    Thanks to RetroStage for the N64 Blaster and Flashboard! Grab yours here - retrostage.net/
    What are some other N64 imports I should look out for?

      John Riggs: RIGG'd Games Theres a game called Shiren the wanderer that is one of the few RPGs on the system and its great! Ive played through quite a bit of it in Japanese, but I have seen a English patch online. never tested it though.

    • @gaijinguide9017
      @gaijinguide9017 7 лет назад +1

      John Riggs: RIGG'd Games Also, If there is an English patch for Custom Robo, that game is great is well. B Damen Battle Phoenix is also a phenomenal game that never left Japan.

      John Riggs: RIGG'd Games
      Would you like to trade? I have a PS1 game called Lost Vikings 2, I come from the UK, so would that be a problem with postage? I hope you reply, I'd like a ps1 game that is PAL compatible. Thanks!

    This is something I read about *Doubutsu no Mori* (Animal Forest/ Animal Crossing 64)
    The N64 version of this game includes a real-time clock chip inside the cartridge. It's located at the bottom left of the board, labeled RTCK-NUS. No other games used this chip.

  •  7 лет назад +20

    There is a internal clock into the cartrige for animal crossing. This is why it crashed, exactly what you was thinking :)

    • @leetmoka3482
      @leetmoka3482 7 лет назад

      John could this be fixed by adding your own???

    •  7 лет назад +2

      I don't think this will be possible. This was created specificly for Animal Crossing because the game was designed for the 64DD which had a internal clock. They just changed it to a simple cartrige with this system because of the failure of the 64DD.

    • @leetmoka3482
      @leetmoka3482 7 лет назад

      Thanks for the knowledge :) I've heard about the 64DD and I thought it was very cool how they were trying to push a web service on it.

      Somebody made the game or proto /beta or it's fake Animal Forest / Animal Crossing Nintendo 64 Repro English Translation, N64 repro img0.etsystatic.com/142/0/12328334/il_340x270.1160022322_m9i6.jpg

    •  7 лет назад

      Maybe they used an original one ? After all, it is maybe possible to reproduce the internal clock, and this will be cool :D; But i don't really know how without using an original. An expert, please ? :3

  • @Home_Rowed
    @Home_Rowed 7 лет назад +1

    Great videos, by the way. Could you make a video on how to make N64 boxes, and manuals? What printer you use, cardboard and paper type? I saved all my N64 boxes and manuals as a 6 or 8 year old kid, but my parents lost them when we moved. Now at 27, I've still never gotten over it, and buying all real ones would be about $1000 for my collection.

  • @cowboyvenus
    @cowboyvenus 6 лет назад

    Good stuff! Quick correction, though, No Mercy rom hacks will work, just not gameshark and hi-res texture projects.
    I'm one of the heads of the No Mercy scene and we'll be having something fun in store for people soon that can go directly onto a cart.

  • @TheCompletionist
    @TheCompletionist 7 лет назад +10

    I don't necessarily have a problem with N64 reproductions. If people have the means to be able to put rom hacks or translated N64 games onto an actual physical cartridge that never had a proper regional release. However with any type of hobby you'll always get those people that will try to take advantage of it and I worry if greedy assholes will use tactics like this to make counterfeit North American N64 games and try to pass them off as originals. Those are always my biggest fears when it comes to reproduction carts but I know the people who would do something like this are a very small minority when most people would use the technology for beneficial uses. I guess people just need to learn to separate the good from the bad and be wary when buying things when they can be counterfeited so easily.

    Okay so this may have already been asked or looked into but with the way tech is today vs. 1997 could you put FF7 on a N64 cart? I feel it would be possible now that memory may not be an issue but I'm sure there are a lot of other factors that might get in the way to be worked around

    Both the GameCube and SNES use a Crystal Oscillator Clock on the systems mobo itself. It would probably be a pretty daunting task to try to recreate that on a N64 though (not sure, but i dont think it does). Thats pretty awesome though!

    overall price isn't too bad since repro n64 games are are running $50-90 each.
    then theres that 600 in one cart.

    • @JohnRiggs
      @JohnRiggs  7 лет назад +5

      Once more people are making these, you'll see that price drop, hopefully. No repro should ever be $90.

    Hey john can you do. A video on making reproduction carts such as Goldfinger 64 with the retro stage programmer. I have read you can only play it on the ever drive. However I see people have already made these reproduction carts such as banjo dreamie. Goldfinger 64 , goldeneye x and other home brew games that I am unsure of the cic chip code on these home brewed games.

    You must use the Nintendo 64 PCB Board made by Retro Stage?
    or is there any way to use the original cards ??
    for example:
    delete a card with Mario Kart 64 (CIC-6102) EEPROM (4 Kbits)
    and put in Super Mario 64 (CIC-6102) EEPROM (4 Kbits)
    Could it be ??

    @Silverpourer 7 лет назад

    Hey John, I bought the retroblaster and a bunch of boards with extra chip 5 so that I could make reproductions of Conkers Bad Fur Day. My brother wanted one as a graduation present, and I thought I'd give the rest to friends. Strange thing though, I can't seem to save Conkers onto retrostage's board. I can put other games on there, but I always get an error with Conkers. You said in your video that you can put any regular n64 game on one of these things, so I thought I'd come to you for advice on how to do this with Conkers. I hope you're doing well.

  • @demonpride1975
    @demonpride1975 7 лет назад

    this method is ok, but what if the person wanted to label the cart and leave it on there, that's actually quiet expensive. i just went and checked bay. there is a copy of perfect dark for 18 dollars. that's including shipping, without shipping 8 dollars. so this does work but for people who want to make it look like they have a collection of games. this is a very expensive way to go.

      @CommodoreFan64 7 лет назад +1

    • @denniss4951
      @denniss4951 7 лет назад +1

      All the thing in the OP is is a flash cart. I was expecting something like someone figured out how to program eeproms and make their own cart. Oh well. The item in the video is inexpensive enough but I'd still rather use my everdrive. Having one game on a cart isn't too exciting lol.
