Susuwatari Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I don't think either of the Al's would approve of this. If you have a local Gamestop or other used game stiore, try them. I've seen complete N64 set for under $40, which is not bad. Just make sure it comes with warranty since well used N64 controller may have a bad analog stick. If you have the option of choosing N64 system, try to look for one that still has a 4MB expasnsion pak inside. It is required with 2 games and works with many more or you could sell it for around $20 on eBay. I doubt there are any web site that has any Nintendo ROMs so you may need to try one of the alt.binaries.emulator group or on a P2P server. I don't have any ROM as I still prefer to the real N64.

Ze_ro Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 look for one that still has a 4MB expasnsion pak inside. It is required with 2 games and works with many more It could be argued that it's required for 3 games... Perfect Dark doesn't technically require the expansion pak, but even the game's box tells you that only 35% of the game is playable without it. You can't even play the single player missions without the pak. As for N64 roms, look on the newsgroups... they're easily the most reliable place. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy_Dude Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 N64 emulation = Shit. It will be a long time before it reaches the quality to be worth the download.

jetset Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Why does everyone get bent out of shape about roms? This *is* the emulation forum correct? I understand if someone is asking for gameboy, ps2, xobox, etc...but the n64 is dead....dead....dead. Is Nintendo still selling and supporting the N64? Are there companies producing, marketing and selling NEW games? I'm sure the Al's don't love the idea, but if they were dead against roms and rom requests, they would remove the forum and ban the topic. Without rom files, there's no point to emulation now is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'v bought a lot of them ) in my mind that means it ceases to be a modern console. but like I said, N64 emulation still has a long way to go. I wouldn't waste my time on it ..... plus the consoles are dirt cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susuwatari Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 The problem is Nintendo could go postal on any site that offers any ROM for *any* Nintendo systems including the long dead NES. So it's a good idea to discourage anyone from asking for Nintendo ROM here. Same thing with Sony and Microsoft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holygrailvideogames.com Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I don't know if I would post links for the N64 roms. Nintendo really doesn't take to kindly to people offering their roms. I think that we all know that they are out there and if someone wants the roms they aren't too hard to find.

Albert Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Please do not post links to ROM sites containing ROMs for newer systems like the N64. Nintendo has a well-established history of going after sites that post binary images of their games. Most of the companies that produced games for classic systems have turned a blind eye to the distribution of games for those systems, although it remains to be seen how much longer that lasts. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raindog Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 N64 emulation = Shit. I thought so too till I built my brother and niece a 2.4GHz Shuttle XPC for xmas. Mario 64 never looked or played so good on TV. And I'm sure whatever site I found it on is no longer there, so don't look at me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Atari could do the same with a site that offers Atari roms for their long dead systems? Well, they still can try. So far, Activision is the only one that got AA to remove all Activision ROMs (as I understand, it was a request that Al complied). Most other ROMs are abandoned and a few still retain copyright (like Atari games) but no one's taken any action to get AA to take them off.

Ze_ro Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 At one point in time, I actually had a near-complete collection of N64 roms. From what I remember, the only games that I was missing were a handful of European-only releases, and I didn't bother with multi-region releases (if there were Jap, NA, and Euro releases, I grabbed the NA one). I leeched all of this from the newsgroups, since there were N64 floods all the time. I burned a set of three CD's for my brother, and I intended to do the same for myself once I "finished" the set... but I never did. Eventually I realized that the vast majority of the games just plain sucked (games based on Rugrats and such), and aside from maybe 4 or 5 games, I already had legitimate cartridges for all the good ones (I can't remember off-hand when I bought my N64, but I think it was sometime after I had started this collection of roms). Plus, my computer is really too slow to do good, full-speed N64 emulation anyways. So I unceremoniously deleted about 3 gigs worth of roms. Good riddance. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
