Every now and then, when I put in a cart and power on, the screen is black, but I can hear the game sounds. Reached out to Chromatic and they said to open it up and make sure a cable is seated correctly, which it is. Changed out batteries to fresh batteries but the issue still persists just randomly (usually when I really want to play). Anyone had this issue?
Ordering a M64 and I’m looking for some advice from anyone who has already experimented with flash carts on it.
My main use would be playing N64 ROM hacks, especially modded versions of the AKI/THQ wrestling games like No Mercy, WCW Revenge, and WM2000, along with other hacks.
I’d also like to mess around with SNES and other console emulators that run through the N64, if possible.
For those of you using a flash cart with the M64, what seems to be the most compatible and reliable option right now?
I’m mainly looking at:
• SummerCart64, including the EpicJoy versions or other recommended builds
• EverDrive-64 X7
Price isn’t necessarily the deciding factor. I’m more interested in whichever one gives me the fewest compatibility headaches with the M64, ROM hacks, larger/custom ROMs, saves, and emulators.
Has anyone tested both specifically on the M64? Are there things the X7 handles better, or is SummerCart64 pretty much the way to go at this point?
Also, if you recommend SummerCart64, which seller/version would you buy? Or is there a different direction I should be looking in?
Appreciate any first-hand experience!
