Re: Rareware games on the N64: NTSC vs. PAL

No worries & sorry to hear that - hope things get easier for you soon :(

If anyone else knows of any more I'll be interested but for now I'll say thanks very much for your insights - I've deserted my NTSC Goldeneye save and started again in PAL to appreciate the game in a new way.

Cheers :)

Re: Rareware games on the N64: NTSC vs. PAL

I agree - after a bit of research I think you're absolutely in right that Project 64's frame rate can't be relied on to match the real hardware. Although we both observed by eye that the PAL version of Goldeneye doesn't appear to be slower it would be good to know more precisely. As you say, I guess...

Re: Rareware games on the N64: NTSC vs. PAL

If I remember correctly the emulator does run at normal speed - I might be wrong though. Theres a 60Hz tweak for Goldeneye and some other games that aren't frame rate locked. You can also switch off the frame rate limiter but that just runs the whole thing as fast as your PC can handle it - the game...

Re: Rareware games on the N64: NTSC vs. PAL

Again, I think you're right! Or at least that the frame rates are very similar. This is really interesting as I've didn't know that there were any N64 games that ran in true 288p with a comparable framerate to their NTSC counterparts. From your observations it sounds like the PAL version of Perfect ...

Re: Rareware games on the N64: NTSC vs. PAL

Well it turns out you're right, nice detective work! The thing that initially threw me was that the more prominent scan lines of the NTSC version can give the appearance of a sharper image, especially on an aperture grille display. The only thing that puts me off the PAL versions of these games is t...

Re: Rareware games on the N64: NTSC vs. PAL

Thanks for that :) I can't tell from the photos if they are truly 288p but I don't doubt you as you've obviously been thorough in your investigations! Just out of interest, how did you get the definitive readings that the images are 288p? What I mean is how did you for sure tell that they were that ...

Re: Rareware games on the N64: NTSC vs. PAL

Hi Radorn :) Are you sure about this? I'm a bit of an obsessive about the N64's image and have both PAL and NTSC RGB modified N64s connected all the time to a very low use (around 100-200 hours) pre-100Hz Sony CRT (absolutely no image processing). A low use CRT like this is a great way of observing ...

Re: N64 HDMI converter thread

Great videos megalomaniac - shows that you're a decent guy and have good skills. I'm in the UK but I think I'll do the same as the French guy and get an N64 shipped to you from US ebay if that's OK. I'll send you a PM through your site..
