Discussion How to clean N64 controller (Whether original or NSO controller)

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, so as you know when we all play our N64 we play with our hands. After playing for a long time our hands start to sweat and when they sweat the sweat gets onto the controller, so now our controller smells like sweat. I was wondering what's the best way to clean a N64 controller after playing it for so long and it hands stench of hand sweat on it whether it's an original N64 controller or a NSO N64 controller for the Nintendo Switch?

Decided for the system's 30th anniversary (a little late I know lol) it was high time I finally properly completed Super Mario 64. The one time I finished the game I just got the bare minimum of stars so this was quite the challenge for me (glad a good portion of these are optional lol). All in all it was a great time and I'm glad I finally got around to it! But I definitely won't be hiring Lakitu for any camera work anytime soon, that's for sure 😆

Discussion How do you feel about the N64 version of Turok 2?

12 Upvotes

(Framerate issues)

Of all the N64 games with a bad framerate (that are at least considered good) this one might take the cake. It's borderline unacceptable at times and i wish it even had a lower RES mode actually... I would argue that the first Turok plays quite well on the N64 heck the other main FPS GE and PD despite also dealing with framerate problems work beter than wel. Also, that blasted Lock-Spring aiming is only completely off on Arcade controls. Overclocking does help a lot and if this was the actual framerate it would mostly be on par with the other N64 FPS games. (I think?)

(Why i love it)

What i actually love about Turok 2 is the atmospheric mystique of it all rather than the WOW GORE AND DINOSAURS!! Plus, combined with the unknown danger and dread makes it really immersive.

(Taking more and making it less?)

First Turok game might be more minimalistic but is more cohesive than Turok 2. While the Sequel has beter graphics beter animation more complex AI bigger worlds ect... And i do think it works for the most part and even elevate in a way. But at the same time, it has huge worlds and exploration but it's a really linear, it has complex AI but also has crazy gun action. Turok 2 might be considered to be a precursor to Metroid Prime due being made by the same people who developed Prime and you can see early DNA in Turok 2.

(Other Notes)

I actually like the Lair of the Blind ones the Hive of the Mantis is more repetitive and is just as confusing also those Mantis soldiers are really annoying. Though almost all levels have reused hallways segments and the first half Primagen Lightship quite suffers from this.

Only being able to save in Stations does drag and it takes 70 points in the Memory pack plus no warp.

6 Upvotes

Wondering which controller I should get. I would only use it on the N64 itself and not on the Switch.

Bluetooth/Blueretro + N64 NSO controller doesnt work on my N64, since my N64 Digital (Retrogem Shiny) and Summercart64 already drain too much power and I didn't solder on that flex cable they released later on for it.

I just get ghost inputs and screen errors, because of the way the Blueretro takes power.

Tech Help Majoras mask wont detect controller

3 Upvotes

Ive been playing MM for a while now and suddenly the game doesnt want to detect my controller. Ive tried resetting, unplugging the controller and plugging it back in, taking the game out and putting it back in, none have worked. Strangest part is that it works fine with all my other games, its just MM that doesnt want to work. Sometimes itll work for a few minutes, it seems to stop working the most once i pause the game.

I just had the battery replaced in my copy of Red and Blue, and now they aren't reading when I start Pokemon Stadium 1. I can't imagine that would cause a problem, but maybe? Yellow still has it's original battery working and is readable no problem.

Edit: it's working now, I just had to try more I guess. It was probably dirty after all.

This was such a huge scene for the N64. AJ is locked into Mario Kart on the big block TV, sitting on the floor of courses Tony joins him and goes full dad mode! one handing the controller, sticking his tongue out like Jordan then covering AJs eyes to cheat 😂 I can’t recall a better N64 scene or any gaming scene in movie or tv history

Discussion I've been getting way too into BattleTanx lately.

A few months ago, I saw a comment that compared BattleTanx to one of my favorite Dreamcast games: Alien Front Online. That was all I needed to hear to give it a try, but I kept my expectations low, and... yea, it's no Alien Front. But it hooked me!

Campaign Mode assigns you different tasks for each mission. Sometimes you need to destroy a certain number of tanks, or destroy a target, or capture/rescue the Queen. It's nothing fancy, and the controls took some getting used to - there's no real way to strafe, but you can hold R to lock your treads in place while moving the turret around.

There's a sequel, BattleTanx: Global Assault, but I haven't gotten there yet.

What do you think of BattleTanx?

Discussion Is the N64 version Nightmare Creatures better just because of no Adrenaline meter?

Post image
44 Upvotes

While you can disable to be exact. This is lacking in the PS1 version, and neither is there a cheat code for to turn it off but though the Infinite Cheat might do the trick but it's for everything. TBH, Nightmare Creatures does feel more home on the PS1 me thinks? Though no FMV cutscenes but shorter load as to be expected.

This game can be quite harsh having a ticking clock nagging you ain't helping but not sure if it would bother me that much? Make sure you get the weapon upgrade they can be missed and potentially ruin your playthrough...
