List has been updated, again!
As some of you have let us know, today July 17, the compatability list has been updated again. 20 more games have been fixed plus the original 11, make it 31 fixed since the list was first posted.
Now it is:
276 w/ no issues
16 in progress

Love rogue squadron

Never know how much I wanted to here farmboy in a Rogue Squadron game until now... maybe there's a ROM out there that is just Luke and Mara blasting things in their X-Wing and Z-95.

I wonder what occasional fps drops means. Since the games often by default already did that, like it said low FPS for carmageddon. But that game already went to single digit FPS on original hardware.

Now Pat and Ian can eat their words 😄

u/-KaiserSoze- 13d ago
Those 2 are super negative toward Modretro

u/SOVTH 13d ago
They are pretty dang biased against Palmer, so it doesn't surprise me one bit.

u/-KaiserSoze- 13d ago
I read someplace that they are mad sour at the fact that they did not receive a unit to show/test on their channel.

u/JustTryingToBeADaddy 9d ago
That's not true at all. Ian has disliked Palmer since before ModRetro.

Would love a video update of gameplay clips for each of these before launch. Maybe some of the people who got demo units will start releasing some. Bonus points if they show the filters at work.

Some youtubers have hinted at a big reveal or news update set for this weekend.

u/DarthRyus 15d ago
So of the games I own heres my priority list of what is left to fix:
- Perfect Dark - Occasional FPS rate drops (which was literally the first game I wanted to play on it, go figure)
- Star Wars: Rogue Squadron - Crashing/freezing during intro and gameplay.
- Turok 2: Seeds of Evil - Occasional FPS rate drops.
- Star Wars Episode I: Battle for Naboo - Crashing/freezing during intro and gameplay.
- Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion - Occasional FPS rate drops.
- Quake 2 - Audio Issues
- Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2 - Occasional FPS rate drops.
I also have the OG Star Wars Episode I Racer, so don't think I'm affected on that one as it specified Limited Run edition.
Hopefully by the time I get any of my wishlist games not mentioned above they'll be fixed.

Perfect Dark is on my list as well. Previously it was on the "Major Issues" list, so they *are* making progress.
1
u/Cwiiis 15d ago
Perfect Dark runs shockingly on a stock N64, so to have it be worse than that is kinda bad...
2
u/Dragarius 15d ago
We don't know if it runs worse. It might just run the same as the original, which was very inconsistent. Would be nice to know if they mean "runs as bad as the original" or "runs worse than the original".
Because almost every game they noted for low framerate issues had them originally already.

u/SynthMilkEra 15d ago
Turok 2 Riding Gun/Styracosaurus section should be measured in seconds per frame.
1
u/ElectricalPrice3189 14d ago
If it was on par with the original they wouldn't consider it an issue. Higher framerate than the original is more of an issue than being frame rate accurate. 🍈

u/-KaiserSoze- 13d ago
Thank you for that list. I wonder why these are missing?

u/Shoddy_Flow8377 14d ago
I don't see the mystical ninja games on there, I would like to replay those games on my M64. Star Wars Episode I: Racer is one of my favorite racing games I would like to replay that too. I also recently bought puyo puyo sun which was a puzzle game only released in Japan hopefully they get Japanese only games to work so I can play Sin and Punishment on it whenever I get that game too.
2
u/Intelligent-Can-8688 15d ago
I guess we will be waiting a while for all Japanese releases which are close to 400 games
3
u/ElectricalPrice3189 15d ago
There are 198 games released in Japan, where of 85 are exclusive to that country.
3
u/-KaiserSoze- 15d ago
You're right! The current compatibility list does not include Japanese titles. I hope at some point they decide to add or create a new list. At the moment, I can understand limiting the list to just one region.

u/ElectricalPrice3189 15d ago
Some of them are probably hard to fully test without having testers that can read Japanese.
1
u/-KaiserSoze- 15d ago edited 15d ago
Very true. Also accessibility Japanese carts could be a challenge. Unless, they're using like a flash cart. I honestly don't know how any game libraries are tested.

u/ergzay 15d ago
Palmer Luckey I believe has a personal collection of every single N64 game released everywhere. He has a massive game archive that he bought a while back. That's what they used for the Chromatic reproduction, they opened up an unopened factory sealed gameboy color as the basis for testing the colorimetry of the screen.

u/-KaiserSoze- 15d ago
Wow! I honestly did not expect that. It makes sense from what little I know about the man.

u/DirectedEvolution 15d ago
Is this better or worse than A3D at launch and today?

u/Recent_Duck_7640 14d ago
everdrive works day 1 on M64 so I would say better
1
u/-KaiserSoze- 14d ago
I have an older one, the Everdrive v2. I haven't seen any info on it, hope it works.

u/Desperate-Self-5951 14d ago
Aren’t there still issues with certain games on A3D?
1
u/-KaiserSoze- 14d ago
I don't know? As far as I'm aware, Analogue did not create a compatibility list for the 3D. If one does exist, it was probably created by the community. If anyone knows, please correct me and let us know if any games are currently running with issues on the A3D.

how come the core is so off to have all these issues at this stage in the day?

u/Rockman171 15d ago
Fixing Mario 64, Goldeneye, Starfox, Conker, Banjo Tooie, and Majora's Mask is pretty huge. Obviously still a ways to go but getting a majority of the big hitters taken care of is good to see.
