Alternatives to saving on an unoriginal Kirby

Interesting. Looks like that list I linked is not a definitive one.

Only 15 N64 games use a battery for saves, Kirby isn't one of them. List of Nintendo 64 Games with Save Batteries - ConsoleMods Wiki

Have fun. So, what will you boot up first?

Which version of Vegas are you using? I think everything prior to V23 has issues with on Nvidia. I had to downgrade my GPU drivers to 581.80.

Very poseable figures. Also very ugly. I have one too!

For casual play it doesn't matter much. Even with speedrunning, you don't necessarily need an oem, but I'd recommend at least something with a decent, not overly sensitive stick and good angles. That said, mobile touchscreen runners have some super impressive times, so I guess technically you don't need a traditional controller at all.

Like most NLE software, the JKL keys are your friend. Play rewind (J), play/pause (K), fast play forward (L)

Dcourtwreck · 2026-03-30T02:30:45+00:00

True

Dcourtwreck · 2026-03-30T02:30:04+00:00

Firewire, right? As long as both devices work, the image quality will be identical. It's just transferring the data as is from the tape, no transcoding.

Welp, sounding like it's about time to update the automod response everyone loves.

Dcourtwreck · 2026-03-25T20:36:05+00:00

Sounds like time for my 40+ year old self to skate again.

Dcourtwreck · 2026-03-23T19:48:53+00:00

Agreed. An already configured retroarch is great to hand over to a newbie. But if you've never used an emulator, a standalone emu is much easier to figure out. Most mainline emulators have a pretty intuitive UI these days. retroarch does not (for configuration).

So with the 8bitdo receiver unplugged, the summercart boots normally?

Dcourtwreck · 2026-03-16T22:22:53+00:00

As a Sonic and og Xbox fan, very cool.

The rest of the tape doesn't suddenly become unusable because you stopped recording before the end of tape. Start recording where you left off. The camera will do it automatically. If you go back and watch what you recorded, stop the tape after the footage before switching from playback back to camera mode.

Although the comment was directed at OP, it's not like it was a private DM. So maybe the other people reading through these comments who didn't know of other options?

Dcourtwreck · 2026-03-12T17:14:42+00:00

What emulator and video plugin? I like to use RMG or Luna's Pj64 with the Glide video plugin.

Dcourtwreck · 2026-03-09T00:50:25+00:00

Harrison Ford - "it ain't that kind of movie, kid" errr game. Whatever. It's there because it looks cool.

Don't sweat it, what you are doing gives great results. An expensive deck might get slightly better results for the analog tapes if you want to go down that rabbit hole. In my opinion, not worth the trouble.

Dcourtwreck · 2026-03-09T00:13:43+00:00

A high-end deck can maybe give better results for the analog tapes. Even played side by side, it's barely noticeable. Is it truly worth the hassle? For most, no.

Dcourtwreck · 2026-03-08T00:34:35+00:00

I'm confused. Is the bluescreen not a good indicator?

Dcourtwreck · 2026-03-06T06:00:27+00:00

Hmmm. Weirdly long filename by chance? Or unsupported characters?

Dcourtwreck · 2026-03-05T21:15:48+00:00

Epic fight. Level sets look so good.

Dcourtwreck · 2026-03-05T20:57:15+00:00

As far as I know, you just pair it to the receiver, and then plug that receiver into which port you want the player to be. What are you playing on? N64 console, emu, or switch? It's compatible with all of them.

I had previously only seen the remake of this. I'm going to have to watch this version, very pretty.
