  • Getting an s-video cable was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, lol. It looks really good through a decent CRT. Its still a very blurry console but the extra bit of visual fidelity makes a huge difference.

    I’m not opposed to upscaling if its done really well, playing the switch online n64 games with the switch online n64 controller is a really good experience. But I have no interest in playing those games, I’m really enjoying diving deep into the library.




  • They’re pretty much LIKE new, but no they aren’t sealed, they feel like they were barely used tho.

    I’m not a collector, n64 is the only console I play on real hardware, and I use an ever drive, not real carts. Controllers are the thing I care about a lot tho. For most consoles I have USB or Bluetooth controllers that replicate the original feel, either the Nintendo switch online options or a ps3 controller for ps2, etc. The real n64 with s-video into a real CRT is the only extravagance I indulge myself with. I did preorder the analogue 3d and the NSO n64 controller is actually very good, so I’m looking forward to playing around with that, but n64 is a console that benefits a lot from a real CRT, so I “need” good real controllers


  • Yeah, they aren’t sealed (though I would absolutely open them if they were, the allure of playing with a 10/10 stick is too great. Maybe when communism comes I’ll take an extra dangerous job to earn the privilege.)

    Its possibly to just squirt some lube in from outside and call it a day, but I really SHOULD open it and get to the parts you can’t reach from there. It would be irresponsible to let these controllers degrade any faster than they have to.

    Edit: I just noticed you said dry lube, I dont know anything about that, does it work pretty good? Would it maybe distribute itself better than a liquid lube?
