N64 Flash Cart Released - The Best News Ever for Nintendo 64 Fans ?

[wraggster]

Like most people i brought the N64 the day it was released in the UK and if i remember correctly it was a 250 Pound purchase with one controller, since then the release of UltraHLE was a major major event in emulation history infact that and Bleem remain in my view the biggest 2 breakthroughs of emulation history.

Since then on every console that ive tried homebrew on ive wanted a decent N64 emulator but at the moment there isnt one thats perfect, but many decent tries ;)

Ive always fancied one of those Doctor 64s/Z64s but they were very expensive and prone to breaking and once they do its hard to get them repaired.

Finally last year Neoflash announced they were making a Flash Cart for the N64 (http://www.ic2005.com/shop/product.php?productid=115&partner=wraggster), finally my dreams were answered.

Its been a long wait since they first announced the cart but today finally the cart goes on sale and im sure many like me will be wanting one of these as soon as possible.

Heres the details from Neoflash (http://www.neoflash.com/go/) and screens:

$199????
I think there's a prankster about. Where are you, you little devil?!

[symbal]

I like N64 but for $199 i could probably buy a copy of every N64 game i'd want to play.

So does this mean that roms can be emulated better by this cartridge dump? if so then damn, somebody get one and start uploading roms lol jk I had an N64 too loved it, but sold. Games/dvd etc should end up on a certain memory card (specific to w/e system) in future, or no?

The NeoFlash carts are a bit pricey, but worth it to people who still use these old consoles. Ever pull out a 15 to 20 year-old cart and have to clean the edges first to get it to work? And then it sometimes STILL doesn't work? Don't want to drag a 100 carts to Grandma's for the holidays, just the N64? Want to run homebrew?

If you answered yes to any/all of those, start saving up your money and buy a Neo Myth. You won't regret it. :)

My gripe is that after using N64 emulators that the original games look pixilated especially on my projector and 80 inch movie screen.
