a z64 can load 320mbit games but not 512mbit because i have done it.if you have one you should try it,it works.

Well duuh! I could load Resident Evil 2 on a Doctor V64 128mbit too, but that doesn't mean that I am able to play it. Shake your heads until you get it right, you will never be able to play Conker or Paper Mario on your Z64, CD64 or V64s, may take a lot of shaking though.

NEW PALFIX FROM D_TRON

INDIANA JONES & THE INFERNAL MACHINE

USA

[ DOWNLOAD ]

This fix has a nice little feature which turns the green blood into red! :)

So what's all this bitching about you might say? Ok here it goes, as we all know both Conker and Paper Mario are above 256mbits (320 and 512mbit) and the mails are comming from Z64 owners requesting cracks for their copier, keep in mind that the Z64 is 256mbit max.

Is it really that hard to understand that you cannot load 512 or 320mbit into 256mbit ram? Some people tend to think that you can load the first half now and the 2nd half later as you progress in the game, which seriously is just too stupid as that's not how a ROM image works, the whole thing needs to be loaded at once.

Lets take the latest mail arriving in the mailbox:

Dude isn't it quite obvious why you cannot run it? I mean geez. You don't seem to know one bit about what you're doing, so buy the cartridge instead and you should be safe.

Has a little between the ears as he knows his Z64 is 256mbit, but seriously if such a thing existed don't you think it would be all over the place?

Finally a mail from someone who just is too fucking stupid and should be locked up.

Hello. I've heard about 64Scener for awhile, but honestly, I have no idea what the hell the entire site is about. Is it about emulation? What is all this Z64 talk? How did you get Conker so quick? Dizzamn!

I know I sound like a child with all these "huh? huh? HUH?" questions, but I guess we have to get it all out somehow ;)

Again people IF there was a way to modify your Z64 to run 256mbit+ games, don't you think the information would be widely available? like here, and even dextrose? From what I understand the Z64 hardware is not designed to handle larger than 256mbit RAM, and it never hurts to buy a game and support the greedy Nintendo a little, hey if you buy Conker we might even see more of these games in the future.

I just had to bitch a little today as I'm so tired of listening to stupid, sad, gits wondering why Conker won't run on their Z64 system and constantly trying stupid things to see if there is some way to get it running, there isn't atm (and probably never will be since the N64 is dead in a few months and MrBackup won't bother then).

Publisher Vatical Entertainment said that VR Powerboat has yet to begin production, so it's doubtful that they'll even concidering starting developing it. Carnivale which has been bouncing on and off the list, which by the way is based on a movie that never happened, is said to be 50-60% complete, but because of problems at the developer house it might never be finished, although Vatical is currently looking for someone else to take over the project.

It seems that Vatical have confirmed that we definately will see atleast one more game from their part, the long awaited Sea-Doo HydroCross, erh not. It has recently been passed on to the Mario Club for reviewing, but seriously what does a game hungry company do? not bin it I bet!

It's definately a game you gotta own, I'll be sure to get a copy when it arrives in Europe, which is said to be November or December (gah!), let's hope Australia gets it earlier like Banjo Tooie, cause it's too brilliant to not owning the original cartridge.

ANOTHER NEW N64 GAME ARRIVES ON THE LIST
Although this time its on the japanese list. Echo Delta (by Nintendo) may now never see a release date, but Culture Brain then steps in with a game, Hamster Monogatari 64 (Hamster Tale 64). The game is the virtual pet style, or as Culture Brain pute it; a hamster training simulation game. I doubt this is something to look forward to, but its nice to see a new title appearing on the release list.

Screenshots from the PlayStation version.

Last month ign64.com reported another two games added to the Japanese list, one being a Konami title, Powerful Pro Baseball BASIC Ver. 2001 and another title (by?) called Derby Stallion. According to Konami of Japan's homepage we can expect the baseball game next month, 03.29.2001.

GAMETEK RETURNS?
I don' t know if you've noticed, but the gametek.com domain has been bought again. Remember the company behind the most famous unreleased N64 game, Robotech Crystal Dreams?

Well they did close down and sold off all assets, however the gametek.com address has been active for some time now, only hasn't shown anything, until now. A cheesy logo appears as well as three non-working buttons.

I'm not sure if it may be a new company using the same name, can they do that?, or just some fan making a site about the company. The domain is owned by a student at UMICH and was bought on Dec 3rd 1999, but nothing has appeared there until now. I've ofcourse contacted the guy asking about the site, so if I ever get a reply, I'll let you know :)

I've created a little teaser for all you Z64 and V64 owners, check it out here (warning it may ruin some of the fun if you ever get to play the game).

Also, to all you who wanna play Banjo Tooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day (if you have a V64jr512 or E64) and keep requesting cracks for these. Get your ass off the chair and go buy Donkey Kong 64 or Perfect Dark, these two carts will allow you to both boot and save in BT and Conker.
Or you could buy Banjo Tooie!! :)

I doubt any of you are so poor that you cannot afford to buy one game.
