    Robert (or FPGAZumSpass) is doing with active development of the MiSTer FPGA N64 core, giving us 99% of a fully functioning Nintendo 64 on MiSTer FPGA. Let's talk about what happened, when N64 will his MiSTer FPGA Update_All, the videos I have planned for the future and generally just celebrate the progress made on a Nintendo 64 FPGA Core! and a MiSTer FPGA review of the N64 is coming soon...and I have plenty of MiSTer FPGA tutorials and MiSTer FPGA guides on the playlist!
    but he ISNT done with the Turbo core as there is a brand new MiSTer FPGA N64 core that expands on the Turbo functionality and brings it in line feature set wise with the stock N64 FPGA core! and it will run Banjo Tooie at near to 60 frames per second!
    The impossible Nintendo 64 FPGA core just got updated again on MiSTer FPGA! With huge improvements to the MiSTer FPGA N64 core bringing new life to so many best retro games! We now have LOD or level of detail which is another N64 hardware feature added to the MiSTer FPGA N64 core! N64 FPGA fun incoming! and now we have YUV support too so we have a FEATURE COMPLETE N64 FPGA core! and now Bangai-O has been fixed and is playable!
    and here comes the big tests! Is MiSTer FPGA as good as real hardware for N64?
    and now we have a MiSTer FPGA N64 Turbo core! That runs many games faster and better than a stock Nintendo 64!

    I asked, you answered...and I try to listen :) Of all the requests for new content on the channel one of the most frequently asked for videos is a series on the Terasic DE-10 Nano MiSTer FPGA hardware...so here it is! Retro gaming goodness.
    On this episode of our MiSTer series we are going to be talking about the recent happenings in the MiSTer FPGA scene in regards to the potential of a Nintendo 64 core for MiSTer FPGA! Nobody saw it coming...and it was long considered an "impossible core" but perhaps Nintendo's first 3D console might be coming to MiSTer soon! Which would be amazing as there are a ton of great games for it and software emulation, while much improved, is still a bit hit or miss. Plus modding a N64 for HDMI out is expensive and VERY difficult!
    N64 on MiSTer FPGA would be a huge moment for video game history and preservation too!
    The N64 core RSP work seems to be getting buttoned up...so next comes the RDP or Reality Display Processor which is in progress and it now has perspective correction built in! . Which means we can now "play" Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Wave Race 64, even The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask...and some other items! and most of the corrupted graphics have been solved by this point in time! Plus F-Zero and Pokemon Snap now too! and Cubivore! And Animal Crossing...and 007 (no not GoldeEye yet) plus Pokemon Stadium! And Harvest Moon 64, and Extreme G and Glover 64...plus some beta Ocarina of Time!
    But after the PS1 core on MiSTer (developed by Robert as well) and the PSX 2X core…nobody should doubt his talents!
    and when it comes out just play Bomberman Hero, the N64 hidden gem of choice around this channel!

    This is amazing, the MiSTer just keeps on giving (thanks to the hard work of brilliant people), given Rare is one of my absolute favourite devs and CBFD is almost my fave game oat (2nd only to OOT), Its kinda mad that I have never played Banjo Tooie, and now thanks to Robert I can play it for the first time in immaculate 60 FPS, which I'm actually proper excited to do, thanks to Robert and everyone who made this possible.

    This is so surreal so see. If I remember, even the Xbox 360 port didn't run at 60fps. And tbh, the 360 version also just didn't have the same charm as the N64 version, it just felt...TOO clear. This might become the definitive way to play it for me

      Funnily enough when emulating N64, I set it to 640x480 and then use FXAA to give that N64 smudged look. While it also applies to 2D elements, the end result is strangely similar.

    It kind of reminds me of Dreamcast ports of games meant for the previous generation. Framerate is smoother out but not much more. I am always amazed at just how GPU limited games can be on even these older systems. Unlocking the framerate can reveal just how many games had an internal clock for 60fps.
    An example was the game Destroy all humans on Ps2, it was originally targeting 60fps but eventually the decision was made to "screw the framerate, we want to do all the things!"

    I think you bring up some of the reasons that I like to play games on software emulation where I have the option to, and frequently use, overclocking and increased internal resolution on earlier 3D platforms. They allow me to play the games as my younger brain remembers them rather than at the blockier and slower real life. Conversely I like running older 2D games with all the blockiness and no smoothing or crt filter options.

    I can't even start to explain how much I love these kind of improvements we're getting in these days of retro gaming history. But I will admit that even before this video displays the FPS counter, I'm having a bit iffy about the variable FPS that we see.
    I don't have the nostalgic experience with Banjo Tooie. so I don't know exactly how the game is supposed to perform. But I really want to have a full proper playthrough of the game. I'm unsure if playing it using a setup like this is the best way to go or if the Xbox [360/Arcade/Rare Replay] route is the better way to go🤔🤔
