P2P programs suck, I hope you know that.

The game that burns the most in problems to me is Ogre Battle 64. Its good an all, but sometimes the backgrounds screw up, there was a codec for the video that fixed this problem.

i have that game for my N64. it is still probably one of the best rpgs i've played to date. i wonder how much the original game with box and instruction booklet is worth now.

 

[ChrisH36]

Probably 20 Dollars.

Yesh I know that!

Most N64 games aren't worth that much. Mario 64 is semi rare and at most it is around 15.

Starcraft, on the other hand, you'll be hardpressed to find anywhere, in any condition, for no less then $40...cept eBay, and I haven't checked there in a while.

Meh, that game was too easy. I also have the Super Mario 64 Shindou rom. I like F-Zero X the most. But ROM-wise, you need a special codec or settings that can prevent the bacckground from flashing black and the car colouring from screwing up.

Really? Because I saw that game for going for less than 5 on eBay.

I downloaded N64 games in bulk, so I basicly have like 400 games or something for N64 on my compter. if u need something *cough

Well, I have a gamepad, and it works 20x better than using a straight keyboard. Seriously, if you play Roms for any set period of time, it is an invaluable asset to get a controller for the computer. Also, hellwolf, N64 didn't have s Cstick, just 4 c buttons.

yeah no doubt i bought my first controller to play roms after about a year of playin with the keyboard. it was worth every penny trust me.

 

[Hitsua]

How much are these and where can I get one?

...cept eBay, and I haven't checked there in a while.

Try reading my posts.

You don't have to get a specific controller. There are other ways. Get yourself an average USB PC controller, and you'll be fine. Or, go to Lik-Sang.com and buy a proper converter for the controller of your choice.

 

[Hitsua]

I did read your posts, and if you can get them for less than 40 than the 40 is overpriced and can't be considered a real price.

 

[Biske]

Riiight.....and your point? I never said that that was the SRP or nothing, but everytime I see it at EB, or Babbages, or a reseller anywhere, they always jack that game up the most.

 

[Hitsua]

Ah. Sorry. Yeah, EB is way overpriced. It was like 20 for Zelda when I went there, and a lot less on eBay. I learned to never buy from them.

 

[Biske]

Yeah, I wanted to get some old party 64 games, like Mario Kart and Goldeneye a while back; one copy of Mario Kart, and it had been heavily used was $15. Screw that.

 

[Hitsua]

eBay it. Much cheaper.

 

[ChrisH36]

Then get a Paypal and wait for the activation codes, good luck kid!

 

[Venice_native]

I have a Paypal account and what activation codes are you talking about.

 

[ChrisH36]

Hmm, I guess it happened to my friend only. He said something about his activation and Paypal account not letting him buy things off Ebay, but that's what you get when your friend explains things too vaguely.

 

[Venice_native]

He probably didn't have a credit card to put on file...

 

[ChrisH36]

Well, I guess that probably was the problem.
