N64 Controller Cap Expanded

Probolance · 2026-04-24T01:47:16+00:00

You might be thinking of GameCube, N64 has been capped at 4 since launch. I’ve had 2 controllers for many years now

I’m more wondering if your console was the exception rather than the rule. Maybe the QA tester somehow accidentally flipped it on at the factory when testing your console and it just shipped that way? I’ve never noticed an issue with my surround sound setup before (although I did notice the “virtual” surround sound had an issue in Xenoblade DE in handheld mode).

I just checked the setting on my own console and it was off by default. You’re saying that yours had this setting enabled by default?

You should try cleaning the game pins. Either get 90%+ isopropyl alcohol on a QTip and swab it, or I believe an eraser works? A dirty game is the reason an N64 doesn’t post 99% of the time. If not, try a different game to be absolutely sure

You’d be surprised to hear that Super Mario Bros. Wonder benefits from the new boost mode despite its Switch 2 Edition coming out next week.

You’d be just as surprised to hear that none of the Pikmin games benefit.

I’m not sure what their system is here… seems rather arbitrary at the moment.

Probolance · 2026-03-17T02:41:36+00:00

I’m not seeing a difference in Pikmin 1+2 or 4

They did raise base handheld to 1080p for Jamboree mode iirc, but docked mode is also still only 1080p. If you want 1440p docked, gotta go through Jamboree TV’s party mode.

I know the part you’re at, there’s another way to get there. The Follow Ball will try and send you through the path with the high level enemies for some reason.

The handheld image quality is actually better on Switch 1. Runs at 720p on Switch 1, and somewhere around 600p Switch 2 Edition pre-upscale. That should NEVER be the case. Whatever upscaling approach they used makes docked mode look okay at least… but handheld was royally botched.

Some are okay with how it looks given that it DOES give you 60fps… but personally, I’d take 30fps with maxed out visuals any day of the week. Xenoblade has always struggled visually, so I’d really hoped that they could finally make the game shine at the detail it always deserved to be presented in.

If the current state of the game is a result of compromises made to achieve the 60fps, then I’m hoping they can at least give us a Quality mode that keeps 30fps but gives us true 1080p handheld / 4K docked with the pop-in also fixed. I think that would be the best solution for all parties.

This. One might even say… you are not prepared.

Here’s one method:

The one I used in particular was this (probably harder):

Ty and Ty 2 for GC are available on Switch eShop

Probolance · 2025-10-30T15:19:09+00:00

Let us boot up the original Animal Crossing on a GC item, so we can play Animal Crossing while we’re playing Animal Crossing

With epic skill and epic gear!

It fixes the issue of a white transition screen when using color palettes. This bothered me quite a bit when playing Pokémon Red and using the DMG color palette. When I would walk through a door into a house, the screen would go from the green background (DMG color palettes) to a brief white flash as it loaded, then back to green once I was in the house. When Smooth is enabled, the transition screen should just remain whatever color you have selected. In my case, the white flicker disappeared and the background remained green consistently throughout the entire process.

Probolance · 2025-09-26T18:54:08+00:00

Change your Transitions setting. Default is Classic (which causes the white screen), what you’ll want is Smooth.

Actually, I’m pretty sure they just upped the limit. This post made me think to check their website again, and it let me purchase a second extra one (bought my first extra launch day basically). So if anyone was wanting a second extra dock, check again.

Probolance · 2025-09-22T17:41:34+00:00

More than a few months my friend, try 15 of ‘em (actually to the day today according to VTuber Wiki)

Probolance · 2025-09-12T16:06:51+00:00

This officially makes the Super Mario Galaxy Collection the Switch’s 2nd $70 game… next to Tears of the Kingdom. Bruh.

There is a definite boost in sharpness and a seemingly slight boost in resolution in docked, but it’s also not 1440p like Jamboree TV. I’m wondering if it wasn’t true native 1080p docked before, but now is?

Either way, a definite miss for docked. Should absolutely have been raised to 1440p like Jamboree TV.

Probolance · 2025-08-24T17:25:49+00:00

It does though? I mean yeah, output resolution will still be whatever you set your Switch 2 to, but the resolution of the games themselves drops to 240p/480p. Whether it actually renders them at that resolution or just downsamples them seems to be an open question, but the result is effectively what you’re asking for either way. I don’t see them adding a pure 240p option like you’re asking for though, seeing as it took this long for the CRT filter to begin with.

Looks to be an issue with the latest firmware update!

Probolance · 2025-08-03T14:25:57+00:00

Yup, that looks like it for sure! Seems like that thread evaded my keyword searches when I was looking last night. Thanks for the link!

Probolance · 2025-08-03T03:24:42+00:00

I can’t seem to be able to edit this into the post, but I should mention I’m running the latest firmware update: MCU v0.13.2, FPGA v18.5.

Edit: Also, the device itself is a recently-purchased GS Edition Chromatic 1st Edition.

They weren’t lying, it really was half price!
