Experiencing Animal Forest N64 for the first time.

[PoizonMushro0m]

Instead of modding your console, you can just take the back of a cartridge from your region and put it on the doubustu no mori cart.
I got mine off eBay, but you can also find them on Amazon and playasia if you'd prefer a different website.

I'd recommend getting the physical copy just for the nostalgia

I actually forgot that I could do this! I do have both of the Nintendo screwdrivers required to do this with as I do like to repair my own consoles. I might just have to do it this way!

If I was to buy a physical cartridge, I would have to discontinue to blog as the emulator allows me to capture high quality images. Not only do I use the images for this blog, but I also contribute some images of high note to Nookipedia as they are always looking for new Animal Forest N64 images as most are quite dated and very grainy.

The main reason I haven't posted anything new for the last while is that I have had issues with my emulator as it refuses to run off my flash drive where I keep my other emulators. The controller issue will probably not be a problem anymore as I have a Wired Xbox 360 controller that works for everything else on PC.

You're also both forgetting that Game Shark allows you to play without regions, just get one of them if you don't want to mod anything.

Or, do the other thing I mention which is buy a Game Shark, it doesn't have those tabs for games.

UPDATE: I have had issues with my emulating software, which in turn has not allowed me to make an update to this blog. I believe the controller issue will no longer be an issue, but should I continue to run into issues, I may just have to find an alternate route to play through Animal Forest N64.

The last thing I would want is a GameShark. I am against using homebrew/override software to play a game. I want to play legitimately at all costs.

Really, the only "legitimate" way is to buy a JP N64 and cartridge and play on your TV... Ripping tabs from the system is still "modding," and besides, GamShark isn't really very dangerous as long as you don't use cheat codes for AF64.

You don't enter codes to play it, there's an option to allow a game to play without the use of the device- pretty sure they planned that for people who want to play JP games on NA systems.

I don't believe there are any, because I saw it used, the device didn't even recognize the cartridge, so the "use no codes" or whatever that option was is the one that was used.

I didn't even know there was a GameShark for N64 xD
That would save some hassle.

After weeks of thinking on this, I have decided to put this blog on hiatus as I have been busy outside of Animal Forest N64 with real life stuff and due to issues with my emulator.

I seriously do not to get a GameShark. I am against using devices like this for my consoles. I would rather do the method that was mentioned by Spamurai and change the back of the physical cart to my region's cartridge shape.

Oh, that's sad.

I'm going to get Animal Forest 64 soon. As long as I'm not stuck on the working for Tom Nook part, I should be fine. I don't understand Japanese at all so I'm not sure what anything is gonna be like.

I don't really have anything to take screenshots with, except for Chibi-Robo Photo Finder where I can take a pic of the game in action and then post it to Miiverse.

 

[ollivia]

is it bad that i actually JUST heard about animal forest today? it makes me want to find it and buy it, oops

 

[Mars Adept]

You should go buy it.

I actually wanted to get e+ but I couldn't due to the region lock issues.

 

[Mars Adept]

Ok, I got Animal Forest 64 yesterday, and continued the used save file. Anyone want to see a picture of the game?

 

[inkling]

Oooo I'm jealous

 

[Mars Adept]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

My mom and dad were able to switch the backings for me so I play it now.

I'll be sure to take a screenshot of it with Chibi-Robo Photo Finder as soon as possible.
