Why did my Nintendo 64 and SNES cartridge stop working?
About 15-years-ago, I was messing around with a Game Shark I owned for my N64. I stuck a cartridge of Super Mario World into the top of the Game Shark while it was in my Nintendo 64, and turned on the power to my N64.
The N64 immediately stopped working, and was never able to be turned on, again. (The power wouldn't even come on.) And my copy of Super Mario World would no longer play in my Super NES.
Can anyone explain what happened? And why the Game Shark killed both my Nintendo 64 and Super NES game?

If I had to guess, it's because SNES games are not made to plug into n64 stuff, you probably shorted out both the console and game. What were you thinking?

Why the fuck would anyone do that?

But why would that short-out the console and game cartridge? I don't get how connecting the wrong software-to-hardware would fry them both? And why didn't it kill the Game Shark, as well?

I started Fallout1.
I checked option 'run always'. and I had runned very well. but suddenly I can't run.
someone adviced 'press shift or double click'. but still walk.
how to fix it? is that the bug???
Oh my god
crippled left leg lolol
what's the reality lol
Use Doctor on yourself. I want remember if there are hospitals in game. Also I think carrying weight might slow you down being over-encumbered.

Hey, I've run into a problem with my Nintendo 64...
After I bought it, I tested Bomberman 64 and Mortal Kombat 4 and he system worked fine. Then a friend came over and his Conker's wouldn't run on mine even though it ran fine on his N64. I thought it was just due to the old cartridge.
Yesterday I bought OoT, Mystical Ninja and Super Mario 64. Both Mystical Ninja and Super Mario 64 worked fine, but OoT won't work the same as Conker's:
Screen is black, and then sort of flashes with some sort of interference. I tried cleaning the Zelda...

Does it have the ram cart (xpansion pak) installed? I think its needed for conkers
>>3231537
Conker doesn't at all support the Expansion Pak
>>3231537
Yup, as I said in the original post changing the expansion pak to the jumper pak or vice-versa made no effect.
But both Conker's and Zelda don't need the expansion pak.
Did Genesis or Super Nintendo have the better version of Earthworm Jim 2?
I know SNES' EJ1 was worse by having less stages and lower quality music, but not sure about the sequel...
Both are good but I find the SNES version to have slightly better controls and this time there's not a big difference like on EWJ1, it's pretty solid on SNES as well.
In terms of graphics and sound, the Saturn version is the best, but the controls aren't as tight.
>>3230860
It's all opinions. I tend to think the SNES version is best but interestingly enough there is something unique to every version. I tend to love eye candy so I'll be intricate.
EWJ2 on the MD visually is a lot closer to the MD version of the first game. The backgrounds are one layer and one layer only. They often follow you anytime you go anywhere. In the SNES version of both games, this changes.
In this version, Jim's A Blind Cave Salamander has a wiggle effect applied to the stage.

Well done.
Does anyone here have any experience on burning EPROMs? particularly Snes ROMs.
Long story short, last month i went to a vidya convention and found some guy selling Snes multicarts, i bought 3 at $35 each, with bretty gud games that go for at least 50 each on the Resellers Bay.
So, i took them to a friends house to play some Turtles in Time and another guy there asked me if i wopuld sell it to him is aid well how much would you offer... $70 bucks and i said yep.
so i made %100 profit and now other guy wants to buy another one of mine, so im seeing a business...

You'd probably fuck it up. Just order the kit on aliexpress and follow the chinkshit instructions you flaming homosexual newfag nigger bitch pussy fuccboi

?
this is the store where you can get the boards in case anyone is interested
https://mortoffgames.com/index.php?search[keywords]=Creation&_a=category
Now i need to either find a cheap sub $50 EPROM programmer that lets me burn pic related, or find a guy who sells already burnt Snes EPROMs so i can just mount them on the boards.
If you really want to become a repro/multicart seller, be careful, you can end up becoming a living meme.
What happens if you phone 1-800-idgames?
it's a 1-800 number faggot, just call it
>>3230390
probably a sex hotline, like the one from who framed roger rabbit on NES is.
>>3230390
Shame nobody from old iD is left to answer the number. Could be a private line to Tom Hall or something?
Handhelds that predate the Gameboy thread.

Loved these things when I was younger. Too bad I don't have them anymore.
I feel like collecting them again.
>>3230412
They're expensive as holy fuck now. Sometimes surpassing Earthbound prices. It's completely retarded.

Yeah everyone knows earthbound is the rarest video game of all time

I like Uncharted Waters 2, but this is me playing it.
how interested would you guys be if I start remaking for modern pcs old school and ancient arcade games?
I'm a 1MA and have skills in everything, from music to 2D/3D, writing in tacospeak and coding.
pic related is my pixel art skill.

Make your own game instead.

is this some new gender you faggots call yourselves?
Anyone else think its weird that the "must have" nintendo games now are just sequels / remakes of N64 shit? No lie i think nintendo would sell a fuckton of consoles if they made a "new n64" that was backwards compatible but also had modern 3d card with "new" n64 games.
I haven't seen a N64 remake that's worth a damn.
At best they're decent like some of the DS games.
The OoT remake is trash and stupid bright for no reason.
The MM remake just removes things altogether.
Both those games completely ruined the atmosphere and creepiness.

What stuck out to you about the battle system? For me it was being able to micro manage every character at the same time.
Also are there any turn-based jrpgs where you can create your own character? Something high fantasy besides the DS Dragon Quest game.
>>3225740
Etrian Odyssey is the only example I can think of.

>Also are there any turn-based jrpgs where you can create your own character?
HEY GUYS. HE WANTS TO KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY ROLEPLAYING GAMES WHERE YOU CAN, GET THIS...MAKE YOUR OWN CHARACTER! LOLOLOLOL
>>3225740
>micro manage
Only a few games do this, managing skill slots and equipment is hardly micromanagement.
Honestly, most turn based RPGs are pretty primitive to this day, the genre has been stagnating since a long time, though what genre didn't at the end of the day?
If you ask me, I like the fact that the actually good ones require planning, I like games where you have to balance out the odds in your favour and figure out things, the turn based elements also give you some pretty...

The shit that today's games don't have and experiences only retro gaming can provide.

Literally the point in retro gaming, where modern gaming does it better.
Good games.
