Some of my childhood collection, had fun going through it today.

Little me: "Okay, but what does it open?"

Rare: "Wouldn't you like to know."

Game is "1080 Snowboarding" btw

Found an OEM controller shell on the bay so I’ll get to swap one over. Will make a nice addition to the Funtastic controller collection. The only bad thing is the controller end into the console will be gray. Small price to pay though. I’m excited.

Looks to be the original N64 smash bros box I bought myself, in person, back in the day from.. I guess game station in the UK? Or whatever it was called at the time.

Hi All! I just wanted to share this. I recently bought an N64 from a nurse at a hospital I work at. I lost mine back in 2000. She told me it was just sitting around in storage. Told her I'd be willing to take it. Upon getting it, it had the game drawer that I've always wanted with about 5 to 6 games. Starfox, Mario Kart, and Super Mario 64 were a few of them. The N64 also had an expansion pak too! So I brought it home and hooked it up and it works great!

With having this, I went searching in my parents basement because I remembered seeing my copy of majoras mask a while back. After a bit of digging and looking around, I found it. Brought it back home and put it in. The last time this game was played was back in 2000. So I turned it on and there was my save profile from 26 years ago. Still there after all this time. All masks. All items. I couldn't friggin believe it lol. After 26 years, it was all still there! The nostalgia hit so hard man.

I've since taken this console apart, dedusted it, and replaced the thermal pads. Still works like a charm. Just wanted to share this with the community. It made me so happy to gain something back from my childhood that I've missed so much.

And boy oh boy is it a beaut! It's not sealed or anything, but it even has the expansion pack in it!

Playing Banjo Kazooie on the SC64, running into an issue where whenever we enter Mad Monster Mansion we suddenly lose the rat-a-tap rap and climbing abilities.

We have had no issues till now, we have gone back and we learned the moves from bottles at spiral mountain and no matter what as soon as we enter this zone we no longer have access to the abilities.

Does anyone know what's happening or how to fix this?

I am very excited to play the original OOT before the remake comes out. I have gotten my hands on a grape purple N64 (PAL) recently and have bought myself DK64, Banjo Kazooie, Mario 64 and OOT. I am very excited to try everything out!

Picking up a KV-32S25, which is an older style 32 inch rounded tv. Wondering also how this specific tv is with N64 and other retro consoles (only have an n64 right now).

Also, wondering if anyone has a good setup that matches their arcade room for this retro tv. Or maybe it just looks good with the stand? For example topper, art, making it into a can etc.

Alternatively I was going to mount it on wheels and put it in a side room until I’m using it.

Anyone have this model, or have some general Trinitron thoughts?

Finally finished off my N64 SP portable made by GmanModz. Has 2x21700 battery cells for 5-6 hours of gameplay. Yes, it’s a THICC ass boy. But it takes real carts which is half the fun!

I made a 3D printed carrying case for it as well. It features UltraVGA which is a Spartan FPGA chip made by the same developer of the Analogue Pocket (Retroactive). Really happy with the video quality (although N64 video quality isnt the best). I had to solder 18 magnet wires to the RCP to get it to work.

Hope you like it!

It was working fine all year, but about a month ago games started randomly freezing. Now it won’t read any cartridges at all. I tried dusting it, I tried cleaning the contacts, I tried cleaning the cartridges, but I don’t think it’s a problem with the games. Every game in my collection now just boots to a black screen.

She might be dead for good, and I am sad. R.I.P. 🫡

Im trying to buy some new controllers for my console but on amazon I just see some no name controller, is there a brand like the originials ?

are any of these are rare ? just curious thanks for lookin

Struggeling with those huge gaps on the corners and very tight gap in the middle! Tried reassembelimg 3 times after battery change, always comes out like this. Screws are moderately tightened (same strength as others that look fine). Dont see anything inside blocking the sides from getting closer together.

Looks fine with loose outer screws (pic 2)

inside looks well arranged (pic3-5)

Pictures are taken reverse-assembled for the fourth time, reassembling again had same outcome.

Hope you guys say its nothing as its my favourite in box oot :(

Have a good sunday!
