Looking to pick up a new 64 for modding. I found a Japanese console for a really nice price and I was wondering the following:
What else will I need to get it working?
Going to get a HDMI mod for it, will that affect anything?
Will an Everdrive V3 work on it?
It comes with a transfer pack, are those region free? So if I use my Pokemon Silver in Pokemon Stadium 2 will it play it or not?
Edit: Forgot to add; is the expansion pack region free or will I need to get a Japanese one?

Thank you very much for reading.

- Get a stepdown converter for the power supply, should your country use another voltage than Japan.
- HDMI mod should not affect anything.
- The console should also work on most pal tv's (depending on how old your tv is)
- Everdrive 3 will work with it, no problem.
- Transfer packs are region free, same as memory cards, controllers and the expension pack. However, make sure your silver game is the same region as pokemon stadium 2, else it will not work.
- Jap consoles will only play NTSC games, not Pal
- Extra note, you can mod an Jap console to play US games, you just have to remove a piece of plastic.

Edit: Hardware that is not region free, is the Voice Unit used by Hey You Pikachu!

Thanks-
I read after posting this that a PAL power supply can work on a Japanese system which I have - since I'm replacing the console. Do you know if this is true?
Since I'm getting the HDMI mod I'm planning on plugging it into my HDTV, that won't affect anything right?

I can confirm this is true, I'm doing it myself.
The only thing the HDMI mod should affect, is that the picture will be way better ;)! Other than that, it shouldn't affect anything.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
