Guys, who using Altra64 (custom firmware on ED64 plus) on your N64, someone explain why this happening... So when I start a New game in example DK64, then I push the reset button, start again and continue the game, randomly I switch the Power button off, all my saves gone, which is already saved on the sd card, why this happening ? With the original firmware doesnt happening this, If I have an already saved game never lost my files. Please help me someone :( I noticed the savegames doesnt lost Eeprom 4k games, only eeprom 16/flashram. Altra64 has much sharper fonts, the wallpappers looks better, the menu can manage more colors etc. want to use this but I have a problem saving bigger games, like DK64/Zelda/Conker which using Flashram and eeprom16k. Super Mario 64/Golden Eye/Banjo kazooie these are using eeprom4k small saves, these are never lost. So any way to fix this, or upgrade the old menu ? Thanks !

could be that alt64 was written only for v2,5 krikkz cards even newer krikkz v3 and x7 cards have problem running this menu

plus it got canned by saturnu very early on so those save fixes for fake ed64 cards didnt got implemented even on the "new" fork there are missing

This thread isn't about Alt64.

OP is asking about Altra64, a fork of Alt64 specifically designed for the "fake" ED64 Plus cards

    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.

    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?

    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.

    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • T @ TheSusKing:
    no, i mean if i could store the app on the usb so it doesnt take up my storage
