New M64 details shared by ModRetro's Palmer Luckey: 'It'll be the best way to play at any price'


ModRetro's N64 remake is due to be revealed this holiday

Luckey said even if you set aside the expense of original N64 hardware in good condition, the problem with Nintendo's 64-bit console is that it isn't compatible with most modern TVs. "If your TV does have composite input, you typically have to deal with bad comb filters, lag from upscaling, and generally poor image quality," Palmer explained. "Some people solve this [TV compatibility] by modifying their N64 with HDMI output kits that cost hundreds of dollars, but even those add a frame of latency unless you run modes that cause severe screen tearing in most games."
