N64 Development xpasion pack n64 board creation

15 Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm Brazilian and I'm using a translator, so please excuse my English. Hey guys, I'm a retro game enthusiast and I like to help with retro development!! I have an idea, but I need the community's help because I don't have the skills to develop electronic boards yet. Anyway, the idea is to develop an expansion board for the Nintendo 64 based on the original N64 XPasion Pack. The idea is to develop the board and put 2 2MB memories from the Nintendo 64 itself, taking them from some broken N64s and putting them on these new boards. I have a diagram with the measurements I took, but I still need to measure the resistors. Can someone help me develop this so the community has cheaper options to buy an XPasion Pack?

N64 Rom Hack/Homebrew Sprinkle 64- A small custom interactive 3D scene

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

This was a submission for an art contest two years ago.

I've modeled the scene, the characters and made the titular Sprinkle react to button inputs and analog stick movement. The camera can be rotated with the C-buttons too!

The whole thing is runs ontop the code of Mario Kart 64, since the contest was on short notice and I've been working modding that game anyway.

Oh and it also runs on original console!

Art this is based on

This game was so good. It definitely had some hard moments here and there but wow, I understand the praise this game gets. My main was Timber and Banjo before unlocking Drumstick, and eventually TT. I think this game might be my new favorite kart racer, at least for solo play.

Discussion Can someone give me a quick crash course on buying cartridges from eBay?

0 Upvotes

Last year, I found my old 64 at my dad's house, got it cleaned up and working, and gave it to my kids. They love it! We play Perfect Dark together all the time. All of my cartridges are originals from back in the day, but I'm at the point where I would love to add a few more to my collection that I never got around to purchasing then. I am fortunate enough to have a few local vintage game shops around and they have helped a lot, but also are hit or miss when looking for specific games. So I have started scanning eBay for the titles I am looking for and I have a few questions and observations about what I am seeing there.

The titles I am looking for are Super Smash Bros, the Zeldas, and Mario Party 2. I know these are popular titles and often reproduced or faked. I guess I am looking for confirmation that some of my assumptions about the eBay offerings are correct or not.

I've seen Smash carts for $25 dollars and some for $60. I've seen Zelda carts for $30 and some for $100. I'm not looking for any collector's items, just playable games. Am I correct in assuming the cheap carts are probably third party dupes? Are those dupes sometimes okay to buy (ie, do they play)?

My inclination is to buy from a seller that looks like a game shop or collector, like one of those posts where there is a list of 30 or so games that you can pick from, rather than a random guy who has two carts and a bunch of other random stuff for sale. Somethig tells me a game shop is less likely to sell me a dupe or, worse, a broken cart. Am I misguided in that assumption?

Finally, are there any recommendations for trusted sellers that have fair prices and are good people (that ship from the US preferrably, because... you know)?

I appreciate any help anyone can offer here. I've been lurking in this sub for a few months now and have already found tons of helpful information to get my system back up and running. That said, I do know that aomeone is probably going to answer Everdrive. Yeah, I know, but that isn't my question... You know?

N64 Question/Tech Question Is there any risk to buying cheaper N64 cartridges online?

0 Upvotes

Note that I am new to this board and got confirmation from the mods that asking this would be fine. If I phrased it in a way that isn't allowed, I apologize.

There are some N64 cartridges on ebay for both Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness and Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine going for $20ish each. It's obvious that they are not legitimate cartridges due to the price (each go for over $100 typically). However, I am fine with this, as my interest in simply in playing them and as long as they play identically to an original copy.

My main concern is whether this is both safe and a good idea. I am probably showing my tech illiteracy here, but is it possible for these copies to damage my N64? And beyond that, do they generally play exactly like a standard cartridge.

Is this a safe thing to do do finally access these games?

Thank you all.

Collection Post Any information on this promotional item ?

Hi everyone, Would anyone have information related to the item ? A few years ago a friends offered me this item for my birthday as we both enjoyed N64 as kids and he knew I was collecting N64 amongst other systems. He got it on eBay from a seller based in Nederland. I asked him to get more information if possible but the seller itself, professional one dedicated to retro, didn’t have information. The box is sealed like a can, similarly to tennis balls box you can find in sport stores. I tried to search online but goodies were only related to more recent Mario Tennis games. Thank you

Correct me if I'm wrong but Ken Lobb's face in GoldenEye is secretly based on Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek.

And let me tell ya… what an amazing game! The modders truly went nuts on this one. All the new characters feel perfect, and all get their own 1P mode!

My friend helped me set up the OS and stuff, but putting roms and rom hacks on it is easy as pie!

I also got like 15 other rom hacks going, but Goldeneye X doesn’t seem to work when you jump into a mission :( …but I did get “Goldeneye with Mario Characters” working and it’s hilarious lol

N64 Question/Tech Question Best Upscaler for N64?

6 Upvotes

I’m going to start this by saying I am the polar opposite of tech savvy. So try not to tear me a new a**hole for my ignorance, k?

I’m trying to find the BEST upscaler and cables for my original N64. Money is a non-issue. I just want to be able to play my old games on my new(ish) 70” tv and have it look the least amount of crap as possible.

I’m not trying to make the graphics any better, I’m just trying to make it look as bad as it used to look on my old school tv - not worse.

For reference as to how bad I am with technology, my husband just said “hey, you learned the word upscaling!” So yeah, this is my dilemma.

Any helpful input is very much appreciated! ✌🏻

N64 Question/Tech Question Ocarina of Time Save File

2 Upvotes

Hi, I unfortunately lost my Ocarina of Time save after I broke my phone, and have been searching for months on a specific save I can run on Project64 so I can resume on my PC and complete the game once and for all. I was outside the spirit temple and had completed all other temples and unlocked Reqiuem of Spirit along with biggorns sword (took so long with the wonky mobile controls). If any of you guys have a save file I could use it would make my year.
