Donkey Kong 64


Posted on 01/26/2014 at 06:31 PM | Filed Under Feature

This along with Banjo Kazooie were among my favourite games for the 64.

I remember renting it for my son and when I went to take it back the poor little bugger was in tears. So being the big soft git that I am I bought him the game.

I managed to get it working but A. now the picture is too big for the screen cutting off icons and the taskbar. I've been trying to mess with the resolution but it there's not much I can do. B. the image is really shaky. You get up close to it and you can see the image vibrate. It's all washed out too. 

USB drives have really come down in price. I paid 60 for 1 Terabyte and I just saw a 2 Terabyte external for 99 at Bestbuy. USB 3 is the way to go if you have the ports in your PC.

I got it to work but the image is crap. It's the TV's fault I know. I need a new gaming TV.

It's a resolution and frequency thing Joe. The video resolution is probably running at too high a frequency for the LCD to translate so it shows up as snow just like an improperly positioned TV antenna,

That's ok Tami.:)

I think I know what the problem is. It's just going to be too much work to fix.

I have some wooden TV tray tables that are exactly the right height for keyboard and mouse and you can eat off them too. LOL Keep liquids far away though.

SSD is definitely the way to go for OS and USB 3.0 is 10 times faster than 2.0 theoretically. Practically it's still much faster than 2.0

So far I've been able to run games from it without any issues. and I like the fact that when I change PCs I can take this disk with me.

Caveat: this may be obvious but you do need to have USB 3.0 ports on the PC itself in order to run the drive. You can plug a USB 3.0 drive into a 2.0 port but your net gain is 0.

Last Remnant is all your fault Matt. :)

USB 3.0 is plenty fast from what I've seen so far

Flexibility. This one I can move from device to device quickly. At some point I'll have to give my laptop back.
