        The cover actually fits on top of the expansion pack.

        Source: I went and looked at my N64 😄

          :/

          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.

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

        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.

    My jam was some Zelda, sour cream and onion chips, and a 2 l bottle of either diet coke or cream soda. This photo filled me with so much nostalgia.

    You might be joking, but I’d have that every night, retro consoles never get boring!

    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.

        I rock my old Apple color monitor for my old consoles. The same one I’ve been rocking since I was a kid. Gotta smack it from time to time. I’ll change the capacitors one day.

      Mario Kart is nothing. Bring out the Mario Party. You may never see the people you’re with ever again.

    You’ve just ordered Pizza Hut and a 2L Mountain Dew. No school tomorrow. Your parents don’t care if you stay up all night long. A perfect Summer night. The year is 2024. You are 39 years old
