On the Everdrive 64 forum (http://krikzz.com/forum/index.php?topic=6169.0) someone posted:




"Hey guys, i found 2 videos:

Need for Speed running on N64 with everdrive 64 cartridge:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9rTHcmXCgM

and a Lotus - The Ultimate Challenger from MS-DOS Game running on N64

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN-EG_Oeok4

I don't know if is the real or fake, because it makes me suspicious and there are no tutorial to do.

I didn't understand this video because is the Brazilian Portuguese language.

What do you think?

(sorry for bad english)"




There's no way this is real (DOSBox is slow even on the original XBox, which has a genuine x86 Pentium 3 733Mhz), but for fake videos they don't look very ambitious.

Off topic, but how do you post Youtube links on this forum so that the post shows the Youtube video as a still image (instead of just the text link, as in this post)?

Ill throw in my Brazilian Portuguese :

"If you have an Everdrive of any version, or intend to acquire one. Know this about the Everdrive cartridge. For advanced features such as MS-DOS games, audio files, and video files like the one you saw of the Playstation logo playing off the N64 - you need to change the software (the operating system of the Everdrive) and maintain the version 3.0 bootloader. The original operating system does not permit these more advanced functions."

He describes his console as having RGB, HDMI, and VGA output capability. He was frequently asked in another video if other MS-DOS games can be ported to the N64, and he said he would be working on Street Fighter MS-DOS for the N64.

He thanks two other channels (Tio Paçoca and Pq Retro) for helping port the game onto the Everdrive and preserving game functionality. He states that game has no lag and is smooth.

Is there any update ?
Must be fake but I wouldn't mind playing lotus on N64...

[Wreck]

Resident Evil 2 on N64 had the FMV cutscenes, but they were compressed and looked quite pixelated. Could the N64 even play those properly at their original PlayStation size and quality?

That's one slick looking N64, though!

The N64 is actually a very good machine for FMV display. Sadly, cartridge size didn't make it possible.

Cowboy Bebop opening -> 1:33 min in a 10 MB rom (more than Super Mario 64 and almost like GoldenEye!)

Dirt2 teaser -> 0:51 min in a 5 MB rom.

Same with audio.

Even if the compression is obvious on RE2, it still amaze me they manage to fit all of them in a 64mb cartridge. It's just insane.
They made a post mortem of the developpement of the N64 conversion that I just discovered recently and worth reading.

I already proved the Need for Speed on N64 to be fake over on the ED64 forums.
