bomberman 64 (USA), is that normal?

[orchid nimbus]

Feds showed up

[hollow rune]

You rock @hexed knot

[paper orchid]

OK yeah, I'm pretty certain this is a floating point issue

[hexed knot]

Yep, that game is a No Boot currently.

[zinc dew]

Check the testing list in the pins

[paper orchid]

Time to capture video

[hollow rune]

I am going to try to knock some out too

[fair stump]

Ran through a bunch of random no boots and mostly no changes there

Didn't mark them down so I'm useless

[zealous hull]

I've searched the thread and couldn't find it, but where would one acquire the DK64 No ExPack Patch?

[hexed knot]

Haha I'm doing that right now, but marking them down

[manic basin]

Pinned comment has a link to Vampier's website, which has the patch.

[cold pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/freeze-cop-police-gif-5336671

[dusty tusk]

If you mash A you cna get in and skate on Tony Hawk 3

[remote hatch]

AeroGauge looks better

[paper orchid]

Checking this against the real N64 in a moment, but Airan's head/shoulders look like she's suffering from floating point error

[manic basin]

If your'e using the newest database, you don't need to worry about the cic, I believe.

[zealous hull]

Man, everything needed for the core really is there, huh?

[manic basin]

Yep!

@orchid nimbus is a steak chomping hero.

[hexed knot]

No boot, marked.

[native mesa]

The Zeldas will work when SRAM is implemented

[weary palm]

Let's see... I know of Timber, Pipsy, T.T, Drumstick, Bumper, Krunch and... Tiptup?

[daring meteor]

Just OOT

[dusty tusk]

DKR has sound now

[daring meteor]

Majora is Flash

[zinc dew]

40 Winks fully playable!

[hollow rune]

Triangles are gone on Wave Race attract mode

[remote hatch]

In game too 😋

[native mesa]

OOT still has a lot of graphical issues though

[zinc dew]

One of the transparencies modes got fixed

[hexed knot]

Knockout Kings 2k from No Boot to Playable

[hollow rune]

Still crash?

[hexed knot]

name of game accurate.

[night saddle]

Shiren 2 still not working 😢

[remote hatch]

Without delay yes

[night saddle]

so many other things are running great though. man mario kart is running fast with data cache, surprisingly playable in my capture window at that speed

[orchid nimbus]

Come and get it!

[paper orchid]

OK yup, my cart does have my save on it still

[weary palm]

About the DK64 patch, you don't need to set the CIC to 6105 manually if You use the new N64-database.txt

[paper orchid]

Oh wow

[paper orchid]

Real N64 does this too, so "yes it's an FPU issue, no it's not the core"

Good job placing all of that 3D geometry so far away from the origin Treasure

[weary palm]

pointing fingers

[dusty tusk]

How new is the database update? Would the script download it

[weary palm]

It's a few hours old 🙂

[dusty tusk]

Nice I'll grab it then

F zero gets to the n64 logo now

[brisk drum]

Tetris magical challenge sadly no change

[weary palm]

I think the current update_N64 script only download a db if one isn't present.

[paper orchid]

For the spreadsheet, is only one person maintaning it or can/should I request access to edit?

[weary palm]

you can request

[zinc dew]

Please request access

[hexed knot]

Yeah, all help appreciated.

[paper orchid]

Alright, requesting, will update the S&P entry once I have access

[hexed knot]

Nightmare Creatures from No Boot to Playable in Nightmare mode

[hollow rune]

What do you mean exactly by delay? I got to Drake Lake with Data Cache and it froze. I also saw the triangles heavy there at some points

[hexed knot]

haha we're at the same part of the list I guess.

[chrome quest]

Just got in, but I see you've added mine already. Thank you!

[remote hatch]

Fighters Destiny

[hexed knot]

Certainly won't be the last build!

[paper orchid]

In the meantime I'm gonna make me some ribs :9

[remote hatch]

Set data cache delay to 11

[brisk drum]

The sequel works as well

[brisk drum]

For what game ?

[remote hatch]

Wave Race , Super Mario 64

[hexed knot]

confirmed, nice!

[chrome quest]

Before I make a change as you're here @hexed knot, anything in particular to make edits to the sheet. Notes to add etc. Or just edit the lines directly?

[brisk drum]

Kobe Bryant court side now boots and plays like the real thing

If someone wants add that to the list

RIP BLACK MAMBA

[hexed knot]

Are you asking how best to edit the sheet? Or how to edit it at all?

[chrome quest]

How best too. I have edit access.

[hexed knot]

Formatting of the Status/Build/Tester/Error columns should probably be retained, I usually just copy/paste from other lines myself. Notes is up to you, but the more detail the better usually.

[zealous hull]

Wow. Gotta say. Texture filtering off in MM looks really janky.

[fair stump]

So many updates to the spreadsheet for the new build, nicely done everyone

[hexed knot]

(This said, I'm not the owner, haha, I'm just trying to keep it neat and tidy)

[half mason]

does anyone know if the core requires dual ram or can it run on single

[zealous hull]

You're good with single, no dual required.

[paper orchid]

@chrome quest You're editing the S&P entry right now?

I have a couple extra notes if you want to add to those

[fair stump]

Pokemon stadium 2 minigames are nice and playable

[zinc dew]

Airboarder 64 works pretty flawlessly

[night saddle]

tried the USA one and it froze just after a practice race started. does jp version not have this issue? any changes to osd settings i should try?

[chrome quest]

Could do, but feel free to request access yourself to be the better primary source! I only played to 2nd level

[paper orchid]

Yup, did request it, just waiting lol

I did a full playthrough, game is beatable without crashing

[hollow rune]

Bad news

[remote hatch]

Yeah , jap works better

[paper orchid]

Of note I want to make sure to point out 3-3's weirdness in a cutscene and that it is not the core to avoid a red herring situation lol

[hollow rune]

I got further in Aydin Chronicles

[zenith orchid]

@wanton sun excellent progress! I guess all MK64 really needs now is fog and dithering, and then its basically complete right?

[native mesa]

And AA and dedither and gamma correction etc etc

[zenith orchid]

I thought AA will be after TLB

[native mesa]

And horizontal interpolation if you count that

[chrome quest]

Minor PIF note. I recall others noting NTSC PIF would boot most anything, the PAL PIF fails to load many things (Like Namco Museum).
Found a case of NTSC PIF failure, can't load the PAL Pokémon SNAP

[native mesa]

Maybe but it's not really complete without it is it?

[dusty tusk]

If you're willing to mash A through the darkness I'm pretty sure all Tony hawk games go in game now

[zenith orchid]

for his purposes probably it is

[zenith orchid]

nice! that's next on my list!

[quaint rune]

@sterile river majora mask is playable now.

[night saddle]

cool i'll give it a shot, thanks

[dusty tusk]

I've had good luck with aleck64 so far. I think that one's more universal, I could be wrong though

[hollow rune]

I did not realize Aydin Chronicles was a Brian 64-like

[zenith orchid]

man wouldn't it be cool if there were some form of MSU1 for N64. For complete audio soundtracks in the THPS games

[quaint rune]

There is actually

[dusty tusk]

Also, real quick is it possible to set stick dead zone. My controller is drifting like crazy

[paper orchid]

What do you mean, the THPS soundtrack on the N64 is perfect

All 30 combined seconds of it

[quaint rune]

It’s called PlayStation 🥁

[dusty tusk]

Dreamcast versions are essentially the definitive versions for 60fps and full soundtrack

[hexed knot]

Supercross 2K no boot to Playable.

[covert bough]

is everyone testing with the no intro rom set?

[zenith orchid]

not for THPS3 though

[dusty tusk]

Yeah, clearly lol

First 2.

[mild ether]

Gives options for Stage Select on main menu plus Enemy Select to fight any enemy in the game repeatedly.

First time Ghidra work.

[orchid nimbus]

Does excitebike work?

[hexed knot]

No, nothing past the N logo.

[hollow rune]

Seeing Majora's Mask work is wild!

[sterile river]

love you

[remote hatch]

Last Legion UX jap works

[dusty tusk]

Lol, if you just add extra mappings of C up and C right to the up and right face buttons of your controller, Tony Hawk plays just like playstation

[hexed knot]

Tony Hawk 1? I wasn't able to get that to boot.

Only able to get 3 to get into game.

[dusty tusk]

Got 2 and 3 to work

Assumed 1 would work now, but maybe not

[hexed knot]

Hm, I'll retry 2 then. Just got it to boot with a black screen (game audio was still there)

[dusty tusk]

Yeah black screen, but if you press a you cna get through it

[zenith orchid]

what a coincidence. I think thps1 was also the last of the 4 to be able to go in have on PSX core

[dusty tusk]

For 2. I think 1 is still busted trying it again

Yeah, still busted

[hexed knot]

Ah, you're right, 2 does get through, just take a bit.

[paper orchid]

Got my notes in

[nova grotto]

Mischief makers still freezing

[paper orchid]

I could try to check out Bangai-O but it'll be much later

[warped patrol]

Cache Delay set to 8 lets you play the DK64 rap, and intro cut scenes

[paper orchid]

I'm just glad I could contribute to at least one game and not at all use it as an excuse to play through the game lol

[zenith orchid]

hmm, what if the PSX GTE could be recreated in RDP microcode. could it be possible to make a PSX 64 😂

[dusty tusk]

Using the updated database txt I was able to get into the demo kiosk version of dk64

No modifications needed

[native mesa]

What is this 3d printed screen?

[warped patrol]

https://www.laserbear.net/products/mini-lcd-monitor-complete

[stone pilot]

this cache delay thing is fascinating - it's like the core is a radio that has to be tuned to your game's station

[dusty tusk]

It's no fzero X, but Wipeout 64 seems to work pretty good

[native mesa]

An LED panel in that form factor would be really cool

[paper orchid]

Oh yeah, it's the one iPad display

2048x1536 IIRC?

[nova grotto]

animal forest doesn't freeze like before

[manic basin]

My favorite error message so far.
"Sorry. Intedned."

[hexed knot]

Alright, not nearly completely updated for this build, but I went through quite a few no boots and boots, and updated what I could.
The difference in these two screens are this morning, and now.

[daring meteor]

So close to Half

Practically all playable should be issues hahaha

[paper orchid]

Speaking of, what's the threshold for a game going from "playable" to "issues"?

[nova grotto]

Now there's audio in DK Racing

[manic basin]

If it could save I'd be playing it for real. It's so good (apart from the missing menu graphics).

[daring meteor]

IMO if people start getting into that-

Playable = iQue F Zero, Zelda OOT, Glover

[hexed knot]

We should probably start using those two fields eventually, but they've been unused up until now.

[daring meteor]

Issues = Mario Kart 64, Banjo, Dr Mario, etc

[dusty tusk]

Speed runners hate this one trick

[hexed knot]

I think we probably need a description for what the difference is between Playable and Issues before we start actually using those tags though.

[paper orchid]

Right, I'll refrain from moving S&P then

[mild ether]

Not all the features are in the core yet so can't really have no issues yet. Not without the Vaseline screen effects.

[daring meteor]

You wanted to move S&P to where?

[paper orchid]

I completed it without any crashing (I died twice, but that's a different kind of issue lmao)

[mild ether]

Even if it sucks.

[quaint rune]

Isn’t that what the texture filtering was supposed to be ? Is there supposed to be more blur ?

[night saddle]

same issues with that one on my end, freezes soon after race starts even with data cache. gonna keep trying this one in the future though, it looks neat!

[daring meteor]

Try turning off Filtering, it will show you

[mild ether]

Supposed to have an extra layer of blur.

[inner garden]

tried latest core. Like before I beat a grand prix and it froze at the win screen transition

[pseudo agate]

There is more blur to come

[inner garden]

graphics way nicer

[spare meadow]

Only getting a black screen. Do i need to change the CIC value?

[nova grotto]

check ur dm

[native mesa]

Texture filtering is just that. There's also Anti-aliasing which cleans up the edges on models, then there's dithering that removes the color banding from filtered textures for more perceived colors, then there's dedither filter that smooths out the dither effect so you don't see checkerboard patterns then there is hardware level blur that is applied on top of all of that. Also gamma correction which normalizes gamma

[hollow rune]

We need a clear definition. I want to distinguish between the two as well

[quaint rune]

I had no idea it went that deep

[mild ether]

The final result is the pure ass picture of the original hardware.

[native mesa]

True

I'll be turning most of those off myself

[dusty tusk]

I would qualify mashing A to get in game as barely playable

[paper orchid]

Wonder if taking an approach similar to e.g. PCSX2, Dolphin would be useful

[inner garden]

my up and down do not seem to be tilting me on wave race

[mild ether]

Yeah, I like it the way it is.

[zealous hull]

I got Super Mario Star Road to boot up. 😅 Unfortunately it crashes the same place it would crash in vanilla. But it's still cool to see.

[native mesa]

6105

[zealous hull]

Kinda wish there was a no-face patch for Kaze hacks. lol

[misty inlet]

Do you still need to download the Mister test build in addition to the N64 core to test this out?

[mild ether]

What is the kaze hacks?

[native mesa]

60fps mario

[paper orchid]

Kaze Emanuar, he basically rewrote SM64 at this point

[mild ether]

Is that around online? Like easy to find rom?

[paper orchid]

The Mario of Theseus

[hearty python]

I am exited to see AA and what impact it has on the FPS. I remember that AA and 2xAA and 4xAA has slow down the PFS on PC Games.

[zealous hull]

Yeah, alongside a lot of other interesting/fun projects built around Mario 64. Essentially a very prolific romhacker.

[mild ether]

Let me take a look.

[native mesa]

It's pretty significant if you disable it on original hardware

[paper orchid]

I don't remember if all of his hacks have the face, like he did Only Up 64 IIRC but I don't remember if that boots straight into gameplay or otherwise

[mild ether]

Probably can make a patch quick.

[native mesa]

There's a GitHub where someone is compiling all kaze enhancements for the original game

[zealous hull]

You're kind, the original hack I mentioned (Star Road) wasn't even one of Kaze's works. It was more just me thinking out loud.

[dusty tusk]

That's the fun thing about decompilations, sure it leads to ports, but it also allows further optimization for original hardware too

[mild ether]

I will look.

[steady basalt]

We did it.

[paper orchid]

me, a little gremlin, about to ruin the day

[chilly ember]

Is that the unfinished translation?

[orchid nimbus]

HELL

[dusty tusk]

Nah, they have English typing

[paper orchid]

Debt is indeed hell

[dusty tusk]

I can semi read Japanese at a pre preschool level

I'd prefer Kanji to all this kana though, oof

[elfin relic]

welcome to hell town

[paper orchid]

I'm the exact opposite, but I really need to study my kanji more

[elfin relic]

population, kana

[dusty tusk]

KKLC graded readers are decent for Kanji study

[elfin relic]

I'm a big proponent of wanikani, but maybe it's not for everyone

[dusty tusk]

I find SRS to get too time intensive. Especially at larger quantities of cards

[elfin relic]

you just have to do less cards

[dusty tusk]

Thank God they add spaces for the kana at least. This would be way harder

[paper orchid]

I used to study during my previous job, but now I have a real software dev job and not a helpdesk job

[dusty tusk]

There's a surprising amount of Japanese stuff in New Zealand so I'm getting the itch again

[paper orchid]

I'm so behind on kanji and really need to work on vocab, but I just don't have easily-available time

[elfin relic]

granted I tend to avoid kana-only games, but I dunno if I've met one without spaces yet

gets really dang hard to differentiate between parts of a sentence without kanji or spaces

[native mesa]

Why is google such shit these days?

[dusty tusk]

Genki and to tobira workbooks are fully available online now.
https://sethclydesdale.github.io/genki-study-resources/lessons-3rd/

[mild ether]

@zealous hull

[zealous hull]

Wow. That was fast.

[paper orchid]

Wait fully?

[elfin relic]

all the exercises are available

[mild ether]

works.

[paper orchid]

I have the textbooks but hmm

This might be easier

I also need to get back into using Lingodeer

[elfin relic]

that site is very nice for doing the exercises, I'm glad to see they're still working on it

[hollow rune]

Super Bowling is playable

[zealous hull]

Genuinely, thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to do that.

[mild ether]

You're welcome.

You can remove the face from any of the SM64 by searching for 14 00 00 78 in hex and replacing it with 14 00 02 0C .

[zealous hull]

Interesting! I think I'll try to edit another hack that I'm wanting to try out. Thanks!

[mild ether]

It's the only occurrence of that in hex so its easy.

[orchid nimbus]

Is dr Mario now without glitches?

[mild ether]

mostly. its a lot better.

[languid dune]

The best development of the day!

[hollow rune]

Guess the game

[stone pilot]

I'm not sure if the original N64 version is this way too, but: I tried e+ on the GameCube, and they specifically ask how good you are with kanji. I said "not really at all", and it started with nearly no kanji but then gradually brought in kanji for words that appeared repeatedly. It was actually really cool

[desert crow]

shaggy's head there

[languid dune]

Except for Drake Lake! You can still have fun with water triangles there!

[safe robin]

I have a regression in Mario kart 64. Since today's update the Level Choco Mountain is like super white. Before it was more dark brown. But I remember this level had a strong fog so I'm not sure if it's more to original now or less 😅

[dusty tusk]

Yeah pretty sure all that is due to fog inaccuracies. Diddy Kong Racing has it bad in a few places too

[fair stump]

I've seen one game that looked like that but I can't recall which it was

[languid dune]

The lost Earthbound 64 build!

[dusty tusk]

Oh that's neat

[hollow rune]

It is the Scooby Doo game

[fair stump]

Ah I've definitely loaded that up once in the past

[paper orchid]

oh WHAT

I might need to give that a try

[zinc dew]

Ah the core currently runs PAL games at 60hz doesn’t it

[dusty tusk]

Is it possible to have other cores send 50hz when playing pal games?

[zinc dew]

Yeah, it’s an ini setting I believe

[mild ether]

I thought I would eventually start understanding Japanese trying to find stuff on Yahoo auctions jp but nope I only got even more confused by it over time. No real method to the madness I could find.

[zinc dew]

@dusty tusk

; 9 - 1920x1080@50
video_mode=9

Try that

[cerulean elk]

Twas a challenge but thanks to the awesome help and devilish looks of @manic basin I managed to get the video for tomorrow updated

[mild ether]

There will be a new core tomorrow though.

[manic basin]

I am definitely demonic in appearance.

[undone oak]

Is anyone playing now fancies trying MRC on the latest core?

[nova grotto]

Good News new game working , vigilante 8

[undone oak]

Previous core the video output was squished once in-game. Menus etc were fine

[nova grotto]

did you discover something else ?

Where's the spreadsheet ?

ty\

[zinc dew]

Centre Court Tennis (PAL) works!

[cerulean elk]

Most Handsom Man in MiSTer

[fair stump]

50% USA playable

[manic basin]

Handsy. According to the police report, anyway.

[cerulean elk]

best grabber west of the Mississippi

[drowsy lantern]

Is wave race 64 more stable (with default cache) on this build?

[cerulean elk]

looking good!

[manic basin]

Well, you walk without rhythm and....

[manic basin]

I haven't had any cache issues, but it seems more stable in general to me, yes.

[cerulean elk]

wow vid for tomorrow came in at 32 minutes. Short form core doc 😆

[desert crow]

make sure you take care of Handsome Andy when all the n64 checks come rolling in

[stone pilot]

for everyone playing a variety of games, let me also recommend Wave Race 64 (JP)

[manic basin]

Yeah, it's damned solid now.

[languid dune]

Okay, who's the wiseguy who said that Mortal Kombat 4 isn't fun in the Google doc!? Not cool!

[cerulean elk]

oh he's getting a christmas gift from me

[stone pilot]

it has a rumble pak edition for when that gets added, and you get to hear the announcer say "wercome too DORRFIN PARRRRK"

[zealous hull]

It's as fun as the rest of the series. 😏

[thick terrace]

I just tried the japanese vrally and it crashed in the same place.

[languid dune]

So another copy of Virtual Hydlide right!?

No good deed goes unpunished after all.

[cerulean elk]

Hydlide/Ouest Combo pack

and a fine bottle of Colt 45

[orchid nimbus]

Endorfine park!!

[languid dune]

Maximum powerrrrr!

[weary palm]

Carmageddon

[orchid nimbus]

So will we still have our first working game by Xmas?

[modest helm]

No! New Year’s 🙂

[orchid nimbus]

Looking forward to it

[chrome quest]

Playable to completion (well, almost. Forces a save as you exit the final course, and hits a save file error screen that asks you to reset)

[modest helm]

Tbh it feels like every game will boot by Christmas

[zinc dew]

Hey now, Robert specifically said we might get a playable game by Christmas. Please let’s not be unreasonable.

[covert bough]

every time a game boots at all it's christmas

[thick terrace]

superman still boots

[covert bough]

just an absolute rush of adrenaline

[zinc dew]

The version of Quest 64 I’m playing is the French Vanilla patch lol

[modest helm]

I think he meant the first 64DD game will boot by XMas

[mild ether]

We should see in game footage any day now.

[brisk drum]

We’ll have DD in a couple of weeks

First one to finish daikatana wins the core

[mild ether]

Someone got sm64 DD working with a cart conversion patch.

[brisk drum]

Oh yeah I remember that

Mario paint 64DD when?

[mild ether]

Not sure what the details are on the cart conversion. It's interesting.

[covert bough]

wait the disk drive came out in japan? always thought it was one of those prototype only things

[cerulean elk]

Yep. It’ll just be a totally diff console core from Robert 🤣

[brisk drum]

Nope , sold worse than the virtual boy

[orchid nimbus]

Next up NDS

[mild ether]

Yeah, they sold a whole 15,000 of them.

[brisk drum]

I hope Robert takes a nice long vacation after this and comes back with some super bonker ideas

[orchid nimbus]

CDi

[brisk drum]

3DO

DS!

[orchid nimbus]

PONG

[brisk drum]

Honestly he could work on an N-gage core and I would be stoked

[zealous hull]

I know he hasn't expressed any interest in it--and I get it--but I wish somebody would be willing to add in link cable/transfer cable support for the GBA core. 🙂

[covert bough]

good lord look at those prices

[ocean lily]

I have no interest holding my MiSTer like a taco

[orchid nimbus]

We already have 2 cores running at the same time!

[cerulean elk]

Someone mail him a 3DO

[ocean lily]

sheesh; seems like just 5 years ago you could get one for like $400

[brisk drum]

Lol you would be the dude to talk to

[zealous hull]

True. But I'd love to link to OG hardware. Plus I keep my Gamecube and MiSTer on the same shelf and it would be rad to get to connect them together.

[marble cargo]

Small nitpick with the compatibility chart.

Puyo Puyo Sun 64 does boot, it's just not playable because it has a habit of freezing.

[ocean lily]

at least they don't have a separate AC adapter to lose

[brisk drum]

Lol same between my pico modded cube and mister I got enough games to last a lifetime

[hollow rune]

Scooby Doo. You can see shaggy

[zinc dew]

How do I save in Quest 64 again lol

[desert crow]

Super Smash Bros iQue version if anyone wants to play that

[thorny marten]

Majoras mask gets in game now

[drowsy lantern]

Hmmmm nope Wave Race 64 still crashes with default cache

[zinc dew]

Oh right controller pak is needed for Quest 64

[stone pilot]

You don't save it. It saves you

[fiery grove]

PS2 core would be imposible on MiSTer
Robert after vacation: Hold my beer

[covert bough]

ps2 on mars tho ?? 👀

NHL blades of steel getting into game now

Nightmare creatures is a textbook example of a Walmart bargain bin classic

Term “bargain bin classic” copyrighted by me circa 2023

[viral portal]

Nightmare Creatures was a treat

[mild ether]

I would donate a 3do to the cause.

[compact depot]

Is OoT running yet?

[viral portal]

I didn't even know it grew legs

[brisk drum]

Playing it now it feels like it was yesterday I dug it out of the Walmart bargain bin and begged my parents to purchase it for me .. read the manual the whole way home .. got home played it and was mildly amused yet frustrated that I couldn’t get a legit 60 dollar game

It was right than and there a bit of my youthful innocence was lost in the ether that is life ..

[viral portal]

I liked the spoken monologue of the main villain between each level on the PSX version. They omitted it for the N64 version.

[brisk drum]

You ever nightmare creatures 2 ?

The psx2x core runs that at 40 to 60 fps

[viral portal]

Nope. At least not yet

[zinc dew]

Goddamn Wave Race 64 is still incredible!

[brisk drum]

Check the psx version on the psx2x core , it’s something

[zinc dew]

Game deserves much more credit. It was INSANE at the time.

[brisk drum]

Put the n64 on the map

Well besides mario 64

[mild ether]

And GoldenEye

Vivid Dolls...

[viral portal]

And banned word 64

[zinc dew]

Quest 64?

[brisk drum]

Monster truck madness shows both a rockstar logo and a Microsoft logo .. kinda crazy seeing those two logos in an n64 game

I didn’t even ask to be given the ability to say it lmao

[brisk drum]

It’s all good .. at least one of us can say it

aww

[brisk drum]

Yeah ! Live stream or it ain’t happen

[zinc dew]

I got confused, I went to load update_all and I thought it was new graphic front end and just kept playing hoping to get the latest Jotego core

[thick terrace]

got into race and raced a bit, then fell off my snowmobile and quit

[cold pollen]

what if he just live streams gameplay video he nicked off the net

[brisk drum]

You ain’t even a patreon..noob

Haha that’s what I got too

Shooting in the dark

[brisk drum]

Hexen is the same way .. turning z draw off allows you to se es one things on hexen so it might work on quake

[zinc dew]

Didn’t work

Thanks though! 🍻

[cerulean elk]

Hexen was the same yeah. That’s ok. Heretic was better

[brisk drum]

Word up

[thick terrace]

what is Vivid Dolls?

[night saddle]

perfect pairing

[manic basin]

A gross 'adult' game for bars.

It's so silly

[mild ether]

It's one of the most amazing games to ever grace the N64 hardware.

Definitely the number one Qix clone on the hardware.

[cold pollen]

well look at Judgy McJudgerson here

[mild ether]

I would say best on MiSTer but Gals Panic SS is definitely a better Qix clone on the Saturn core.

[manic basin]

Even the Aleck loading sound is .... well, what it is.

Went into N64 Smash thinking it played like any modern Smash. It did not go well for me.

"Why the hell are all the C buttons jumping?" Oh, because they are all jump.... me only ever owning 3 games on N64 is very apparent.

[zinc dew]

Playing Wave Race 64 on real hardware and the framerate is definitely better.

I’ll play through the whole Normal championship again

[manic basin]

Shhhh....that's probably why I'm winning!

[worldly quartz]

so do saves work on mario 64? Do I have to do something other than enable autosave/manually saving to use it?

It's not saving for me

[chilly ember]

Sounds like database isn't loading so it's maybe not choosing right save type

[cerulean elk]

Both leave the same flavor in your mouth

[thick terrace]

Madden 99 playable. Boots can select a game and start and play. I played a few downs then reset and am currently watching the AI play itself,

madden 99

[cold pollen]

I've found it plays quite similar

[dusty tusk]

Many disc drive games have cartridge conversions luckily

[manic basin]

I expected specials on C over jump

But they're all jump.

You get a jump. Everyone gets a jump.

I think it's the mental map of 'stick.' I can't wait for my real controller to get here. I can't adjust.... playing 'c up to go forward' games just won't stick for me. Hehe.

Wednesday if tracking is to be believed.

[mild ether]

FAVRE!

[zinc dew]

@manic basin the difference might be real minuscule if at all.

In Wave Race 64

[manic basin]

In speed? That's great to read!

[zinc dew]

might be CRT vs HDMI

Not the core

[manic basin]

Wow

[zinc dew]

Yeah I’m going between the two and I don’t have a frame counter on my CRT but it feels faster but it looks the same perf wise lol.

So I’ll chalk that up to CRT + wired controller against HDMI + NSO N64 Bluetooth controller.

I didn’t think I’d tell the difference but I sure did lmao.

oh god I need to hook my MiSTer up to a CRT now do I???

[manic basin]

Sorry. Them's the rules.

[limber willow]

The controller makes a big difference for Gen5 and older games.
Even my partner can tell the difference between a Playstation Classic controller vs a Dualshock 4 in terms of input lag.

[zinc dew]

[hearty oar]

NSO controller is probably pretty laggy, Nintendo Switch controllers aren't great for that

[ripe prism]

Mario feels good to me with the n64

Punchout too

[cold pollen]

Eh why?

[manic basin]

Because I have it mapped to stick

It's nothing wrong with the game.

It's my mental map. Stick is smash moves in my brain. But until I get a proper controller....

[cold pollen]

oh, interesting, I didn't know you could do that

so like you can map up special to up stick?

[limber willow]

I'm used to SM64 decompilation on the OG Xbox at 60fps/480p on CRT now, so even the real N64 hardware doesn't feel right to me.

[manic basin]

No, I've mapped my c buttons to right stick. So like, for Smash specifically I could remap to make X/B jump and it would all 'work' in my brain. But for most games, just because I'm using an Xbox style controller, I keep C mapped t stick.

[manic basin]

Decomps on OG Xbox are AMAZING.

[cold pollen]

Oh I got you

[manic basin]

The N64 controller really is a unique beast and nothing is quite like it.

Again, can't wait for mine to show up!

[cold pollen]

Well yeah you'd just map C buttons to X and B or your choice, as you said

but that would be specific to that game

[trim seal]

Might be finally time to play all the way through Kvetch 64

even the alphabet boys showed up

[zenith orchid]

@orchid nimbus hey question, when the most recent N64 core no longer requires an unstable mister build, will your script keep the main build?

[orchid nimbus]

no

it will keep on updating

see the script itself

it has instructions on how to turn it off

[zenith orchid]

ok

[trim seal]

Starting to think we need a pair of "Mister Stable" and "Mister Unstable" scripts just to be completely explicit about it.

[orchid nimbus]

or better 2 different scripts

update mister_unstable_main.sh

[zenith orchid]

couldn't the logic just put more weight on which mister build is more recent? so if the stable build is most recent it'll keep the stable?

[trim seal]

.....didn't I just say that? Maybe not clearly :p

Most recent stable won't necessarly keep all the changes in unstable though, right?

[fiery grove]

ouch

haha

then i'll try it

[orchid nimbus]

@fiery grove you're not the only one who has said it

[fiery grove]

if something's wrong i can always get back to stable using only the MiSTer file?

[carmine kettle]

N64 datebases is not update

[orchid nimbus]

but to be honest there should be 2 different scripts

@fiery grove you won't notice a difference

[thick terrace]

hydro thunder rocks! finished 2 races spreadsheet says it boots, but it's fully playable. I got 7th place twice!

[orchid nimbus]

@carmine kettle it doesn't auto update

[carmine kettle]

i need to manually input the correct number for Mario Kart 64 Amped UP

[orchid nimbus]

@carmine kettle that's a different issue - entry might be missing

[fiery grove]

i'll use the script without worries then

😛

[carmine kettle]

gotcha

[orchid nimbus]

this is release 2 of the database - it's still WIP as well

[carmine kettle]

affirmative

[fiery grove]

can't wait to get home and play F-Zero X iQue

[thick terrace]

what's that?

[orchid nimbus]

going to work on a script to update the N64-romdatabase as well

[orchid nimbus]

Chinese IQue stuff

that was a chinese N64 clone

[manic basin]

Chinese.

Right.

Hehe

[orchid nimbus]

sorry was distracted

[manic basin]

It's amazing how well the iQue stuff seems to be working.

[thick terrace]

never heard of iQue

Majora's Mask is like: I'm not Ocarina of Time, but I hope you have time for ocarinas....because you're gonna have a lot of ocarinas.

[restive cove]

[orchid nimbus]

https://youtu.be/7wxknUqIPsU

[restive cove]

yep

lol

same with me mjm

the only ones not working is zelda 1 n64 bomberman 1 and 2 and super mario 64

have you looked at star wars shadow of the empire n64 game for me it does garbage on the screen twice like it's trying boot data

that data cache and force wb data gives me some interesting results from game to game

oh and winback game is now fully playable with minor gfx issues simiar to waverace with water and the sky

to Vampier are you making more patches for games?

also how did you get those long numbers for each games?

n64 database txt file

[tidal glade]

daikatana it's running 😄

[restive cove]

really I played on it pc windows 7 pro x64 I love it minus some once in a while crashes

[manic basin]

We're really owed an apology on that one. That running is basically a bug. </s>

[restive cove]

Daikatana

[thick terrace]

ok I found iQue stuff. Fzero plays but I can't see the tracks

[manic basin]

Yep, known. Vampier posted it further up the thread... but at least it runs!

[thick terrace]

technically playable I guess if you don't mind crashing for flying off the invisible tracks, lol.

[manic basin]

Given how bad I steer, it's basically the same experience. Hehe.

[cerulean elk]

@orchid nimbus repost. This channel needs more steak

[hexed knot]

Yeah, been going over some Boots games with older builds to bump that number up.

[restive cove]

also banjo kazooie and armen sarges heros 1 works perfect for me

but banjo tooie doesn't work

f zero wont boot for me

[orchid nimbus]

yet

[hexed knot]

Scope out the Spreadsheet, we've got a bunch of games mapped out, see if anything in there doesn't match your experience. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H4KYg0gsOWGayioXKSETtlM7d7g3Tk4w0QXqtXvugG8/edit?usp=drivesdk

[orchid nimbus]

Eh-who crossed out #18?

[thick terrace]

madden 99 is playable now

and hydro thinder

[orchid nimbus]

fixed

[hexed knot]

I noticed that's the non-Rev 1 version of BK. We can probably just remove that line if it's not the one we want to test.

[orchid nimbus]

Kirby makes me happy 🙂

HAL Lab always was Nintendo and helped design the OS nad Hardware

so they always were a cut above the rest

other than Big N themselves

[cerulean elk]

Kirby 64 is just such a charming game you can’t help but be happy when you play it

[orchid nimbus]

music is good

I know it's playing in the background

you can hear the sound effects etc.

so close

[cold pollen]

Until you hit the brutal difficulty

[hexed knot]

Updated 120 records today. I probably should have done something more productive with my day... eh.

[cerulean elk]

Sorry was yelling at my neighbor. Constantly comes up and says our 24 pound corgi is too loud. We were disturbing their dinner because she jumped off the couch to the floor. Words were had 🤣 I was not nice VGE

[dusty tusk]

Did he leave a comment down below to let you know what he thought though?

[cerulean elk]

No I left the comment “well what do you want me to do. You live in the city”…to which he responded “well she moves too loudly”…maybe I said “well what do you want me to do? Leave her in her kennel forever? Or should I just go out back and kill her so you are happy”….oops 🤷🏻‍♂️

[marble cargo]

Hey remember that one shard in Kirby 64 where you needed to use Stone + Bomb to blow up a wall, but neither power is in that level, and you needed to carry that power deep into the level without losing it, and the power is unwieldy as hell?

Kirby 64 is not a brutally punishing game, but there are some parts that are kind of devious.

[cerulean elk]

Maximum replayability

[dusty tusk]

I remember checking out a Kirby 64 guide from a library once. Didn't have the game nor an N64, I was just fascinated by the art and creatures

The end boss is creepy af

[marble cargo]

I remember that specific shard where you needed Cutter + Stone, and you needed to transform into Rick to climb up the wall.

Unless you already played Kirby's Dreamland 3 and knew Rick could climb up walls, the game never tells you that.

[fallen sparrow]

Watch VampierMSX with me on Twitch! https://www.twitch.tv/vampiermsx?sr=a

I can't comment, because I'm not phone verified on Twitch

[orchid nimbus]

❤️

[dusty tusk]

Waiting for the mad lad that'll eventually get the Pokémon Snap print kiosk to work

[cerulean elk]

Why didn’t I know you do twitch?

[brisk drum]

Damn this tittle screen hits just right rn ..

[inner garden]

why does Mario’s face crash the game?

[kind nimbus]

Can't load any games with today's version, weird.

They just all say E00, black screen

[fallen sparrow]

I just told you

[thick terrace]

Why would anybody play monopoly on the N64?

[manic basin]

Fixed that for you.

[cold pollen]

I mean have you seen it

[fallen sparrow]

Because they're worth it

[thick terrace]

somebody actually approved the idea and paid to have it made

[fallen sparrow]

It sells okayish as well

But it's no wheel of fortune

[manic basin]

I think a lot of those games were to sell the idea to nans and grans that they should get one for their house and get a few games 'for them.' It feels very marketing centric.

[manic basin]

One's a board used to summon the most vile evil and terrible curses imaginable, inviting unholy wrath and untold suffering upon any house into which it is brought. The other is a Ouija board.

[thick terrace]

I like Hydro Thunder better

[fallen sparrow]

Hydro Monopoly is where it's at

[thick terrace]

What is this?

[hexed knot]

Found a translation of Animal Forest

[inner garden]

is there a Megaman on Nintendo 64? https://youtu.be/l5odcafWZsI?si=LlWJUDfb4j6l2FXF

[thick terrace]

yes, but it doesn't play yet

[cerulean elk]

TomNookIcide

[hexed knot]

Mega Man 64 should be playable with minor graphical glitches, according to the spreadsheet.

[thick terrace]

It says "Let's go! " and then black screen

[brisk drum]

Yeah Megaman 64 is a no go for me as well

[thick terrace]

I just tried it again and it went past the black screen...

[brisk drum]

Hercules is just marvelous though .

Who needs Zelda

[hexed knot]

Loading just fine for me...

[brisk drum]

I shall take a break from my Hercules adventuring to test once more

https://tenor.com/view/shit-shiet-the-wire-shiiiit-shiiiieeeeet-gif-17234128

[thick terrace]

I had it crash twice today on the "here we go!" but just now it loaded. Maybe it needed resetting

[brisk drum]

It just loaded up

[hexed knot]

data cache on?

[native mesa]

So of the 300+ N64 games there are maybe like 30 good ones right?

[thick terrace]

There are lots of good ones.

[orchid nimbus]

I hardly stream

[native mesa]

I'd say 30 is lots

That's 10 percent

[orchid nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/mario-luigi-jojo-animation-gif-17320283

board

[manic basin]

Hehehe

[brisk drum]

Yep

[languid dune]

Seriously, it's one of the best racing games ever made.

[thick terrace]

I guess Asteroids works now...

[cold pollen]

That's The Princess Bride

https://tenor.com/view/giant-gif-6073398

[manic basin]

Polaris: You Wish You Were Playing WaveRace

[thick terrace]

How come N64 has so many racing games and hardly any space shooters?

[brisk edge]

the answer is shmup devs were making saturn ports probably

[cold pollen]

it has Wipeout, that's both

[brisk edge]

and ps1

[tidal zenith]

N64 honestly, graphics whatever, but game music were all bangers

[deft tree]

At least Rogue Squadron is really good

and Starfox

[brisk edge]

random connection thing I found the other day is that the composer for Star Solider on n64 also worked on the mario party games, all very good soundtracks. Makes sense once you realize he was working at Hudson

[tidal zenith]

007 pause music, wave race main track

SM64

[cold pollen]

Yoshi Story title

[deft tree]

Buck Bumble

[brisk edge]

buck bumble title track is all you need sometimes

if you want shittier but still kind of catchy 90s music, re-volt's menu theme is also there for you

[tidal zenith]

The really put it all into the soundtracks

[brisk edge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxQb9GfG-zY I can't say it's good but it is oddly catchy lol

[tidal zenith]

https://youtu.be/fK0AqKJsGcA?si=oFsjx6-f8p2bzNcy

[hearty oar]

I would have loved to see the n64's awesome 3D capabilities put to use on a polygonal 2D shooter, it was really just Star Soldier right, as far as traditional shooters go

[brisk edge]

i guess there's technically dezaemon 3d

[hearty oar]

bangaioh I guess

[hearty oar]

oh that's cool, shmup editor

[manic basin]

Star Soldier on Aleck is.... something.

(works really well on the core, too)

[brisk edge]

I think that and the regular release are pretty much the same, though the regular version probably has more content

[manic basin]

Oh, didn't even realize there was a home release. Hehe.

[hearty oar]

the built in games in dezaemon look really cool, definitely going to try those at some point

it's like raystorm

[brisk edge]

I didn't realize Dezaemon got officially released, I mixed it up with the DD expansion thing getting leaked at some point, I just assumed that was the only release. If anyone is up for making their own games, certainly would be easy to share your save files from the core

[manic basin]

The home version is certainly easier ... and a bit more fun because of it. Thanks for letting me know!

[dusty tusk]

So close

[thick terrace]

Hot wheels racing is playable. You have to mash buttons at the menus cuz the menus are messed up, but it gets into race and I was able to race.

[thick terrace]

Polaris plays now sorta. Hydro Thunder is better, not as good as waverace, but it's more colorful

[dusty tusk]

Hydro Thunder was like the only non gambling game at chuck e cheese so that's all I played back then

[orchid nimbus]

well that's it - the news paper clipping for today

[manic basin]

Agreed.

[orchid nimbus]

more arcade like

[brisk drum]

Damn she fine

[chilly ember]

She's looking sharp

[orchid nimbus]

a bit rought around the edges

[trim seal]

#nofilter

[storm parrot]

Anyone try Portal 64?

https://github.com/lambertjamesd/portal64

[amber saffron]

Hell yeah more updates

How's Mario 64 looking?

[storm parrot]

Still no eyes today

[amber saffron]

Awww

[storm parrot]

Can't look a gift horse in the mouth

[amber saffron]

Is the first level still very grey?

[wary relic]

I have a problem with ps4 controllers connected via 8bitdo receivers. The digital/analog direction only works for in game menus but not gameplay once the level starts. I have tried Wave Race 64 and Cruis’n World. What can I do to fix this? I have already tried remapping the N64 core controls multiple times. I am on the latest core but I have never had my ps4 controllers work correctly with any on the previous n64 cores yet. They all do the same thing. The in game menus can be controlled but not the actual game play.

[trim seal]

Enjoying the DK rap over here. Visuals are lagging the audio though, like the Banjo intro did before cache.

Actually might be just delayed, not lagging.

Dont' have to mash start any more though.

Holy crap, Daikatana is playable. That's a bug though right?

TLOZ:MM Playable now, albeit missing some textures. That's pretty amazing. Oops all ocarinas.

Kirby 64 blind mode. M.I. goes in game but can't see what you're doing....

Having way too much fun here.

Finished a race in Ridge Racer. Few missing road textures. That soundtrack is fire.

The uncalibrated analog range helps compensate for my atrophied reflexes :p

The Taz Express prototype no longer has so many polygons bugging out.

[manic basin]

I test it every update. Nothing yet.

However, if you have an emu/everdrive, I highly recommend playing it even before the core is complete. It's SUPER impressive.

[lament escarp]

But does it have glados?

[manic basin]

It does!

It is a triumph.

Making a note here....

[lament escarp]

Huge success!

[manic basin]

(Just to be very clear, this is NOT the core)

It's pretty obvious, what with the border and all, I just don't want to get anyone's hopes up artificially.

[daring meteor]

Did you check for TLB?

[manic basin]

TLB as in the last build?
