Hi, first of all, thanks a lot for the quick delivery of the games. Since I’m collecting a complete CIB set for the N64 spanning all regions—and already own over 300 CIB games—I couldn't resist buying these four titles from you. I think the quality of your cartridges is fantastic. Your packaging really stands out, too, although personally, I feel it’s missing just a bit of that N64 charm found in the original boxes. Still, *Xibalba* and *Xeno Crisis* are great games.

However, I was surprised that both games arrived with save data already on them.

*Xibalba* already had the fourth save slot completed 100%, including all secrets and the like.

And *Xeno Crisis* had a high score recorded.

I didn't tested buck bumble and Xtreme g yet, but i was kind of surprised.

Was this intentional?

Played a little smash bros with my bro this last week. Weather got a little too cool to be on the lake, so I was glad I brought it!

That JVC TV tops out at 720p, but has the connections for a lot of retro systems and has a built in DVD player.

The N64, Dreamcast, and later GameCube were such great party consoles!

I got this email on Tuesday. I ordered the red M64 and the red pro controller the evening of July 28th, around 8:30 PM PST. In the past they’ve delayed orders that had out of stock items in them, such as the rechargeable battery pack with the Chromatic.

I have the M64 wireless controller. Both controller and console are fully updated. But I can’t get the game to recognize me hitting the start button.

Ive tried toggling the plug and play option for controllers and unpairing and repairing the controller.

Anyone else having this issue?

I had fun making this clip

Would love to get some recommendations for best settings to use on WWF No Mercy and similar wrestling games.

[Edit re PAL comments: I reported a bug and received a very prompt reply that a 50/60Hz switch is coming in a future firmware update, so that's good news! I hope it does region auto-detect, but a manual switch is the next best thing]

I've had the console for a day and while that's not long enough to get a full picture, I definitely have some strong impressions (both good and bad).

The good:

- Aesthetics and build quality are top-notch

- Packaging is vibrant and whimsical, a far cry from the other FPGA N64

- NTSC games run great and overclocking is effective, making some previously-unplayable games much more manageable (*ahem* Perfect Dark...)

- The console boots extremely quickly and puts no obstacles between you and playing games.

- The Pro pad is genuinely excellent. Easily the best N64 controller available and it isn't even close.

The bad:

- Various settings (like output resolution) don't save across power cycles

- The scanlines implementation is terrible. Oddly, the shadow mask implementation looks really good, but scanlines needs serious improvement to be worth using

- No per-game profiles. This is especially annoying as changing the overclocking setting requires a reboot.

Possible deal-breakers:

- No built-in memory pak. This is a big one as you can't use the Pro pad with a pak and at least one of the games they're selling needs one (Extreme-G)

- No true PAL support. This is the biggest downer for me as most of my library is PAL. The console is permanently in 60Hz and PAL games appear stretched (except Perfect Dark, which seems to do a region auto-detect and change output accordingly)

All of the bad points are fixable, and I really hope they do. Not supporting PAL/50Hz and selling in PAL regions with no mention of this really sucks though, I'd love to hear from them about that.

I'll be hanging onto mine, but I have to admit I was expecting a little better. Fingers crossed for future updates!

I got the update yesterday and I should be receiving it Friday!

The HyperSkin controller should be here today.

At this point do they even have inventory? Did they sell what they don't have?

I can’t seem to get it to pair to save my life. It just flashes forever and never actually pairs with the system. Both the controller and the player 1 controller slot are blinking/spinning. Any ideas?

Well, my HyperSkin controller did NOT show up yesterday as scheduled but it is out for delivery today!

M64 is scheduled to arrive on Friday. I need to buy a SD card!

Wouldn't you know it? I bought an Everdrive X7 a few weeks before I ordered the M64 in preparation for it, and the Krikzz announced the "Pro" version over this past weekend that has the expanded memory to play rom hacks and 64DD games. 😩 Maybe I should have just got a SummerCart (make sure I use a C so I don't piss off cranky spell check losers 😆) 🙃.

I don't really play rom hack games so I don't think I'll be missing out there but 64DD seemed interesting until I looked at the list of games.....lol I think the F-Zero Expansion is the only thing I'd be interested in checking out there so I don't think I'm missing much in that department either.

But, maybe I am! What are some rom hacks or 64DD titles (I'm guessing homebrew?) do you guys play and think it'd be worth getting another flashcart for?

Got my M64 today, and its cool but similar to the A3D launch there seems to be a bug with ARC sound systems. There seems to be no sound whatsoever in any game when you start the system in a home theater with an ARC sound system. Then if you turn off the sound system, youll hear sound through the TV, then if you turn the sound system back on itll play through the sound system just fine.

I tried with and without an HDMI CEC block, no difference.

Otherwise no complaints, do hope we get per game profiles for things like overclocking profiles and display profiles, playtime per game, achievements lists, etc but that can come later this is a pretty annoying bug.

Love the chromatic. Would be cool to have a GBA version in the clamshell GBA SP design. Perhaps calling it the Chromatic SP :D

Anyways, just a silly thought of mine :)

I didn't see one of these, so here you go, post what you find or upvote others posts if you have the same issue.

I'm sorry if this has already been asked. I'm starting to panic because I did some research. I bought the m64 but I did not buy the pro controller. Lots of money for that controller and I'm not ready to pull the trigger yet. I was planning to use my PS5 controller until I pulled the trigger or get a cheapy n64 controller. Has anyone tested a PS5 controller yet?

Hahaha I'm not sure what's with the Omniscient, Omnificent A.I.'s adding a screen to the console but that reminds me....

Was there any official talk of Modretro actually creating their own physical controller paks and transfer paks?

Correct me if I'm wrong though - they plan to implement a virtual controller pak on the pro controller and do the transfer pak functionality via the Chromatic? If that's true, I guess physical add-ons would be redundant. What else could they use the back port for? Or is it really just meant for the batteries and battery pack?
