Calling all CRT nerds!
My neighbor just left this bad boy out by the curb and I scooped it up thinking it would be perfect to set up N64 on. Went searching for inputs and all I could find was this coaxial connection in the back. Is my only good option spending $30 on a coaxial to composite adapter? It’s an ORION TV1926A. Thanks in advance!
Imagine if the Nintendo 64 had received more support from third-party developers, what games would have you liked to see on the system?

First time running through Paper Mario as fast as I can with base HP!
I just finished up a playthrough of Paper Mario 64! I like to play on my original N64 cartridge I’ve had since early childhood.
This is one of my main comfort games. I’ve beaten it many times over the years, but this was my first attempt at trying to run through it as fast as possible while keeping base HP.
I hit the final save block in exactly 8 hours! I don’t know if that’s good or not compared to other people here, but I’m happy about it.
Oh yeah, and those other 3 save files are files I made when I was 5-8ish years old. 😅🤣 I will always keep them there as a preservation of my child self. Any time I decide to play again I just restart the game on file 4.
Anyways, yeah. Thought this was fun. Now to do it faster!
Body Harvest - Question about Final 3 Levels
This is a strange one I’m hoping someone can answer.
Body Harvest has 6 worlds/levels. I live in Australia and am not sure if this was a PAL or region based thing, but I could never play the last 3 levels of the game. After completing the USA map, the game just ended for me. At first I thought it was because I was playing on the lower of the two difficulties (Zero, not Hero). But I’m sure I tried it on Hero as well and the same thing happened.
Was I missing some trigger that would open the other three levels? This has been bugging me for nearly 30 years.
Super Mario 64: defective cartridge?
Hi! I just joined this sub specifically because Super Mario 64 is my favorite video game of all time (Disclaimer: I am not a gamer!) and I recently dusted off the N64 to play it again. Unfortunately, it is completely disconnecting a few minutes or even most recently a few seconds into the game after the start menu and after choosing the save point. This has never happened to me with an N64 game so I’m wondering whether this is a sign of its death? Do I need to search eBay or whatever for another cartridge? Yes I blew on it lol. If I need to totally replace the cartridge, plz tell me the best place to get a reliable new copy. Thanks!
Bottom EXT socket removal without issue?
I'm currently in the planning stages to repack an N64 into a smaller case.
I plan to use the hispedido HDMI so I can remove the old AV connection.
I plan to use the Giltesta USB-C kit to remove the old power brick.
this is freeing up loads of space at the back of the board.
part of my issue is the hdmi board is quite large and if I don't want to extend the case width wise then the bottom EXT slot is getting in the way to keep it compact.
I have dismantled many N64 and totally understand the slot is soldered in place, I'm more than comfortable getting the slot off. iv done loads of research on it but I cannot find anything to suggest if it would affect any part of the game cartridge slot working?!
thanks for any advice in advanced.
Should I trade Smoke Grey n64 for a fantastic grape?
Ive always wanted a grape n64 but ended up with a green one and then more recently picked up a smoke one for pretty cheap. Someone is selling one on facebook and I was wondering if I should ask them to trade.
