This is the Nintendo 64 you want. 

One thing you missed: You need some of the 4Layer Forever Pack memory cards. They don't have a battery (like in the official memory cards) so you don't have to worry about losing your saves.

I am getting back into N64 i Finally took it out of storage its cool to see the N64 still gling strong

I'd highly recommend getting a Retrofrog Wireless Dongle support for Retro Fighter's or Retrobit's controllers. The dongle support prevents the controller's receiver's weight from adding stress in the port because over time, the weight of the receiver can damage the interior. Between the 2 wireless controllers, I find Retrobit's N64 Tribute to be the better one. Feels less cheap and more comfortable.

I’m down to try these wireless controllers but why is no one talking about the modded OG controllers with the GameCube joysticks?

Just discovered your channel and has dhown me some great stuff for N64. I had one back in school in 1998 and now i want one again lok

I'm not just trolling or being awkward but I switched off immediately when the first thing you added was the Retro Fighters controller. Looks the part, perhaps, but the stick sensitivity/gate on this thing is all wrong. Makes playing some games excruciatingly either twitchy or dull.

This Nintendo 64 took me years to get all the different parts but I’m very happy with it! What are some of your favorite mods for the 64?

Well I have the N64 with S-Video and a RetroTink 2X Pro (which was $130 when I bought it)...but I've just been debating for the last 9 months or so to splurge on the Everdrive 64 X7 or just go with an ED64 Plus. I obviously know which is better...but the X7 is TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS...before shipping and tax and I still need to buy the MicroSD card. So it's roughly $250 when all is said and done...and every time I'm close to pulling the trigger, I pull back. Christmas time usually affords me some disposable income (I get money from family every year)...but $250 is still steep. Steep enough that it makes me question my monetary decisions. There's a lot of positives to consider, but something always makes me think otherwise. If it was $100 cheaper, I would have had it by now.

this dude kept improving himself, theese videos are inspiring

My only complaint with the N64 is that even with an HDMI output card being installed, the graphics will always look horrible on an HDTV. There are so many artifacts, triangular dithering, blurry filtering, and a number of other unappealing graphical artifacts that appear to be difficult to remove. Take Star Fox 64. It looks horrible due to dithering. It would have to be stripped out of the code itself before it ever hit the video processor in the N64, and I'm not sure how that could be done after trying to look into it. In essence, I gave up on the original console and started playing N64 games on other systems because they look much better that way.

I came to the N64 party late and I love this console. My current setup is EverDrive64, BlueRetro wireless adapter + NSO N64 controller, shielded S-video cable into a RetroTink5X

The original controllers have their benefits. When the control stick is in good condition on an original controller, it is actually significantly more precise than modern controllers. Modern control sticks can feel far too sensitive in some games, making fine and precise adjustments much more difficult. Modern control sticks use potentiometers, whereas the N64 original controllers use optical sensors which are actually more precise. The huge downside of the old N64 sticks is that they degrade relatively fast over time, though you can reduce the rate of this by using silicon based lubricant (either powder or gel). Brand new OEM controllers are highly valued by many speed runners, but my own personal opinion is also that OEM controllers in good condition feel better in some games because of how precise they feel. You can buy replacement parts which are more or less the same as the factory original parts, but they seem to be a little bit less consistent and a little less precise than the originals, but the parts are cheap and relatively easy to replace yourself, and even if it's not getting quite as good as a brand new OEM control stick, it will likely be far superior to a control stick which has seen significant wear. The only good brand I know for those is Kitch Bent. The parts for a full replacement come to around 6 USD, but you'll want to buy a bunch at once to save on shipping costs, which could be around 10-20 USD (or more) depending on where you're ordering from. There are also metal control stick parts which significantly improve the reliability of the sticks, and will retain the precision of a brand new control stick for a long time (though they are not all equal, as different people have made them). Nobody has ever managed to produce them quickly enough to meet demand, so people have often had to wait YEARS before getting them, and some people have gotten screwed over by sellers who took their money and then never filled the order. Good quality metal control sticks are HIGHLY prized by speed runners, and have sometimes sold for thousands of dollars.

I'd say getting the NSO N64 Controller with a BlueRetro Bluetooth Adapter is better than the Brawler when it comes to playing the games as they're designed to. The Brawler is more sensitive and in FPS games this is noticable. Rumble works accurately and the BlueRetro has 4 memory slots. Only hassle is that in order to use the memory slots you have to connect to the BlueRetro adapter via Phone/PC bluetooth and format the memory slots in order to use them in games but once that's done it's smooth sailing.

Wireless controls, no thanks , I stick with wired like a normal person

Can the Retro Brawlers be wired and w9uld you recommend them to be wired?

Video converter not recommended going from s-video to hdmi?

Where can I get one?

Is there an ever drive that all ready has the nes games snes comparable and 64 rom hacks on it I dont really want to to fidgit with sd cards

Well my #1 favorite is Banjo - Kazooie.

👍

You got a new sub 😁

Nope won't resell, I have the special edition pikschu n64, along with the controller, both still in great condition

Soooo........it should be called the 4 most common mods.
