I don’t have a Japanese N64, do I need to get one or am I able to region mod/use a passport for my American N64 for valid runs?
You can also just use the American version. In 70 Star it's faster in 120 a little bit slower in 16 Star run also a little bit slower and in 0 and 1 too but it doesn't make much difference only about 2-5 seconds as far as I know.
Most people either swap the backs of the carts or remove the dust flaps from their N64s.
Alaris is right. that is indeed what most people do. personally, though I use a 3d Printed region-free tray. it's only 7 bucks on eBay, and assuming you know how to both follow instructions and unscrew things, then you'll be fine.
the reason I don't remove the dust flaps is that I collect games, as well as speedrun them. and I want my n64 in pristine condition until I can afford one just for speedrunning.
Would it be possible to just take the tray out or would that mess with the electronics?
I wouldn't necessarily mess it up, but removing the tray also removes the dust covers, so if you do, be careful with it.
@Gam3r2234 I don't understand why you need a different version than USA, you're not even Sub 20 it's enough. For me it would be too big a risk and you can start with it and then switch to Japan at some point.
Yeah it’s not just for Speedruns its mostly because I like to collect stuff and I’d like to play Japanese games without getting a whole new console
If you wish to replace your twitch highlights with reuploads, please edit your already verified run rather than deleting the verified run and making a new submission. This makes it a lot easier for us to track which submissions are reuploads and should be less work on your part as well.
