    Good lord, it doesn’t even have a cover for the expansion pak.

      Wait, you were supposed to cover it? But how else are you supposed to let others know your N64 is capable of running DK64 without crashing?

      The cover was for when you didn’t have the expansion pak. It covered the default memory pak.

      The expansion pak had a red top that filled the space the cover took up. Making the cover obsolete.

      OP does not have an expansion pak.

        Ignoring the fact that the N64 pictured has a jumper pak inserted, someone else replied with an expansion pak under the cover. What are you on about.

        The cover actually fits on top of the expansion pack.

        The people upvoting OP and downvoting you have no clue what they’re taking about.

        The photo is of a jumper pack, which did come with the console. If removed, the console will not power on. It is NOT a 4MB expansion pack…

        All the jumper pack in the photo does is bridge the pins so the console turns on.

        Right on the front of the console, with the red banding. The system didn’t come with it. It was only needed for one game (DKC64), which it came bundled with.

          :/

          Until I zoom right in, it looks grey like the game cartridge in that photo. I’m mistaken on its size, could have sworn it took up the covers space.

          It was required for more games though. Majoras Mask for example.

      Those cookies are absolutely disgusting. I can’t help myself but eat like the whole container.

      Just sugar cookie frosting crack.

      Then I end up convulsing on the floor from sugar overload.

    I really wish old consoles didn’t usually need old TVs to work well. I used to have a N64, NES, and PS2, but I sold them all because I was moving and didn’t want to schlep the absurdly heavy 2004ish plasma TV I had to play them on.

      Brother, have you heard of our lord and savior, emulation?

      Outside of a few weird edge cases, everything up through N64 era is easily emulatable. PS2 is… okay for most popular games but still actively being worked on.

      There’s even video shaders if you want to make it look like your old boxy TV. A lot of games from that era have graphics made with CRT screens in mind.

      Here’s the wiki maintained by people from 4chan’s Emulation General thread.

      Edit: I get the preference for original hardware, but if space/money are limited, it’s a more than passable alternative.

        When was the last time you looked at ps2 emulation? Less than 2% 1% of all ps2 titles are unplayable, and everything that I have tried playing works great.

        Also, every Nintendo console works amazingly well, and the switch actually sometimes has performance improvements on some games.

        PS3 emulation is doable on a good PC, same with Xbox, though I haven’t tried any newer generations than that.
