    Back in the day, there was nothing better than popping in your favorite cartridge and spending hours on the Nintendo 64. No matter how long you actually played the console, there were likely some hidden features you had no clue the console could do. Learn about these various tricks and consider dusting off the old thing to try them out for yourself!
    If you love the Nintendo 64 controllers or emulating classic games on the computer, then you can actually use the original controller designs. A USB adapter allows two controllers to be plugged into the same USB port and can be used for a variety of games. The Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color had little interaction until a Pokemon game gave players a way to play Game Boy on a full-sized TV. The original NES power glove was a big bust, but that didn’t stop developers from creating a rare glove design for the N64. The clunky accessory wasn’t used for any exclusive game, but did provide some fun. The N64 expansion pak was essential for some games, but it also added a lot enhancements to other titles. Online gaming was not used on the standard N64, but players who got their hands on the N64DD could actually go online with various games. The N64 only plays N64 cartridges, but a third-party accessory allowed players to play both older NES and Super Nintendo games they still have laying around. Special versions of the N64 controller were actually used as television remotes. If you didn’t like the controller, the N64 also released a special mouse and keyboard package for the 64DD. A lot of countries got exclusive N64 games and you could get your hands on them thanks to a special region-free add-on. Online access and email could be obtained through a special N64 add-on known as Sharkwire. Watch to see all of these hidden things your Nintendo 64 could do!

    When I was a kid my parents couldn't afford to get me a Nintendo 64 for Christmas, and miraculously my mother won one from Taco Bell. They had a promotion running called "score 64 and win". My mom was really depressed at how me and my brother only asked for the one shared gift, and we couldn't afford it, she had a dream that night in which she saw my dead grandfather on the beach and he told her everything was gonna be okay. The next day she stopped at taco bell drive through for a soda after work (something she'd never done before), and peeled off the label on the cup and found out that we won. On Christmas day after me and my brother opened all our gifts, we tried to not let the disappointment on our faces show because we knew the situation, and while we hadn't gotten what we hoped for, we didn't want it to show. My parents then had us open this one last gift. Me and my bro unwrapped a plastic taco bell cup, (the 64 hadn't arrived in the mail yet) and were confused until they said "read it", we did, and we lost our minds with happiness. You always see those contests, and you think nobody ever wins, but they do. Till this day, I still can't believe it happened, and made it the most memorable Christmas of my life. God is good.

    Let me save your time and summarise the video:
    10 Cool Things You Had No Idea Your Old Nintendo 64 Could Do:
    1. A company made a third party device that lets you connect N64 controllers to your PC.
    2. The game Pokémon Stadium comes with a device that lets you play Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow though an N64.
    3. A company made a third party controller in a glove style.
    4. Nintendo released an Expansion Pak for the N64. It is required for some games, and improves performance on some others.
    5. Nintendo released an N64 add on in Japan that would allow it to connect to the internet.
    6. A company made a third party device that lets you play NES and SNES games on an N64.
    7. Nintendo had a deal to put N64s in some hotels.
    8. That add on in number 5 came with a mouse and keyboard.
    9. A company made a third party device to let you play foreign region locked games on an N64.
    10. A company made a third party device that could download cheat codes from the internet for your N64.
    So, that's 0/10 that my N64 can do without buying other products...

    Since we got blueballed on shit the N64 can *actually* do, here's one:
    If you disassemble your N64, there is a grey plastic housing for the bottom of your cartridges. With some snips, cut the corners out of it carefully. Your console can now play Japanese region games flawlessly. They are significantly cheaper than American copies, and a lot of the games you care about are very playable with zero Japanese.

      I fail to realize why anyone would want to pay those outrageous rental prices just to save a backpack worth of stuff. I mean the N64 was sorta big, but it was not as thick as the Xbox (iir correctly) and the controllers could be stacked in a manner where they kinda scissored themselves and all of it combined only use up like the bottom half of a school backpack, where you can then throw clothes and toiletries on top... literally a large sized school backpack could carry all the essentials you need. You are a snob if you are just going to Disneyland or whatever tourist site for a week and can't be bothered to bring your N64 but be fine to pay $40 a day to play a video game. I remember being 15 when those things came to the televisions in Hotels, and I was glad I didn't have to be interrupted playing Majora's Mask every hour or so because I just decided to not be a lazy snob.

If it was only like 10 bucks a night I would have pushed for it, but the price was just stupid (and would have preferred multiplayer Goldeneye or something).

      The N64 was far too slow, and without the RAM expansion, it was horrible. Most of the N64 games were also actually 16MB and 32MB of storage, with only a couple of games actually using 64MB of storage due to the production cost of the 64MB cartridges. The N64 was completely out-classed by the PlayStation due to CD-R's. Technology won.

      @@WardenOfTerra you're remembering things wrong. The N64 had every advantage possible over the PlayStation at the time, with the exception of storage. The CD was good, but some of those games took minutes to load and usually the only downside to the n64 variant was less music.
      On the flip side the n64 was barely higher resolution and better frame rates for games on both consoles, and the 3d effect was top notch, not that glitchy mess the PlayStation had. It was a genuine powerhouse compared to the PlayStation

I remember reading this in my N64 gaming mag.

      lmao N64 and gamecube were never "Cutting edge" the hardware in them was simply made more acccessible than the hardware you'd need to build a beefy gaming PC back in the 90's because PC building was much more decentralized with lots of bits having specific connectors so they only worked with exclusive parts and firmware and software compatibility were still not universal, the closest you could get were 386s and 486s which were more expensive and in home adoption at the time.

    PSA: The memory pack upgrade was not a graphics processor, but simply more RAM for the system. The original advertisement made it out to be a device that made graphics look better, but in actuality, the N64 was (at stock) capable of producing finer graphics. The issue was that a cartridge could include "high res textures" and "more detailed polygon models", but had nowhere to dump these high res files because they wouldn't fit in the stock RAM until you included the RAM upgrade... THEN the cartridge could dump the high res files onto the RAM and thus play a game that looks better. Some games included both the low res files and high res files and you simply enabled it in the game's options.

    Revolutionary in gaming. Nintendo never stops amazing. Something I can remember about the N64 was just one game called conkers bad fer day. The platform game aslo had a multi player shooter game where you can battle the computer. This is common even for that time, but this was the first game and only game I ever found to have a type of AI built in. Yes, it is true. I bought 2 games to prove it. On the multiplayer mode you can set your opponents to Einstein and this made them learn how you played and mimic it or change to an aggressive play style depending on how you played. You could literally teach the game how you want to do battle and build off of it. If you start using a secret path to grab the bazooka, the computer will start to copy you. If you sit up in the crows nest waiting for the computer to use this secret path and only aim in that area, the computer will copy that, and come kill you first. It may work the first few times you do this, but if you never did the secret path in the first place, the computer will not learn how to get the bazooka. This is the only game I found that has an AI like this, and this game is on the N64. Later was brought to the xbox, but I don't know if it has the AI or not.

      Perfect Dark and Goldeneye had similar bots. But sorry to burst your bubble they aren't learning from you. They are just programmed to be super hard. In Perfect Dark the Perfect sims can see you through wall and have a wide area radar effect. It makes it seem like they are anticipating you but really they are just killing you in some way possible. Truly adaptive A.I (although boasted since the NES by some games) didn't really exist until the era of Xbox and Ps2.

    The TriStar 64 didn't function as an emulator - it contained cloned copies of the innards of the NES and SNES.
    It was like stacking an 8 bit and 16 bit console atop your shiny new N64, which only served to provide power and controls.
    The TriStar 64 even had its own video output, which used a cable from the N64's own video out as a pass-through when playing N64 games on it, which would be the only time it used the N64 hardware for running game code.

    for people wondering how to set up a regular controller for your n64 emulator try this.
    left dpad and joystick, L and R, Start are the same.
    Z is L2, C buttons are the 4 buttons on the other side, B is L2 and A is y+ (y+ is up) on the second joystick. depending on the game I would recommend setting L2 as the more commonly used button and flicking the right joystick up as the least used. This is probably as close as you're going to get with a normal controller.

    Might wanna do a little more research on the expansion pack. That thing was just fix for bugs they couldn't fix before the release of dk64. All the games can still run without it if you can bypass the boot up screen, and in actuality the increased resolution often caused games to run more slowly due to hardware restrictions.
