Just got that cheaper Chinese made 2.4 gHz n64 controller someone on here recommended in the last couple of days and it feels alright. Stick, buttons, and dpad feel good. Finish of the controller isn't great, pieces don't exactly match up perfectly well. Played through some AKI wrestling, mario 64, kart, and OOT and it feels right for 30 bucks I'm happy. Edit: this one... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C18XH9HD

did you notice an improvement?
what pal games work now?
that's actually a really cool test, since it is probably pushing the n64 to its limits
Super Smash Bros. intro 60 fps
actually
use this one
last test incoming but so far the ggguy one isn't working
hydrothunder gets ingame but hangs at the results screen after the first race
c'mon lakitu
hurry tf up
no gotta get a grand ol tour
yeah its not working
gonna try gs code injector now
I played several races in Hydro thunder without hanging a couple days ago. must be random
I tried again with only Kaze's mod, it's a bit better but I didn't really feel it was running that fast tbh:
yeah core's not there yet
Looks like the link is stale - File not found
^--- literally me when Link drops dead in the current Majora's Mask runs.
heh
I guess the format of the database changed because autodetect started failing, I tried to get the new db but the link is broken on Vamp's site
link is fine
I just got it
https://youtube.com/watch?v=K5_J-RoZQck&si=0VKnXbiZD2CFxtA- have you seen this mod to optomize the code? There’s a GitHub link but it’s too complicated for me
This project I started isn't terribly far from a release state now.
So here's a bunch of comparison shots between an almost unmodified vanilla SM64, to my modified version, that unlocks the framerate.
For fairness, I've kept anti aliasing enabled, but you can turn it off if you like and make it run even better. This will also support 16:10 and ...
why are you trying to get a dated one
I'm not, that's what the link does
you just get the file its not date stamped
Latest Database: DataBase_20230906.txt right click/save as - then rename to N64-Database.txt This file load is case sensitive!. Put the database in /games/N64
First time I hear about that one, might be worth looking into it
got it, the link at the top of the page is wrong
Til about clarified butter
yeah this one works. space jumping mario!
Damn how, it gets stuck for me at the Eurocom logo
reset
I actually do hope you get inspired and make an EX game for the N64
@orchid nimbus "You can download the file here (updated 2023-09-06) (right-click save as N64-database.txt case sensitive) " link works, but "Latest Database: DataBase_20230906.txt right click/save as - then rename to N64-Database.txt This file load is case sensitive!. Put the database in /games/N64" link points to non-existent file on your site
No dice, it’s ok

you're giving up too easy. i've had the logo freeze too
I'm updating the page as we speak
I can't tell you how many times I watch that as a kid
give me a few - also it should work now
I GOT IT
sup folks?
It seems so obvious in hindsight, but somehow only one person thought of this...

Laylat sounds like a brand name for feminine wipes
@wanton sun htotal should be divisible by 10, I rounded it up and it fixes the problems the core had on VGA output, it might also fix the scaler PAL problems but I'm not sure.
You need some more vasoline for your camera lens? 😄
His camera is set to N64 mode

I want to try this with my ddr3 overclock. Do I also have to apply the patch that removes the intro Mario face screen?
Still, great news to us who play on CRTs
I think so, didn't test without removing the face but there were instances of 14 00 00 78 in hex that I changed to 14 00 02 0C like justz00t said.
I know 🙂 that's why I said that
let's go
Nice! Did you pull request it?
whats that do kasher
Fix wavy lines on VGA output
oh sweet
No, its just 2 lines that I mentioned, but I guess I can do that
Once I saw the PAL bug on myself I knew exactly where this was hahaha
(The wavy lines bug is worse on PAL, because the htotal there isn't divisable by 5)
Here's a patch to apply both kaze's stuff and remove the face if anyone wants to try.
Added this to my n64 database for auto detect:
63f1d8dc2f8f9b24ba2879b633517962 ntsc|cic6102|eeprom512 # Super Mario 64 (60 FPS V2) (No Face)
thank you!!
Just beat a Death Race in F-Zero, hella tight
Destry - if you have scripts for me to add let me know
I'm working on https://vampier.net/N64/ as we speak
What are those codes on the n64-database.txt? I wanted to add some romhacks to my file but I don't know where to get their id code
Md5
Very nice @daring meteor I'll use your builds from now on
Thanks!
If Robert doesn't include it next build that is haha
I'm excited to see how much romhacks are being explored during the development of this core. There wasn't much of that during the PSX core's development
Some of the zelda oot hacks might be working okay. I tried sealed palace yesterday and it was working fine
Only played it for like 20 mins tho
Has anyone tried any banjo kazooie rom hacks?
I hope he will, it's very nice thanks for posting it 🙂
Rom hacks are a bit easier on a cart rather than CD image.
I'm sure it's more of a MiSTer main bug, but I just discovered that if I register my Retro Fighters N64 controller with MiSTer main (mainly so I could set the MENU button), it will cause the joystick control to no longer function properly (only left/right register but not up/down)
Hmmmm....I wonder if that was my issue earlier...but I replaced the gears (temp until my new stick comes in) and it works, so I don't think so...just oddly the exact same behavior. I'll try reproing with your steps. That might be very interesting.
Yeah, the controller test wasn't registering anything on the y axis IIRC. And when I deleted the main controller config it worked again.
I had an odd bug when I first mapped the adaptoid in Menu - it registered the y axis on stick 2 for some reason - out of interest you could run the MiSTer controller test core in Utility and go to advanced and see if that's your issue too.
Automatic patcher for SM64
sed -i 's/\x14\x00\x00\x78/\x14\x00\x02\x0C/g' SM64.z64
interesting... I'll have to check that out
Type this where you replace the end with your rom name
why does it ask me to enter my Bank Details !
Once you get past the basic CRC check the rom is wide open to whatever edits you can squeeze in. The module for N64 on Ghidra is pretty great.
Your copy of sed is very funny
I think controller handling/registration is probably the buggiest area of MiSTer
@mortal apex Heads-up I’m going to delete your post, I apologize but we can’t share roms here
woah sorry I shared the wrong file 😱
Thanks, works fine with PAL and NTSC signals on my 1084 connected to the analog board. I noticed that some games have "squished" output, like Namco Museum and Nightmare Creatures (both the US versions)
No problem whatsoever! Thank you very much for understanding.
And not on the "Normal" build from today?
one moment, let me check
I changed htotal slightly, which affected the refresh rate slightly (Was 60.0124825964, now is 60.0880650682 for NTSC)
Here's the patch, my download folder is such a mess sorry again @zinc dew
edit: removed it cuz it contains too much of the actual rom, sorry.
I didn't feel it myself, but I didn't play it a lot on the core
well it's probably my bad, idk what i'm doing tbh
you are right, the image is the same squish on the normal core
hello all, do i still need to get the unstable mister build to run n64 core?.
Yes
only to use the AutoDetect database
It helps in many games that don't work with defaults
cool thanks 🙏
question does n64 database is mandatory in the future when the core release?
Probably will stay as now
Appreciate you, brother
Kaze's original patch is big, but not that big. I'm thinking the one I made probably contains a lot of the rom, might be wiser to delete it
which vers is the patch for?
I used the USA version from the everdrive pack
the one from htgdb
perfect. Thats what I figured but easier to ask than assume
Unfortunately Mario 64 60 fps doesn't run at 60 fps in real life yet. But maybe someone could make a 40 or 50 fps version.
you can tell when I'm in painting playing a real level
intro might be 60
It does look really smooth so far
like, slower than without the hack?
yes
oh I just noticed the water sound is stuttering
It's EARLY.
this is not a complaint this is just a current state of affairs post
It's not like you guys are using the final core to test these rom hacks.
🤣
like I said not a complaint
Don't mind him, he's the same guy that calls these cores "betas"
What are they then? Not in the main repo?
I always have the core build number/date
unoffical builds?
beta usually is a feature complete build with minimal critical issues, generally used for marketing and public testing
If the n64 core state would be defined in alpha, beta etc. like in game development, the core would still be in alpha, right? Beta would be when all parts are assembled and it's more about debugging, or am I wrong?
Trying to play Super Mario Star Road - Enhanced Console Port yields this result even though I have 8mb selected in the options. (again, consider this state of affairs, not a complaint)
I wonder if we could patch out this check using elite skills
I would say pre-alpha, because it is still missing essential functionality. I might call the saturn core alpha though
Yeah, but deffo alpha at most. Calling it a beta sells a hugely wrong idea.
for sure
Mario Kart 64 amped up showed up eeprom warning at beginning then I hit start and got a white screen hehe
Semantics. To the general public, they are "beta" cores. I will move to test core.
Turned on EEPROM 16 and got this
But to comment here, and on my YouTube is a bit much. It's like I'm doing a disservice to the community over semantics.
it's just glaring to everyone who knows what a beta is, which is a lot of people.. calling it a test core would make sense considering its found in #test-builds
Pixel cherry made a video playing mario kart amped up so I assume it should be working but I never tried it
IT works. Great rom hack
Does anyone know where the N64 database is on the internet so I can manually put in stuff for rom hacks?
@inner garden are you running the mister unstable and have the n64 database?
or do you all rename your roms to match the original games
I am using the n64 update script which to my knowledge grants the database. Autodetect seems to work except for the hacks
but then the timing is wrong....maybe as workaround until proper timings are in. Which exact values did you set?
most of the hacks are not in the database
right so I want to see the database myself
and manually enter
but I'm wondering if it works based on rom file name
if it does, I can simply rename my roms
I think it's the md5 hash?
ok so the actual database would be needed
MD5 of the first 4096 bytes
3970 and 4010. Its a quick workeround that us CRT users will appriciate
Timing is wrong anyway due to using Sync clocks (N64 uses 6.09MHz and not 6.25)
where is this database file
It also automatically downloads or updates if you have the latest update_N64 script
It's a text file in your games/n64 folder
that what i input into the database
ok cool I got it. Just edit that file. Then crc the first 4096 bytes somehow. gtg
thank you
This is fixed in v2.96A

I guess yours is not the patched Mario Kart?
ahh that why not patched
ok did everything let's test
Mario Kart 64 Amped Up 2.96A
best community on Earth
I'm having a nightmare with this core trying to map an 8bit sn30 pro controller. I set the pad up in main mister and when I play shadows of the empire. I can use the stick to turn but it looks like it's also mapped to camera which makes it unplayable.
Anyone experienced this?
wouldn't 3980 for ntsc make sense? 3970 makes it even faster? but i can change that tomorrow if it helps. The absolute values don't matter much for the sync video out, it's an intermediate solution anyway
My only issue with controls is dead zones being too sensitive
Yeah 3980 makes more sense, I set it to 3970 because it was 3975 and it goes either way but its slightly over 60
I've tried a ps4 pad wired with same results. I map the c buttons to the right stick but it's as if 2 sticks are only registering as 1 in the core
It helps both me and others with VGA out
That don't use Scaler for one reason or another
What controllers is everyone using for this??
ok, will do 3980 then
Xbox one for me. I was able to map right stick to c buttons just fine. Left stick drifts a lot for me though.
thank you for finding it, i usually only test with hdmi and vsync adjust 0 currently
I've been seeing an issue where the eye patched SMB 64 doesn't seem to start (just black screen), but if I try loading the non-patched version and then switching back to the patched version it works... anyone know what's going on here?
8bitdo sn30 pro+
Mine is the sf30 pro. So just colour is different.
Switch Pro Controller
It's inheriting settings from the last game run
I'm using a Bluetooth SN30 Pro with a Mayflash MAGIC-S, and my two analog sticks map separately just fine. Left stick == analog stick, right stick == C-buttons. Of course, using an analog stick for C-buttons sucks for many games, so I've also ordered one of these new-fangled wireless "Nintendo Online Switch (NOS) edition" bluetooth controllers to try out.
Is there a way to nuke the settings and start fresh?
It's pretty cool they hacked in the DKR track into MK64. Does it play better in MK64?
depends on the game. E.g. mario party uses 285 lines. Not sure what happens with vsync adjust 0
patched game not being found in database, then cic gets changed after you run the regular game and it finds it.
I'm using vsync 0 all these test cores, no issues
but that's 60hz output?
Deadzone sensitivity would probably be helped alot by playing with the analog adjust MiSTer unstable
vsync 0 over HDMI playing NTSC, and now the PAL games too. No issues.
CRT not happy yet over RGB. Works sometimes (That's with anaolg IO board)
Try the core I posted (Or wait for Robert's next build)
I posted before I get 50hz from the game but 60hz buffered to hdmi. vsync1 = no sync capture card or screen #1096015979055697940 message
Ahh, thanks for the heads up. I had thought that was for direct video only
didn’t have time to play much yet I’m just one of those weirdos that wants to make as many things work as possible
i actually installed the core for the first time today - incredible really how much is working already
PAL games work with vsync_adjust set to zero or one. But setting it to two yields a black screen and my TV can't sync (which never happened before for any other core running at 50hz). The resolution differs between games, i must have picked one with a very low number. So thats probably not it, so maybe the horizontal/vertical porches are not large enough in 50hz mode? Maybe this will be "automatically" fixed if the real timings of the N64 are used?
I tested it on Analog IO hahaha
I've iterated to a switch pro controller too, seems to be the only one i've got that maps ok. using it wired
Screenshot didn't grab the MiSTer UI. That's probably what you expect for vsync 0 maybe. Sorry, think I wasn't understanding correctly
I can confirm that my capture cards is okay with both 50hz and 60hz through HDMI with v-sync adjust 0 and RGB to my CRT with the separate build posted
I patched my SM64 USA rom with the no face ips from the FAQ, it crashes after title screen. What am I doing wrong?
yeah same here. but 60hz output of mister isn't right should be 50hz aswell ?!
I also have a N64 controller with a Adaptoid USB adapter, but I cant get all the buttons working properly with that. so mainly using switch pro
Is it though? I'm not the most technical, but my main setting has always been vsync 0. I get this kind of thing on every core
can anyone help? mario 64 freezes after title screen. latest core and unstable nightly are on my sd card.
thanks in advance!
mhm now you get 49.7hz and output 60hz. What Is Vsync 2 again? I only use 0+1 and 1 is exact output as the core
aha, thank you!
Have you patched your SM64 ROM? Mario’s 3D face is the issue.
You need a no face patch.
i thought the latest build showed his face and eyes
It does. I’m talking about the interactive 3D face right after the title screen.
SM64 can also crash randomly, maybe thats what happened? Setting cache delay to 10 reduces crashes. If it crashes systematically after the title screen I guess the patch wasnt applied correctly.
I think 0 is fine when I intend to play on analog typically. According the help: https://mister-devel.github.io/MkDocs_MiSTer/basics/video/#video_mode
vsync 0: matches the refresh rate of your monitor
vsync 1: makes the video output at exactly the frame rate of the game
vsync 2: makes the video output draw to the screen as fast as possible..... However this is the least compatible mode and it may result in unplayable behavior on some televisions using certain cores.....
@rocky spindle oh thank you. ill look around for the patch. thanks for your time i appreciaet you
Got it. Have you tried out different homebrew? I would love to see the PC Doom ports for N64 working on the core, since Doom64 isn't playable yet.
Doom 64 is playable just ugly
I updated to the newest N64 using update_n64 script and now every game that used to work loads to a black screen.
Any idea how to fix this ?
but then Vsync0 is always outputting 60hz ? thats wrong if you're using PAL content imo. I rarely do but the PSX core synced with vsync1
And very crashy!
Ah, my mistake
you the real MVP thank you very much
I dunno.... Seems fine to me on analog. I may just have poor vision. I've never changed it 😄
I wrote the thing earlier, i'm using v_sync adjust 2 and it works fine with both PAL and NTSC on my Analog TV atleast, tested both Ocarina of time PAL and NTSC and both are running as intended as far as I can see
Download the new N64 Database from the link just above
And @orchid nimbus who is like ultra ||64|| MVP!
vsync_adjust = 0 uses a buffer and forces readout for HDMI at the video_modes frequency. This is not optimal as Mister now has to repeat (or drop frames) occasionally to keep in sync with the core - on the plus side it is compatible with most displays.
vsync_adjust = 1 uses a buffer but syncs readout speed to the original frequency of the core - so you get no dropped/repeated frames (and thus no stutter or hickups in scrolling backgrounds) - this is less compatible as the hdmi timings are "fudged" and some monitors might not sync.
vsync_adjust=2 ist the "best" mode, as it does not use buffer but rescales the picture "on-the-fly" and "fudges" hdmi timings -> using no buffer means, you get less lag, on the downside this is slightly less compatible with TVs/Monitors than vsync_adjust = 1. For example the LG C9 i am using works with 95% of cores with vsync_adjust=2 @1920x1080 if frequency <62hz. Only for cores with refreshrates >62hz i need to use a 1920x1200 resolution for vsync_adjust=2 to work. Up to this point i got all cores working with vsync_adjust =2.
it just feels wrong to me converting 50hz to 60hz how does that even work without stutter 😄
Yeah, 50hz played on a 60hz display will always be stuttery.
Hmm, getting a lot of crashes in Mario 64 with todays core
Robert is the one who brings it all together
I have to test out vsync2 out tommorrow. If I understand it right it will output 50hz as the PAL core then
still getting crashes on mario 64 after face patch and setting cache delay to 10. any other ideas?
Some arcade cores convert things like 55hz to 60hz by simply speeding the game up. So no stutter, but the game runs faster than it should.
patience 🙂
there is probably no ideal solution for now
Well Robert is the omega MVP!
So the data cache and cache delay options are baked in now?
Getting in game? The game can still randomly crash in game
Though my vsync sensitivity leaves alot to be desired, I will say your version over IO did look better. But now I trust nothing 😄
Stadium 2 still rolling over the screen constantly, but did that before too. Other games looking nicer. TY
@oblique remnant better use vsync_adjust=1 at the moment with the N64 core for PAL games - as here vsync_adjust=2 ist currently broken (at least on my display). NTSC N64 works fine though.
Issue with patching rom then
all my homies, use the no face patch
ill try patching again. thanks @chilly ember
@elder spruce same result. Every N64 game I know worked before loads to a black Screen
Did you check if you're still on the latest unstable main build?
@languid dune
we should add a regular Super Mario 64 - US - no face IPS patch to the FAQ and DB so we don't get a million questions about it.
Found I updated INI recently and hadn't noticed. Oops! Glad that conversation got me to get it off 0. Anything but 0!
vsync 2 - I have no HDMI, but I am getting NTSC fine on TV with IO RGB. I do also get "some" PAL image, but heavily shifted down.
FZero Sixty Faw is legitimately awesome 🤩
Ive spent too much time capturing analogue pocket stuff. I miss my 64 time
yeah i don know. did everything mentioned and mario still crashes. appreciate everyone taking the time to suggest stuff but ill just wait another day. ❤️
Recommendation for the FAQ: Since most of the game patches are IPS patches, we should include the checksums for the original ROMs that correspond to each patch. I know that caused some confusion for me, because I wasn't sure if the original ROM should be big endian or little endian... I eventually figured it out on my own, but the checksum would have cleared that up right away. We might cut back 10%-20% of the questions about why SM64 isn't working...
Looks like we need to compile the rom ourselves. I just built the vanilla rom successfully from the decomp to see how its done, will make an attempt this evening with the mod
How are you mapping the c buttons ?
love that little Tetris thing man 🙂
I want..
😜
where are those shelves from?
Hmm, can't get through a level on Mario 64 without a freeze on the 0909 core, but the performance is perfect. No fiddling with data cache settings
That's normal with data cache on
circuitbent: Ikea
Ahh, ok
Yep I can't get any N64 game to work after the latest update. Made sure I am on the latest version of the core, boot.rom is in the right place, etc. Every game I try that used to eork goes to a black screen
Works fine here
I followed instructions on Vamps site and things are working for me.
do you have the database file?
@noble ember try the auto update script
What version of 60fps SM64 is that?
@orchid nimbus I already ran update_n64
I uploaded a new version today
And update_all
Do you have your roms on usb0? I noticed the script puts the updated .txt in the /fat/games/N64 . Not sure if it's read just being there
@noble ember https://vampier.net/N64/update_N64.sh
Did you run update_all before or after running the N64 script?
Does this run at a locked 60 on real hw?
No idea, I suspect it doesnt but I cant test it
Thanks for this. I’ve been going to Vampier’s website for all the up to date info but still wasn’t sure how to find the pinned messages in the app. Not a big Discord user.
Can try but didn’t
the one posted above 60 fps v2
Is Kaze Emanuar behind that one?
Can you try putting your games on the SD card and see if that works rather than on the USB?
I have a 60fps version of SM64 but it doesn't run on MiSTer yet
@languid dune ok
yes, I found the hack here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/super-mario-64-60fps-hack-updated-all-stars-collectible-now.53115/
Also, do no games at all work? Or just some of them?
Raising DDR3 to 1.05 GHz doesn't make a difference in the hack performance
This one doesn't work on MiSTer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PdlXGyf6F8
Almost 3 years ago now I released a mod for SM64 that lets you run it at almost any framerate on the N64. I barely knew C at the time so it turned out as you expect. I also didn't really have much knowledge on getting the most out of the hardware.
So here's another shot with 3 more years of understanding.
I can still probably find quite a bit m...
I lied, maybe 1-2 fps
I can't get Mario 64 to work no matter how I patch it. I wonder if I'm using the correct ROM. Is there a md5 hash of the proper rom I should apply the patch to?
aww bummer, thats the one I was trying rn 😦
It hangs after the logo so I'm assuming the patch isn't working
i used the no face rom patch.. unpatched USA version crashes for me after the n64 logo
I built it from source. https://github.com/FazanaJ/ultrasm64/tree/m%26m's
@weary palm Swede here 😉
Helskotta
Yeah, I'm trying to apply that patch, but nothing :/
Yeah, I'm planning on doing more research around the video timing for games, I'll have a look at that one, typically you see that when the active video is shifted
You can try mine as well #1096015979055697940 message
Please read:
If you are having issues please check the pins first, specifically the FAQ linked.
Read the FAQ completely it will likely answer what you need.
Ok what I miss
Quite a lot more people here recently. I guess that's a sign of how functional this core is becoming so quikcly.
Yeah it’s pretty awesome!
Check your scripts folder for mister unstable. Rename it and drop it at the root of your SD card
This is the first time I've had the pleasure of seeing a core come to fruition and I'm quite new to the whole scene..
I feel so privileged to be here and hang out..
happy dayz
those are some pretty significant FPS dips. It's cool but it might take getting used to, like knowing when to expect the dips to happen, kinda like with the original version. For me it would be better if it were locked to a framerate that it could maintain closely
Awesome, I tweaked this a bit and created an N64-database-addendum.txt to merge in for ROM hacks every time an update is pulled down.
Thanks!
It's me in the screenshot
How are people running Zelda and Banjo Kazooie? Neither boots for me
how does it feel to be that famous?.
Did you get the unstable/database.txt file setup?
Pog
original rom MD5 20b854b239203baf6c961b850a4a51a2
someone can try that one, doesn't need a special database entry since first 4096 are the same
so should get detected as SM64
@pine field did you make that?
Did you hear the new official versions of the Badger song released the last week?
I wonder what would be a good N64 controller adapter for MiSTer that supports rumble pak

If that even is a thing.
Gotta give it to my 3 year old
He’s reset Mario 64 like 20 times
And he’s still playing
Doesn’t care that it crashes
Dedication
With that being said, it seems almost time based
Maybe a memory leak of sorts?
I've been wondering that too.
Beta testers have no limits!
He suffers for your enjoyment
@daring meteor @wanton sun Good Job, Kasher_CS this fixes the PAL vsync_adjust=2 (HDMI) problem for me!
I was about to ask whenever this affects scaler too in some way haha
Unfourtenatly I use RGBs
Is there any corollary between PJ64's .sra or Mupen64 .srm files and the .sav file? I'm trying to import a save file from PJ64.
I built from source, it runs on my end but only at a pretty solid 30 fps. Didnt crash on me yet. I'm not sure I did everything correctly though.
I might have uploaded the wrong file by accident, wouldnt be the first time today 😅
If you're getting game detection errors, you need to double check that your boot roms and database txt are where the games actually are
Or manually pick a cic (6xx2/3 usually) and reset rom
Picked up three stars including king bob-omb, so far no crash.
data cache is on with no delay, but I might just have been lucky. I'm using Kasher_CW's build.
This is Robert handing out any nuggets of progress. 😉
I'm curious if--down the line--we'll use an alternative way of setting the CIC type per game, because I play with a lot of randomizers that modify the starting bits of the rom.
Looks like the .sra files can just be renamed .sav no problem.
Worst comes to worst I'll just have to write a script that runs the randomizer and appends the hash to the end of the database text file.
Acutally, how do EverDrives handle the cic chip for romhacks? They just work on my everdrive.
probably a header reader
get rid of the database
Forgive my ignorance, but the header is the first however many bytes of the rom, yes?
not sure about the header format
but they all have a 3 or 4 char id
given to them by Big N
for homebrew they have different standards
The n64 core build?

Me consuming said nugget
Can anyone with experience with PAL Mario 64 verify it doesn't have significant black borders top/bottom.... Or does it?
Testing the WIP analog output, and can't remember what Mario 64 looked like, only rented back in the day
According to the core, by contrast SNAP goes to 320x285 for PAL, 320x237 with NTSC. That makes sense comparing to other cores. Mario 64 stays the same resolution (with/without noface patch)
mine runs
Reading a few sources now, I guess Mario 64 did have black borders. Remember it well with SMS. None of my carts do it, guess some still were not being optimised visually even then. Interesting.
I'm curious about the outcome of this. Please share what you find out!
guys I am about to blow your mind
Compasses work in space??
Marios a member of heros without borders
Without... My memory thought that. But German version did seemingly. Were there multiple PAL versions.....
Searching for people playing N64 with OG hardware on YouTube is a fools errand btw
well_were_waiting.gif
Hold on I'm making it (well chat gpt is)
@zinc dew mom already shared nudes. You dont need ChatGPT to fake them
I thought you were gonna blow our minds with this 60 fps mario 64 booting on mister
very dissapoint
Struggling to find.
Discord search broken as usual.
my mind is blown at how not blown my mind is..
How do you know our minds are going to be blown when ChatGPT hasn't even finished what's supposed to blow our minds?
you gotta ask robby for them. He took them after all
Sorry to ask, did you mean you've played PAL, no borders. Or just a fun joke.
You'd think searching for someone playing Mario 64 on an N64 in PAL land would be easy. Modern internet searching is so bad
Yes. No idea why the game seemed more stable, I specified the core I used just in case. I'm gonna try to look into it tonight
I think it was just the cheats
The multiplayer lasted a lot longer
or the result is at least different
class Program
{
static int Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Count() < 1)
{
Console.WriteLine("Usage:\ndotnet run <filename>");
return 1;

byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
MD5 md5 = MD5.Create();
try

Stream file = File.OpenRead(args[0]);
file.Read(buffer, 0, 4096);
file.Close();
}
catch (Exception e)

Console.WriteLine("Error opening file: " + e.Message);
return 1;

Concindentally I was playing with this and C# this morning lol
I already did this in c# and included bite swapping, endian swapping, etc. Feel free to steal code. https://github.com/YLFAndy/N64FileHasher

ok mine works now
ChatGPT is stupid. Check my code above or @manic basin 's
chatgpt: write optimized vhdl code to implement a translation lookaside buffer based on the Nintendo 64 Development Resource.
correct output
I will port to python though so I can run it from MiSTer 😄
This blew my mind. 😉
I need to push latest. It's missing a line (uploaded without saving) and I've also updated it to allow drag and drop. Which is handy if you're going through stuff quikckly.
can you ask it for the powerball numbers for me?

I had to check #general-banter since I haven't looked at it in a while, and they seem to be having actual MiSTer related technical discussions. yet here I guess we're killing time until Robert is back with a new build 😂
He said he would blow our minds! That is what would blow my mind.
same :)..
I can neither confirm nor deny that would happen...👀
Lots of FPGA specialists in there as usual 
This channel is 90% n64 testing and hype and 10% @cerulean elk bullying a mod 
@cerulean elk above the law...
oh Robby started this
no I didn’t lol
Robert is Ron Swanson in Home Depot re: N64. "Stop. I know more than you." What are we gonna add apart from moral support and test results?
Part of it is Robert occasionally posting a build, asking us to check if these two games work... and within 10 minutes, everyone in the channel has found 15 new games that work.
Your sm64 build runs at 60 fps on emulator but not at all on mister? For some reason mine runs on mister but only at 30. I rebuilt it to make sure, its still running. I was looking at the same repo you posted earlier
its rigged
It's the nuclear raction of N64 testing. We're all free. We're all readical.
Is OoT can be beaten without a random freeze the core is 100% already
Everything else is just a bonus 😌
I got to forest temple last night without a freeze
Does anyone know if we can use roms that have the intro in them or do we explicitly need no-intro roms
You's TROLLIN'
I know I'm lateeeeee my mister finally came in
Could it be that Robby is just Robert's alter ego? Very clever Robby. 
so that means no-intro only huh? damn it
So "No Intro" can mean a few things. No Intro romsets usually mean no hack screens, close to original as possible. No intro patches patch out crashing code (like in SM64).
you can use intro.... specifically the one with marios face in the beginning that you an stretch in super mario 64. try that
Most games load fine, but a few that do calls to unimplemented features might crash. So you have to patch them to get past it.
My name is Roberto after all
Welcome!
The plot thickens... like my gravy.
ohhh so if I just have standard n64 roms then I'm really fine. But i need like the no face patch for smb64 of course. But like if I want to do mk64 I'll be fine?
Yep!
Oh crap I'm sorry @verbal cedar I thought you were legit trolling 😂
lol
I never really knew that about no intro but I guess it's a response to those game cracks that had brought to you by screens, right?
no its fair I've been trolling here for 3 days because I didn't have the mister yet!
Fair enough 😄
thank you!
Yeah, here's an example of the garbage we had to deal with before people started actually preserving rather than boasting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAeAkwSK5fw
code / gfx / music: no credit
Please read: if you have any problems, @ fpgazumspass directly for every little thing and make no effort to figure it out. He’s very bored and has tons of time to answer questions about your favorite title
Plot twist, he was both trolling and serious at the same time! 
oh my bad I'll ask him about no-intro patches rn

its only trolling if everyone gets upset
I do not miss those days.
Although... some C64 cracktros were pretty damn awesome. 😉
Some are. Some are a pain in the ass because they hijack input.
My online sarcasm detector is spinning in circles rn
Amiga and C64 are both basically 100% crack screens on sets. 😦
How come
All of the above posts
It's understandable. But the one person you can count on being totally serious all the time is @zinc dew.
That comment is not at all contradictory. The image is meant to convey that he's attempting to absorb all of that game's greatness through osmosis.
When can we expect the quest tattoo? 
hes gonna come up empty
Will look good next to his Virtual Hydlide tattoo
once I get to 35K subs illl do that ROBBY WONT LET US WRITE IT CAUSE HE SUCKS 64 special and give a copy away
nah it works
I am a coder anyway
do not worry
show 60fps mario
I look forward to winning that one as well! 
you mean lose the contest, you don’t win with a copy of Quest 64
I guess I did lose the last one too...
I've just renamed the Banjo Kazooie NTSC SRAM save file with the PAL rom name and it works ! This game has no black borders like other PAL games 👍
Segata Ninshiro
I am pretty sure the PAL version of the game automatically used my USA save
which surprised me
The codes are usually similar from pal to ntsc games
Just different video handling code
Or irq
Ok I am spent. Ive been sitting around editing and capturing since 9 am. Why did I put in an nine and a half hour day today 😆
ouhhh what are you working on
Are you ready to eat yet? I like crispy bacon
I am heading to a b'day party for a friend. See you all on the other side! You beasts you.
N64 / analogue pocket / Halloween shit / some personal projects
I was gonna do like one thing then I kept thinking “well I’m already sitting here”
what a delightful shade of gray
we need a wireless reflex...i feel like i started working on that at some point
Don’t try it in Switch mode, 3rd party controllers are messed up with the Linux drivers
Nah I’m just going direct in USB
I almost never use wireless for MiSTer unless I’m in my living room and even then if dogs asleep I run a wire
Joan Crawford over here
Long time no see jorge
NO WIRE HANGERS
hi bootsector, i was just thinking about you
Glad to see you around buddy!
well i was digging around for my esp32 so it wasn't random
I made myself a nice 4 players adapter for XBOX One controlles to MiSTer USB using one of those. Super neat and it seems to be low latency! 😄
My generic BT dongles couldn't handle 4 joysticks at once 😛
Gifs you can hear
Only drawback is that it's only BLE for now. Which means only XBOX One controllers or Stadia ones 😛
Got a few XBOX One controllers so I can play Cadillac and Dinosaurs with my children haha
Genius! 😄
Does it handle 4 BT controllers?
i mean the microsoft dongle, it isn't bluetooth
and just connects instantly which i like
#1096015979055697940 message
Wow, this is a really great solution until all the video out stuff is properly sorted, thank you!
This is how you scare a #1046941029296779344 fan
Look, transparency!
the NSO controllers all connect via bluetooth really nicely to the ZEXMTE USB Bluetooth adapter thingie i've got. like the 8bitdo ones i find myself staring at flashing lights and needing to reconnect things way more annoyingly
the 8bitdo 2.4g with black dongles are nice tho
The sega Saturn can in fact handle transparency effects as demonstrated by burning rangers
Clearly a misconception!
meanwhile on N64:
I stole this
Also like half the texture size lolol
I like to roast all consoles equally
Not until Thursday. If I have to remake that video I’m gonna cry
FYI never type “mario and sonic” into the gif search bar .. it’s unsettling
Oi! So I'm using a retrobit tribute64 pad and the analogue stick is more sensative than female genetalia on a washing machine. Any way to scale it down a bit? Cheers
there's a few custom builds of mister main floating around that'll tone that down
at some point it'll be on update-all probably if you want to just wait
It would be nice if something could be committed for that, unstable main is starting to diverge a lot…
i was playing around with the n64 testbuild core all of yesterday completely forgetting i had replaced my controller settings file with that one testing the sega nso controllers 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️
remembered late last night and fixed it up, big facepalm moment on my part LOL
Mister main? You mean the mister general on this discord channel? What would I search for? Thank you xx
i actually don't know where they are
Ahh heh ty, I'll try searching around. Actually pretty good art there
Hold on it’s somewhere in #controllers I think
Man, if valve would sell a standalone controller based on the deck layout, it'd be perfect
#controllers message
if valve would sell a steam deck at all (in australia) that would also be great (what heck is taking them so long)
you can get them on Kogan now, of all places
or at least you could at one point
I brought mine to New Zealand
.... scary
Will these controller updates effect all my pads on all cores or can I make it for just the n64 pad I wanna only use with N64?
it should only affect the N64 core
are the little touch pads like mouse inputs?
that's pretty nice when using th ps4 controller on amiga for example
@zinc dew can we maybe get whatever the best build is for analog stick correction stickied in here ? sorry i don't know which build that actually is
They can be mouse, dpads, buttons, whatever. Great for games with mouse based launchers
Thanks peeps ❤️
Yeah, my analog stick sensitivity make F-Zero nearly impossible
@muted schooner That’s pretty funny but maybe crosses the line. Sorry friend, going to delete it.
lol
Does this help? #1096015979055697940 message
Big brother Robby saved us from it
like it really wasn’t that bad but we’ve got a lot of new users lol
This is homophobia and censorship literally george orwel 1984
lol jk no I understand lol
no we need one of the builds of main mister that clamps the analog stick range for n64
this one is what you want @zinc dew #controllers message
i actually don't know what the state of the art is - i think multiple people were working on it
Plus Robert does not like gifs at all , specially the repeating ones ..
Thanks, sorry about that. I mean in all sincerity if you feel like I overstepped here please ping the Admins and discuss it with them. Seriously!
fair point, would again be nice if it could be committed...
He mentioned that himself here on at least one occasion when I was present
Gif quota is 2 gifs maximum per hour period and they must be spot on
Ok thank you. I’ll make a pinned post.
Nice one Robby, thanks very VERY much xx
@vapid hawk raised a valid point though, no idea if that's the latest version
@lone geyser are you making an MR soon? the masses yearn for corrected analog stick ranges
While I appreciate it, don’t thank me. I originally didn’t pin it because I thought it wouldn’t be that helpful but clearly I’m wrong here.
It's pretty great.
also FYI if you use that MiSTer main with stick correection + the NSO N64 controller then make sure you are on the latest linux kernel from #unstable-nightlies
That's the Brawler 64 from Retrobit
otherwise it will overcorrect and you will have wrong ranges
this whole situation with multiple builds of things flying around sucks, it's a massive trap
Omg stop being so nice Robby
We like you. Don’t become a Wisconsinite like @languid dune and @brisk drum just apologize and saying “oop”
Oh thats good andy, I'm too drunk to get it working now but hope it works well foe the tribute64, its basically a super powered Dpad in a lot of games
Ok chiraq
it'll shake out eventually, kinda always happens on new cores
I have the Tribute, with the analog fix build you get the same results, 85 in every direction
Packers going all the way to the Super Bowl this year!
OOP did I offend you 🤣
Yes .. no cheese for u
This is like nearly a bigger fix than marios eyes ❤️
Cheese, beer, brats - all part of a balanced Wisconsin meal 🧀 🍺 🌭 wouldn't have it any other way
Hey look at @languid dune and @brisk drum my car is a Wisconsinite too
All it says is “oop” over and over
I know 60hz is favoured here but being from Oz I have to say, I do love the feel of Mario Kart in 50hz, purely for the nostalgia / feel of it. It's hard to kick formative gaming experiences.
Amen brother
What do people in Chicago say “ don’t shoot ?”
We are way nicer in Wisconsin
And better at fighting games
thanks Robby!
Only thing you do better is a Bloody Mary
Nah, thank you. I’m just here to serve.
Excuse me, but I ordered a large Coke and fries...
I’ll have a Bloody Mary then
Shots fired :p
They are just upset the most exciting thing to do in Wisconsin is to plan a trip to Chicago
Chicago is where pizza goes to die
Just like Bomberman Hero; that’s where Bomberman died
Lol don’t you live in Texas?
Anyone know what it is that causes the Mario 64 crashes?
Hell yeah, same here buddy, Straya!
I don't think the random crashes throughout the game are fully understood yet, but crashing at the stretchy-face Mario screen when the game is booted is because of a feature (TLB) that has not yet been implemented.
somehow I lost the nostalgia for PAL, years of emulation and console modding since then I guess
Yeah I meant the random ones.
Good to know the stretchy face issue is understood though!
same big time
I dont remember what it was like to consider pal oot normal
PAL > NTSC
Please send all complaints to @zinc dew.
@zinc dew say it ain't so
I remember. The PAL is in my veins, and eyeballs
Nobody replays the N64 in Europe I guess! Wait until we all have the PAL "wide-screen" Mario 64. Superior version clearly
Sorry but dem’s the breaks
50hz > 60hz
Please send all complaints to @zinc dew.
I couldn't handle playing emulation or even the SNES mini. So my love of pal remains in tact.
The controls just felt wrong, like the original seemed so different.
I think it was input latency. All I can say for sure is that the mister and the original hardware I can play.
Emulators I can't.
Like, I can barely get past the first level of Donkey Kong Country on an emulator, I can smash the whole game on SNES/mister though.
lol I love Chicago pizza actually
We will keep our pizza, you keep Ted Cruz
His face looks like a badly baked deep dish pizza as is
Or is he back down in Cancun these days?
In Italy pizza is just a smear of ketchup on a slice of toast.
Surely the majority of us here are around the age that we know about that immortal line uttered in the movie "Threesome" starring the incomparable...Stephen Baldwin? "Sex is like pizza, even when it's bad, it's still pretty good"
It's commentry on how light on the toppings actual Italian pizza is.
It's basically a completely different food from the US/AU/anywhere else stuff.
aint nothing sadder when a local pizza place (or any food place) changes owners and u go through a few months of realisation/denial before finally having to move on :-( had it recently with favourite pizza joint
i should actually try the thin crust at gino's east
Thankfully here in Melbourne we have a thriving Italian community and some decent Italian restaurants that serve pizza far more traditionally. Also the coffee. 🙂
Melbourne coffee is overhyped.
We also have Dominos, but I think "Crust" kind of perfected the idea of the gourmet-trash-pizza.
overhyped????
Oh someone chose violence today I see.
In WA we have great coffee too. Melb quality or better.
Pizza not so much.
Oh, hello WA friend. 🙂
About how much longer? I'm at 20 stars without crash rn
I'll allow it
To be fair, a LOT of places try to do good coffee in Melbourne. They don't last long if they're in the CBD.
Remember Starbucks tried to muscle in to Melbourne, and ended up closing half their stores within a few years.
well that aint no surprise LOL
Don’t get me wrong Melbourne coffee is good. I just don’t think good coffee is exclusively in Melbourne. But we can all agree good coffee isn’t in Sydney.
ohhh right right
Starbucks didn’t even make it to WA, thank fuck.
I visited Adelaide recently, the best coffee I had was at the ferry terminal on Kangaroo Island...
yeah it wasn't great
not since il padrino closed down
Oh not exclusively, no question. And Adelaide is starting to catch up, slowly, if they'd just serve it at a temperature slightly lower than the surface of the sun.
I will fully admit to being a typical Melbourne coffee snob though
LOL I just mean people always go on about how incredible it is and how they’d do war crimes for it or whatever.
Wtf, what's your settings, rom, game version etc? I can get to like.. 2-3
i feel like the idea that melb has better coffee than syd for example is probably ridiculous
Agreed, there is a lot of identity politics wrapped up in the coffee here.
its like a city looking in a mirror and yelling at itself
Oof, Sydney and Melbourne are nothing alike. Sydney is just awful.
ahaha
I find the idea that Syd can do anything well hilarious.
I have no idea why, but every single time I go to Syd some meth head will try to start shit with me.
wtf is up with australians and their coffee, jesus
it's really just Melburnians
Good coffee is good coffee, and you can get it most places - I'm just saying if someone said I had to pick one city in Oz to drink coffee in for the rest of my life, it would be Melbourne. But I was born here 44 years ago, I'm a little biased.
I’m going to need you to take a step back.
And probably run tbh.
i think thats kinda what im getting at. if u lived in syd u probably could find a good place, if u lived in melb u sure as hell can find bad places
i was trying to sympathtic and throw sydny a bone here aha
Tbh if you're Australian you're probably used to pretty good coffee. Then you go overseas, esp to the US or SEA and fuck, it's so bad.
ya
There's plenty of good coffee everywhere, yes. Just...more of it in Melbourne :p I
Amen
Oh man, I worked in China for a while in 2007. Great food but the coffee....eek.
I eventually got some kind of stockholm syndrome for NA style filter coffee last time I was in Vancouver - although turns out there are a few places there that do really nice espresso
are we talking like typical milk based espresso stuff or third wave filtered or what
When I was in Seattle I visited "The first starbucks" and had an espresso - it was better than I expected.
I tried Starbucks once, had one sip and yeeted that shit in to the bin. Never went back.
even CBD has its fair share of stinkers
Do I have to enable SRAM or EPROM save type for those games that support those in order for saving to work?
i mean how hard is a flat white come on
Yeah, lately it's dessert places that do coffee because it's expected, but don't put a lot of effort into it.
Very hard it seems considering many places still fuck it up.
Starbucks in Singapore and the US is shit. Idk about elsewhere.
It's just always burnt idk why.
I'm using a version of sm64 I built from this source: https://github.com/FazanaJ/ultrasm64/tree/m%26m's
Thanks!
shout out Sbriga coffee on King best coffee near my work :D
I can post a patch if you want
smb64 with the justZoot patch "Super Mario 64 - US Version (LodgeNet) - no face IPS" didn't load for me (same crash at screen that typically has stretchy face mario you get when non-patch). What did I do wrong...?
Keep calm and carry on
i think you mean dunkin
oh yes of course. coffee? i meant to say, caffenited Gamer Supps imported direct from USA
coffee is overrated
how to set off every Australian in the chat, just mention coffee at all
Not that much lmao
Like 3 stars
we think our coffee is better, and we won't brook argument
(well some of us lol)
Why? I thought the best coffee came from Guatemala
To be fair, ask any drug addict about their drug of choice...😛
And the Middle East
Here I made a patch if someone else wants to try to see if it really is more stable
Any particular build options/tweaks?
my sarcasm detector, again so misaligned...
@mortal apex you sent me down a whole kaze hole today, suddenly i'm excited for return to yoshi island despite never getting past the second level in SMW 2
I plain old don’t believe that Australians have the best coffee that’s just rubbish
also excited to see the improvements to vanilla sm64
Nope just the defaults
Yeah I agree, I think our average coffee is better than the average coffee in many other countries and that fucks us up and makes us angry about coffee.
Not saying a good coffee place in Australia is better than a good coffee place elsewhere.
i'm trying soooo hard to move on from the coffee talk LOL
Not the best anywhere, I mean it's subjective, but you will find coffee as good as the best anywhere else, and easily find a favourite place.
australians might have the best espresso culture
Probably the average coffee is better due to a number of incredibly racist government policies in our past which lead to a large Italian population which was exploited for cheap labour.
that's where I came from lol
My boss is Dutch, and the highest compliment he ever pays me is "adequate"...so I'll take it.
i mean the US has plenty of greaseballs like myself
Oh oh socioeconomics are a chat no no
Hot tip, if you do the Konami code at any cafe in Australia you get a free espresso.
And a some free shrimp on the Barbie
No.
i know someone who worked barista and was always weirded out when a full grown adult guy would come up and ask for a (free) babbichino and sit down and drink it with his morning paper
babbbichino being just the cappacino froth in a cup for kids
I mean, the man isn’t wrong,
that is cute
Disgusting
Beating the system.
hahaha
Why I would never
some people get that with lactose-free milk for their dogs and call it a puppacino, I don't get it...
i mostly use oat milk
The “pet care” indiutrial complex is worth billions of dollars
Hey, friend. Thanks for making all these patches. It’s awesome seeing you helping others out in the chat. 🍻
Domo arigato mister robbyato
No, thank YOU @zinc dew for being a cool dude. 
I’m just lucky I haven’t been banned yet tbh
Yeah well, going off-topic instead of talking about coffee...
And socioeconomics
What the fuck is a Nintendo?
its still morning in australia time, i'll wake up soon and be in n64 mood soon :-)
Nearly 12 here in Melbourne. Time for my fourth coffee.
anyone into filter? I got a ceramic Kalita Wave a little while ago, I suck at it but it's really fun
Btw Atari 2600 on component is just so awesome to behold
Go ahead load up some pitfall
i have hario v60
I find my V60 easier to brew with, probably because I'm used to it and have it dialed in now
haha, yep
I use an Aeropress at home.
the other important thing is the grind settings i think, getting a good grinder .. and then its just trial and error
Somebody should mod pitfall and put Michael Jordan in it
Campos coffee - now THERE is a coffee blend Sydney got right. Even got written up in the New York Times.
love the aeropress, I use it whenever I need to go into the office, so easy to brew with anywhere
MR is "merge request"? I can, but I think markun has made some other changes so I figured they'd be the one to do it. Mine is more efficient but nominally less accurate and more convoluted and it doesn't seem to be that important that it be faster so I was going to leave it be
Same, have one at work too.
Campos got my sister to drink coffee after 30+ years of hating the stuff.
ah cool - yeah MR is merge request
i still never got an aeropress coz i found myself going a bit too "all in" getting things and had to slow down a bit lol
PR I guess in github parlance - Pull Request
the console wars may have ended but the coffee wars are stronger than ever
I reached that point when I had a proper espresso machine - because work upgraded theirs :p
Backed it off - Aeropress almost seems reasonable now.
ye one day ill get it
the french plunger thing i hated. just cleaning it compared to the v60, and the quality of the coffee. didnt seem worth it
I just have a breville machine at home for espresso, it's no Rancilio or anything like that but it gets the job done
grinder and beans arguably more important than the machine you use
ya grinder is a big one
I can probably do a PR for unstable main and see what happens, lol
Yeah, gotta have a fine grind. Hand burr grinder usually does the trick for Aeropress success.
hario switch + hand grinder is easiest
I find the more effort I put in - assuming I don't screw it up - the more I enjoy it.
pourover is so fiddly
I have my hand grinder dialed in for filter, automatic for espresso
Sort of a "worth the wait, fruits of labour" thing.
But I've always liked delayed gratification I guess. Anyway, that's your TMI for the day
my hand grinder is stupid fast, no idea how
N64 is cold brew, Saturn is French press, and PSX is pour over.
soooo true
I really want to get something like a Moccamaster one day, some mornings I want filter rather than espresso, but yeah pourover is so much work when you just quickly want a cup first thing in the morning
ive always been saying this LOL
That makes Aeropress the Dreamcast I guess.
OMG mokapot is awesome
Not widely known but by its biggest proselytizers.
only reason i dont do it more is dripfilter is way less hassle
I guess that makes the Switch a Keurig?
An aero press that breaks apart in two years 👀
Mine's still going....maybe you didn't look after yours?
I love the Swirch and 100%
Wait, are we still talking about consoles?
Sorta...
Do mexicans have the best Tacos?
PC Engine is the Moka pot of consoles
Tacos is one of the top 5 best foods
Instant coffee is the 3DO. Sure it can get the job done, but why would you do that to yourself?
lol
oh my god I laughed out loud lmao
Then my work here is done. I'm here all week. And probably year.
Is the CD-I the left-over coffee you find in the drip tray?
i spent way too many years with instant. for me, i'm gonna say my homebrew wii is also my instant coffee LOL
3DO is more like Kopi Luwak... far too expensive when it was released, and when it comes right down to it, it was mostly shit.
Ok, deep cut. Instant Coffee-bags (those ones like teabags) are the Nuon.
CDi is crumbs of coffee grinds you found on the floor that have been stepped on for weeks
My friend brought me some of that back from Indonesia. It was decent enough, but not as good as I was hoping.
Saturday night and I could be playing starfield but I'm gonna update the test sheet instead 
I'm sure eating rocks was great before we invented hunting, too.
After all these years, I still can't believe I spent that much on my Panasonic FZ-1 when it was first released.
"Man, have you seen the price of that new PS3? I'd love to get one, but damn, that's a lot of money."
"Son, you think that's a lot, let me tell you a story..."
no... eating rocks was never great
We need to make eating rocks great again.
I like 3DO it has some interesting wacky shit
I regret spending that much, of course... but ultimately, I don't regret getting the 3DO. I had fun with it.
Oh wait, pop rocks. We did.
I think I got 3DO when it was half price
pretty sure before hunting we ate mostly fruit
Yeah... if only I had waited about a year.
my dad got it for me for birthday present
That's genuinely awesome.
I spent $700 on mine back then. 😦
wow!
Honestly if I had an unlimited budget, I'd track one down again.
I wouldnt have been able to get anything for $700
But first on my want list atm is a CD32.
3DO is pretty cheap arent they like $50 now?
I had just joined the Air Force and had practically zero financial obligations back then. Figured, what the hell...
maybe $100
whats the best game on 3DO ?
Try closer to 500.
wtf
AUD I mean, more like 250 usd
ahaha
oh ok
are we talking ebay prices?
yea I wouldnt pay $250 USD.... id rather just emulate it
That's fair. I just like tinkering with real hardware as well.
Japan auction is probably $100
How do you specify a game uses the expansion pack in a database entry?
My personal favorites ended up being Road Rash, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, and The Need for Speed... which was the very first game in that franchise.
i know around here sometimes gumtree or facebook marketplaces used to be a bit better than ebay but at a certain point everything just consolodatd a bit into silly prices
It was before retronauts and retro youtube channels started talking up Buyee
00f
Now it's a seller's market again. Like what happened in Akihabara
we will have an FPGA core one day ... I have faith
I hope so.
I did FPGA back at uni for my final year - since specialised in other areas. I'm kinda scared to get sucked back into it tbh but MiSTer has had me considering it.
try virtual boy core
You read my mind actually, it's one of the ones I considered.
https://hdlbits.01xz.net/wiki/Main_Page this is a quick easy way to get started on fundementals
Gotta start less ambitious though, it has been literally decades. Need to cut my teeth again.
Yeah, I've found a few resources but I'll give that a look. Cheers.
it's one of those things where they let you put code in and run it against a test suite
Oh right, I had played on that page a bit last year. Definitely on my radar.
If you get a lot of debug overlay like the yt video you built the correct thing. I get a stack dump when I try to load it in MiSTer
At any rate, I'mago get a coffee.
I'd really love to see a VB core done that can do SBS 3D for those of us that still have 3D tvs.
without knowing anything about anything i assumed VB would be easy
VB uses some weird custom cpu nobody ever made before iirc
Ok. Idk what I built then, there's no overlay in mine. Did you use any options?
Perhaps you got the main branch then
Says the Illinoier! Just eat some cheese and stop making us pay to drive on your roads!
More like the ash tray.
The Legend of Banjo-Kazooie - The Jiggies of Time romhack seems like it's working fine. Nice
From the N64 comes one of the most unique 2D sidescrollers ever made! Mischief Makers had so many rad ideas for the second dimension, it just couldn't go 3D like every other game on the system. Let's take a look at one of Treasure's most interesting games!

banjos maybe the most impressive game running on the core so far
git clone -b "m&m's" "https://github.com/FazanaJ/ultrasm64.git"
Hmm I have been able to get the No Intro GC version of Majora's Mask to work but the same version of Ocarina of Time is just a blank screen. Alot of the games I try just have a black screen strange.
I have gotten the translation of Wonder Project J to work
I have ran the script from Vampier
using unstable build
I didn't think OoT was working without hacks or savestates right?
oh maybe 🙂
Oot has played fine for me without crashes up to forest temple that I finished
Bangaioh worked but looked very strange...missing pixels
Oot is probably fine without crashes all the way through. On the Gamecube version anyways
You are correct, I was on main 😅
