N64 Red Screen

Well, I was looking on amazon.ca and ebay.ca, so they're not a ton of money.

Ah, alright.
I have a bad habit of looking at US prices, so things always appear as less than they actually are. :^(

So, quick recap of the problem:

1. N64 suddenly displayed a red screen when I was playing a game.
2. I reset the console and the screen remianed black with a "no signal" message
3. I created a forum post
4. I tried each and every suggestion you guys posted
5. I took out the expansion pak because someone suggested it might be the culprit
6. I put in the Jumper Pak
7. The screen turned on and displayed the message "This game will not play without an expansion pak installed" (I tried to play Majora's Mask)
8. I tried a different game and it worked :D
So in the end I narowed it down to a:

faulty Expansion Pak

Thanks for all the awesome help and suggestions! I'd never have figured it out if it weren't for the people on this forum!

Yeah... The USD price converted to Canadian is, for lack of a better word, outrageous! I ordered parts to make a 3D printed Gameboy and they should've been $150... They were at least 3 times that.
A few years ago the Canadian dollar was worth slightly more.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
