lol
What are we going to do about this? Nothing, that's right, because there's no way to police it and we'd be balls deep in shit trying to sort out what times are real and what times are GameCubed.

The longevity of original N64 sticks is complete shit bro, they can go from 10/10 to unusable (as far as things like Facility running are concerned) within a year and to <100% max amplitude (no CC) within a few days. Dafuq is this shit?
You might be a original gear proponent because you are in touch with collectors (or are one yourself) who ensure your constant supply of 8-10/10s. But keep in mind that the average skilled guy, fueled by GE streams he found on twitch, who unearths his N64 with the 2/10 controller bought in 1998 to try for Dam 54, is not in your cosy situation. Instead you should complain about no full-value 3rd party stick for the main controller being around so far, only crappy over-sensitve strafechange sticks. Or complain about how the 2.x glitch made GE speedrunning retarded, which is the real issue here imo.
controller modification
First of all if you have ever taken apart a n64 controller you will find that the entire joystick assembly is modular, intended to be removed and replaced if needed. Additonally Nintendo at one point did sell replacement parts such as the joystick assembly in its entirety.
It is intended for the stick to be replaceable. It does not do anything different any other 3rd party controller could do, this does not change the game runs or anything like that. Please if you consider this a mod, then changing the back on a NTSC cart is a mod and so if you play Jap carts and an NTSC-EN console then its modded.
This thread is silly and this point has been beaten to death and I don't see the logic in arguments against this, like I said a million times, any issue with this joystick replacement should be about an argument about using any controller other than the OEM n64 controller which already has a precedent set in the Superpad Era. /thread

All I can say is there's always PD that doesn't ever have these kinds of issues. :kappa:

lolling pretty hard.
an everdrive IS capable of doing things a normal cart can do
It causes the controller to do things that the controller originally couldn't do.
It is also a slippery slope to N64 controller board modification that can also make the controller do things it isn't supposed to.
People who use gamecube sticks are willing to put in the extra effort/money to push the game to its extremes. They are the real MVPS!
you could probably buy pal ge/console/tv for less than an everdrive costs
So a guy who has been around the Elite since the stone ages, has every single one of his PRs proven, contributes hundreds if not thousands of man hours to the Elite is restricted of the ability to play PAL relatively cheaply because it's a lot easier to cheat? We already have an Everdrive WR on the rankings!
Guess I'll have to fly to Europe or buy PAL *everything* to some day make this work.
Let's all face it, there is no use in speedrunning GE any longer. It has become too easy to cheat, you can't trust a single WR any longer. People are replacing thumbsticks for better comfort while playing the already retarded 2.x strategies, Any luck factored/once in a thousand situations can be reproduced 1 on1 using simulators, I could go on for ages how useless running GE is. It is a waste of time once you realise that your hard earned WRs are tied by guys who reprogram the game within the hour. Give me one reason why it isn't already happening.
Yes I borrowed Ngamer's PAL stuff and tried playing it on a cheap converter and realized that was impossible. Weatherton told me at the time that it cost him around $200 to make PAL work smoothly with his setup, and since then other methods of playing have been found.
Give me one reason why it isn't already happening.
You don't need a TV though if you have a dazzle and don't mind running it through your computer screen, that's the main thing since dazzle has resale value and the TV is an albatross.
What Everdrive WR is on the Rankings?
It's not just the spring, all those parts that suffer heavy fricction contribute to worn it out (black curved pieces, the stick itself, bottom of the little box...)
Haha oh yeah I've watched that vid a bunch. Didn't know it was on Everdrive. I wonder why he used that instead of regular GE. I didn't think there were any region specific advantages on that level.
Random thought:
With stuff like 3d printing becoming more and more accessible these days, I wonder if it would be possible to use parts from a brand new control stick to create a schematic or mold that you could use to make new parts. So when your controller gets worn down, just use a 3d printer to make replacement parts, and in theory, the result should be a control stick that feels brand new.
Cheatstick WRs should have an asterisk beside them.

Reprogram that cartridge, it's a Mark 2 and should be compatible. :kappa:
