does an N64 Flashcart exist? I'm totally new to the N64. I was 7 when the N64 came out. I wanted one so bad as a kid, asked Santa for one. Totally heartbroken at the time. Parents saw how much Nintendo 64 games costed at the time and decided not to get one. I wanted to get the M64 when it comes out but I honestly don't know much about the N64 really. What games are good for the N64? Does a flashcart exist for the N64?

Considering it didn't seem like you could turn off the horrendously aggressive bilinear filtering, probably not a good idea. Few want to see a snot smeared Street Fighter Alpha

Edit: Adding on John Carmack's reply as well that Palmer reposted

> Yeah, just doing 60 fps 2D games with subpixel filtering, blending, scaling, rotation, and no hard tile boundaries would have allowed some very strong new designs.
