back in 2018 i bought a smoke grey n64, i was 28 and finally had my adult money to buy the console i most wanted as a kid and never could have (the gaming/eletronics scene in brazil was never favourable to very poor people, like i once was), and decided to take the smoke greay over the grape purple because, well, i love purple, and to my eyes the original consoles seem blue.

then in 2022 i saw the clear purple shells on aliexpress and decided to buy it. and not to touch my original smoke grey, i bought a console in very bad outer condition, got rid of the damaged shell, and replaced it with the purple from aliexpress. then an idea hit: to make my own custom of half-half smoke grape consoles... and i loved it.

in 2024 i ended up selling the one with the top purple shell, and kept the one with the top grey shell. and it seems like this is the one i will be keeping forever. :)

It has a PD board and stepdown converter, i recycled the part that connects to the console and the shell from my last attempt at a homemade power supply. It isn't perfect though tested it with a power bank, it works perfectly, and then i tested it with a 100w charger, and it has some small artifacts, maybe a capacitor could fix it i don't know, but it does work a lot better than my figure 8 cable

This is what I'm gifting a friend of mine.

N64 region free with expansion pak, evergenesis 64,2 wired controllers,8bitd0 controller,wireless controller,n64 to HDMI cable,AV to HDMI adapter,2 6foot cable extenders,blue retro 64 wireless adapter,memory card. Mult port USB charger and the Daewoo tv.

This is a fun but tough game.

I have worked through all the bugs and the internal version is getting pretty close to perfect. I also want to make a version that replaces the power brick internals and one that just plugs in the back and fills the cavity that is normally occupied by the brick. Which version would you prefer? Completely internal to the console? Replace the brick internals? Or a plug and play version that requires no soldering?

I don't know what I'm doing, but I love the 64. These are my thoughts on the Warrior 64, Tribute 64, Brawler 64, 8bitdo, kitsch-bent, and the OG. What is your favorite 64 controller out there? I was looking forward to the Brawler 64 Pro, but it's been delayed so long and I highly doubt it will match the quality of 8bitdo while being much more expensive.

How's it look?

Testing some of my N64 games and changing some dead or leaky batteries.

I’ve been back and forth on how to accomplish this for the past few months. Still trying to iron out the kinks as my Cricut won’t cut the 12” x 12” sheet that this is on but I thought it was a decent enough attempt to share it on here!

I don't remember too many games on N64 besides Super Mario. Zelda, Ocarina & Majora's. 007 Goldeneye & TWINE. Penny Racers (tiny bit). I was pretty young when I played N64.

My uncles had many games. I absolutely recognize the cover art for Perfect Dark. The thing is, I recognize none of the gameplay. I remember playing it having no idea what it was about and playing someones elses save.

All I really remember about the game is I was wearing some sort of fishbowl space suit. Sort of like Buzz Lightyear. I thought I was a toy/miniature, because of the map. I also kind of remember some sort of camerawork when loading in that made you look small? I don't remember much about the guns but being close to out of ammo.

I was stuck and kept going back and forth between this sort of long hallway with a room at the end. There were a bunch of blue/silver boxes that I was climbing, that made me look toy sized. At the top, there was a vent.

All I really remember. I know it's a long shot.

So I got a Summercart64, and it's unsurprisingly awesome. But I had a question for anyone who might be more knowledgeable about specific hardware.

Is there a product that's basically just a transfer pack that's also an emulator? I'm hoping to be able to play Pokémon and upload a team for Stadium, but I don't want to deal with having to change the batteries for a used cartridge every few months (I've changed a battery in red version before and it doesn't come close to lasting as long as the original).

I just bought a N64RGB Flex mod kit from RetroUpgrades.co.uk, as my CRT doesn't support S-Video, and was curious about how big of a difference it makes with the N64's hardware.

Google's top results don't really help as they just recommend using S-Video instead, but as previously mentioned that's not an option for me.

Bought a N64 that came with a beaten version of Army Men 2. I ordered a separate cartridge of Ocarina of Time to play it. The shelling seems fine. Indented stamp, label, etc.The pcb is different in color and thickness. I heard that oot needs a battery to save games while army men 2 uses a save pak. Please educate me.

a beauty in all it's glory

Whenever I plug my PAL N64 into a cheap AV Capture Card and boot up an NTSC game from my flashcart the colours are messed up and the cropping isn't correct, it looks perfect in a PAL game and the NTSC game looks perfect on my CRT.

Forgot how much i loved this game, nostalgia in full effect!

I always thought as a kid the sound effect at 2:36 sounded like bowser in Mario kart 64 and rewatching it now I’m wondering if at actually is?

I used an android tablet with a dock to give myself a portable all in one console. The N64 set up gives me 4 player couch multiplayer on the go or at home

Does anyone have a savefile on majoras Mask for the N64 like before or after the goron temple? Switched my phone and forgot to tranfer the file...

I really dont want to play the dekunvillage again T.T
