thanks for the video. now that im an old man and have kids, i've dug my old n64 out of the attic and i picked up a few surprisingly cheap games on ebay. when they arrived, they were clearly repros. i want collectors to have their fun and make money, but i just needed someone to confirm i wouldn't blow up my childhood n64 with these knockoffs. i really appreciate the detail you went into

Nice channel

I somehow managed to find a repro cart of conker for like 8 bucks on eBay from a seller from china and I didn’t have a single issue with the game itself. I sadly forgot the name of the seller since this was like back in 2020. I don’t mind repro cartridges if you wanna play the game and don’t wanna pay an arm and a leg for an actual copy

fun fact: I edited this video

What? Used copy of Conkers bad fur day on eBay is like 20 bucks. lol 🤷🏻

Forget representation carts. When you can save yourself a lot of money by investing in buying EverDrive carts. Trust me you'll never have to deal with the after or collector's market ever again. And no it's not emulation. What an EverDrive does for people who don't know what they are. What it is is a cartage that uses an SD-card and it takes the ROMs just as you would use them on an emulator and plays them on real console hardware. But however they aren't cheap.

Reproduction is easy to go, for no one inntheir right mind is gonna pay the collector price, causebits just stupid

I tend to play all the retro games via emulators like Retroarch since they have Retroachievements for most of them now. The prices for authentic carts are just stupid, especially when the ROMs are readily available for free. I see no reason not to buy repro carts if you want to have physical games instead of ROMs.

i got a repro of majoras mask works flawlessly for 22 bucks cant beat it

I have a reproduction copy Super Smash Bros 64 and it’s still working had it over 2 years but the rest of my N64 games are official copies

Majoras Mask is like at least $70 so might look into reproduction

They work, but do the graphics look the same?

i have rare replay and it includes conkers bad fur day. i love using two joy sticks instead of one like the n64 has

Im not buying any new game till this market cools off.

At that point just get an ever cart

Do run into any glitches or game play issues or game save fails when playing these games?! Thanks in Advance Greg

Thank u for this. I bought one by accident not knowing this was a thing. N64 Mario. Hopefully it works good

Thanks man! I got an hdmi adapter and broke out the 64 on my kids. Just wanted to know my chances on buying a repo. I don't want to collect, I just wanna have fun with the family.

I have a few reproduction carts on the GameBoy but I resorted to EverDrives from the guy who makes them who lives in Ukraine. I got one for the GameBoy Color, N64, NES, Super Nintendo, and Sega Genesis. What's nice is you don't have to worry about your game files erasing or consistant freezng like from that Conker's Bad Fur Day Repro Cart, because it's all saved on the Micro SD Card so it's a problem with the cartridge and you can just replace the cartridge. I have Super Mario World Rom Hacks, Pokemon Rom Hacks even high quality ones like Prism, and Smash Remix all running on my Ever Drives for Super Nintendo, GameBoy, and N64. They are pricy but honestly man you start saving money instead. Repro Carts are a cool option imo because they look cool and to the common eye they look legit, but any N64 fan can tell when looking at them (as fresh and cool as they look) that we can spot a lot of differences on those things :)

Purist are only salty because there are less potential buyers. They lost the casual gamer because they arent going to spend 200 dollars when they can spend 20 dollars to relive their childhood

You have to jump three times as soon as soon as it Starts

Wow! 😮😅 awesome!

i have bought repo games from amazon they work just not for retro collecting btw original karts are epensive as hell

i only bought one repro so far and thats Mario Party 3. no issues yet. btw Beetle is one of my favorite 64 titles

Nice collection. Grats on 43 subs (50 at the time of this comment) Allow me to bring you to 51. Good luck with the channel!

Bro my guys selling his VHS collection. It's like ALMOST 3 walls

❤ "We want our .50¢ 😂

🎉🎉Yay! Congrats!

New sub man nice channel... I also support repros!!

Im not paying 1700000 pesos here in Colombia for Metroid Zero Mission or Conker dats more than minimum wage... Hey btw is that a 50 inch tv!? U use an hdmi adapter? Those games look beautiful there... Sharpp!!

Hey man amazing content and video! Conker is also one of my favorites... Very creative and artistic.... But damn fat last part with them nazi teddy bears was hard af hahaha

I went with an EZFlash for thr GBA games. I paid like 80 bucks for one game. Felt robbed. Put down 90 for an EZflash. 5000 games.

I have conkers fur day reproduction not sure if it will work on gameshark?

Had no idea n64's were region locked... The one i grew up with was already modded when I bought it!

For me, I don't mind repo carts as long as they are honest about it not being authentic, and the price reflects that. It's great for people who just want to play old games and still have a somewhat "tangible" collection to put on a shelf (over a flashcart or such), given the retro games market is a hyperinflated mess right now. It's only when repro carts are falsely sold as an authentic game, and charging authentic prices that I have an issue. As it stands, paying $20 USD for rare, hard-to-find games is great.

I think if we are going to be honest the retro scene is a mess right now you have scalpers not to mention so called collectors who don't even play the games both of which are boosting the prices. I got a nice repro copy of earthbound on the snes boxed with instructions for £70 from Etsy which plays lovely.

I love repoducton cartages because I have moved a lot during my childhood I moved a lot and lost a lot games even some got stolen from me I'm not going to pay for 80 or 90 400 plus dollars for a OG n64 game I hate how peolpe are treating old video games like there comic books Straight out the 1930s.

all my recreations work like the originals ...

Since Nintendo doesn't want to come out with retro games for the N64. As long as the games work... Why not? 😆

Do they still work now?

So i heard somewhere about n64 repros that the more longer you play them it will loose memory progress and wear out later on! Is that true?

I only own a few Nintendo 64 reproduction cartridges (In fact, I'm actually playing a repro of Conker's bad Fur day right now), but most of my Nintendo 64 games are authentic and I do plan on getting an authentic copy of Resident Evil 2 for Nintendo 64

Love repro carts

'Promosm'

i dont understand the point 😅 a flashcart would be better right? i have a few repros but only bc i loved the originals and refuse to spend $1000+

Aside from placeholders in a complete collection for the really expensive games like Sculptor's Cut; I don't see much use for them. Now that I've said that; let me kinda contradict myself. I did buy a few reproduction carts a few years back. In my defense it was before the last revision of Everdrive 64 was out and i was unconvinced there would ever be a 100% compatible flashcart. I got Animal Forest with an english patch that actually seemed pretty good but definitely was not 100% functional. still fun to play around with. Also got Ocarina of Time MasterQuest and played thru that for the first time. the game itself was a huge disappointment ("new dungeon challenges" were pretty weak imo) but it was cool to play thru on the N64 instead of gamecube. TLDR: you're better off buying an everdrive than a bunch of repros. but, if you're just filling a few gaps in an existing collection, why not?

Omg! We used to have that & play! Wheel of fortune!! 🎉😮

How look inside?

I got two copy’s of conkers and they don’t work I’ve had bad luck with repros

Haha! "I tip for..." Very cool finds!
