Perfect Dark - FarSight XR-20

Or 2023 year...

For the past few months, I've been working on an N64 inspired game inside of Unity, as well as replaying old N64 games and trying out ones I haven't played yet. So far, I've learned a lot!

But, I want to try and get different perspectives on this topic, as I starting playing N64 games very late in my life.

There's a certain aura around N64 games. Whether it's the music, gameplay, or overall aesthetic, I always seem to come back to this era. It just felt like no matter what new IP came out, the games always had so much damn character.

The main aspects I want to focus on are gameplay, art/models, and music/sound effects. Music and sound effects are one that I really want to nail. What makes these songs and sound effects so memorable?

Technical answers are also welcomed! <3

So I bought an N64 from a friend, and they had not touched the console in many years. I used high-proof alcohol to clean all the contacts, game and console, including the memory pack, AV1 slot, everything.

I plugged in the AV into an AV1 to RF adapter so I could plug it into the AV adapter in my TCL tv, which worked for my NES and Wii, but not for the N64.

I can hear the game, and I can click on things using my controller, but I cannot see what's happening at all. If anyone has any help that they are willing to provide, I would appreciate it <3

EDIT: NEVERMIND, I TRIED SHOWING MY BOYFRIEND THE ISSUE AND NOW IT JUST WORKS AAAAAA

I bought this game and it doesn’t work. It seems that it’s very dirty inside. Is there any hope in cleaning it ? And if so, how ?

I was playing the Original Perfect Dark past the starting level for the first time, as I've been thoroughly playing through the Single Player Campaigns of Classic FPS games recently, and I realised something about its symbol that I've never noticed before. I already knew about how it was shaped like an, "N", as it was originally released on the N64 (many N64 games had the rotating N-Shaped Logo so this was very intuitive for me to pick up on), but I realised that if you mirror the Symbol Vertically, that instead of looking like a, "PD", it conveys a stylised, "64". Has anyone else noticed this?

Hey all, for a long time there has been a long running idea that Space Station Silicon Valley would crash using US copies while using the Expansion Pak unless you manage to get the later revision cartridge. Generally, the idea seems to be that if you have a numbered version without the letter A on it, it will have issues crashing due to not being able to load the Evo model. This would also be why it reportedly crashes during the logo screen too. For a long time, I wondered why this would have so easily slipped by the developers, however I've recently done experiments trying different cartridges, and using my original N64 hardware I've actually never been able to replicate this issue. I've tried many carts without issues, but ended up just keeping these 2, neither of which have any issues nor did the others. I wondered, is it possible some of the non Rev A carts still worked fine, or is it dependent on certain models of the N64 itself? This information may exist already, but it's a pretty obscure issue with a pretty niche game, so I was curious to see other people's experiences, opinions or information on the subject. Thanks all!

I saved up to buy an n64 just for it to look really bad I'm on a smart Samsung tv with av ports and maybe it's the games I have (quake 2 and automobil Lambo) but they look blurry as anything
