My nintendo 64 is lagging!

Hi, i have a Nintendo 64 from August, i bought it from a seller on ebay, and i noticed that when i'm crossing specific places in a level, there is a little or a big lag, while in another places it doesn't lag. I have 3 games: Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo-Tooie, and i have this problem in all 3 games... I never played a N64 before so i don't know if this is normal >_< Can you resolve my problem? :) Sorry for my bad English but i'm Italian, thanks.

The N64 was originally made for the old analog CRT TV, if you are connecting it to a newer type digital TV this could be why you experience lagging as I have those games and do not remember any lag in any of them not that I have played them in the last 2 years. The worst case scenario is that the seller was getting rid of it due to a bad Video chip inside the N64 without stating that there was a problem with it so they could sell it. This is why I never use eBay you just never know what you are getting. I am not sure if Nintendo still support this console but it maybe worth a try to contact them directly and see if they are able to help you figure out what it is.

Your English is very good I understood everything with no problems my friend.

SOURCE: Super Nintendo games start but levels don't

try blowing inside the game cartridge and then the slot the game inserts into. I had this problem on my snes with some games and this helped. Other to that it may be the console is on its way out.

Ebay sell some really cheap snes consoles now. I picked one up for £15.00 with games.

SOURCE: I just tried to use my nintendo 64 for the first time in a while.

I have trouble with my old N64 cartridges also, some work and some don't. Typically, I would suspect the cartidges as being the problem, but in your case, it's possible there is an issue with the game unit itself since none of your games fully works. Sometimes wiggling the cartridge and hitting the reset button can help get games running, if the cartridge connectors are a bit corroded.

SOURCE: just bought a used N64. Donkey Kong 64 and DK

Your Nintendo 64 is fine. Donkey Kong 64 requires the following expansion pak to work because of its enhanced graphics.

Does anyone know where i can find an instruction manual for InterAct V3FX Racing Wheel for nintendo 64?

eBay may have several listings with instructions. You might try contacting the seller to see if you could obtain a copy of the instructions without purchasing the entire box.

My Nintendo 64 is lagging!

Definitely if you are playing one of those 3 games it is normal since those are three of the most graphic intensive games ever released for the console besides Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark. Just like if you remember the days of the original nintendo if you had more than 8 characters/sprites on screen at once the game would crawl until you killed one of the sprites! LOL But for those 3 games if you have a lot of graphics on screen with a lot of textures at certain points in a level it will definitely slow down the frame rate for sure. The only way to remedy this is to attach a heat sink fan to your Nintendo 64 processor similar to how you attach one to a computer but that would have to be a custom job or just play the games on Emulator on your PC. Cheers!

My Nintendo 64 Controller Pak is not working.

Well it might be an internal issue with the console then. Like the console might be confussed that would occur if you do not use offical Nintendo stuff more problems occur with unlicsened products.

Just bought a used 64, i load a game in and the screen says connect a controller into port #1. I have a brand new controller and a used one so i dont think its a controller prob. What can I do?

Unfortunately you have bought a broken used N64. I don't believe there is anything you can do about it. I would suggest contacting the seller and asking if it's something that he had a problem with and just had to do something simple to avoid it. If there's anything you can do now, it is probably to buy a new n64, but that wouldn't be too bad because they are available and cheap on site like ebay or amazon.

How do i fix my nintendo 64 when it has a short in the power chord?

If you're sure that the short is in the power cord, you can replace the cord to get the Nintendo to work. You can find replacement cords on eBay -- here are some that are for sale now:

Set up of the nintendo 64 console.

There is a big empty space on the back with a small plug on the inside. There should be a "power brick" that slides in there and then plugs into the wall.
