Concerning the resolution, it is really not that bad. I have no idea if they are using some kind of upscaler in the emulator, I am thinking that they are because that would be the only way to deal with the difference. Here are a couple of pics, first the smoothing effect, which is a slight blur, and then the sharp. I tried to use a ruler to show the size of the pic, but my phone did not pick up the lighting in the room that I saw.

I found these cartridges on Ali Express. But there is a place on line that have other games, they even have NES and SNES games on cart for the N64. The site is Vintex 64. I am going to need to save up my funds, sell a few games so that I can make an order from them. Their shipping is $35 set fee for the US which includes import fees. The game I got from Ali Express were about $16 with a $6 shipping. So, factoring the shipping, they are costing $20 plus. Not a bad price considering the price of games and for what they are. When I make an order from Vintex I want to order as many games as I can in order to reduce the pain of the shipping.

At one point, I had a Super GameBoy adapter to play GB and GB Color games on the SNES. I eventually let it go only because Metroid II was the only game that I ever really used it to play.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 23, 2026, 11:39:27 AMNice! This is pretty interesting. LOL... and yes... the concept is a bit insane, @retro junkie 
How much are the carts when you found them and picked them up? My Mind is still a little blown on this one. How skewed is the resolution on screen?
There was a Game Boy Player on the Gamecube that fit onto the bottom of the Gamecube. I used to use this somewhat frequently back in the day around the same time the Game Boy Advance SP came out.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 22, 2026, 05:19:10 PMQuote from: retro junkie on April 22, 2026, 03:59:16 PMI remember paying $149 for mine way back after the release. I wanted the yellow one so bad. And this color was the only one available. It is a nice size for the console. Price increases really hurt.
How did you end up getting yours for $149? The MSRP was $199 from launch. That's an amazing deal!

Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Re: Happy Pokémon Day - 30 Yea...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 22, 2026, 11:56:25 AM@Mai Valentine --> You know... I completely forgot there was a Pokémon Anime from the 90's. I never did watch it but remember it was a thing (now).
The Pokemon Winds and Pokémon Waves games look interesting. I like the look of the water landscapes. I also really liked Zelda Wind Waker (though... I initially hated on this game hard before it was released). Once I played that game, I really dug the style. The screenshots didn't do it justice.

General Discussion / 30 Years of Resident Evil
Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 21, 2026, 08:21:22 PMAs of march 2026... this marks 30 years of Resident Evil. Time is sure flying. I've never been the biggest fan of the series, but This is significant and games are still being made. I have purchased and played many of the games back in the day... with the Gamecube games making the biggest impact and being my favorite. The gamecube versions were highly sought after and are still sought after.
One story from the years of playing, @SpartanEvolved and I used to play Resident Evil 5 or 6 on Steam together. There was this scene where you had to run down stairs. I was using a keyboard and mouse to play... and it is literally impossible to make a few turns on the keyboard... you literally had to use a controller. We were trying to 100% Complete the game and couldn't finish because of that issue LOL
Also - Resident Evil Requiem is a new game that just came out for the 30th anniversary... and is out now. Here is the Resident Evil Requiem topic (click)
What has been your experience with Resident Evil over the years? Thoughts, comments... post it up!
