I have the 4mb Exspansion Pack for the N64, several Hi-Res compatible N64 games, and a new TV to see the games.
But still, when I select 'Hi-Res' graphics from the options screen (ISS 2000 and Excitebike) the games don't play with graphics as good as they should be.

You can see that they do look better, but it's all so jumpy and jerky, and so is the sound.

Do any of you know how to make it play better???
Do I need a Scart or S-Video lead to do so??

I'm also sure there are many others who have this same problem.

Well, wether it is or isn't a good idea, FoG Prime is the wrong place for it!!
It'd be better of in the Life forum.

Only post to do with 'games' should go in Prime!
FoG Chat's bad enough with all the rubbish in there!

This may (or may not) sound stupid but I was thinking of writing about my life and being big (well fat but i find that offensive) and coping with people who maybe take the mic out of me, what do you think ? Good idea or Bad idea ?

A bit of advice....
try and come up with something original and different rather than just something about the console wars that everyone's alreadt read and is entirely sick of!

You'll have a better chance of a GAD then, and you'll also gain more respect from other users of the forums.

When I first tried out my Expansion Pak, it looked great, but some games went really jerky. Hybrid Heaven was the most noticable for this. I found that installing the expansion pak but LEAVING the games on low or mediun res, it worked best.

And I bet you're also pleased to be a Regular now!
Not much else is different, except you can now participate in FoG Prime now.

Hopefully we'll be pleased to read your posts in their too.

Thanks BIGMAN, I thought I might need a Scart Lead so I specifically asked for a TV with a Scart Socket for my birthday - and got one with a 12" screen!! :D

And even though it's jerky, the ISS 2000 hi-res graphics look smart to say the least! Almost PS2-like!!

And SR are still selling Scart Leads for £9.99. Have to get me one of those soon then.

Thanks again.

apparently the iss2000 hi-res is crap anyway.
