MiSTer FPGA - Wave Race 64 [Championship Hard] / Nintendo 64

*Please watch in full 1440p/60 quality!* First video for the official release N64 core! I recently hosted a time trial competition for Wave Race 64 in the MiSTerFPGA Discord and wanted to record a playthrough also. Videos have been rather slow to release lately and will continue to be for a while, as my weekly schedule doesn't leave much time for gaming currently. I'll try and post videos when I can and have a lot of them planned still! Looking to get into MiSTer FPGA? Great quality kits, parts & support at https://www.MiSTerAddons.com

Wave Race is still awesome after all these years, and as punishing as ever! I used the Saffun N64 USB controller that you can buy on Amazon for this run, but don't recommend them for any games that require the d-pad, as it has severe malfunctions on both of the ones I ordered and presses multiple directions at a time if you hold any direction down, with anything but the lightest touch. The analog stick and buttons feel great though, so for most of the N64 library it will work perfectly fine.

The N64 core was created by FPGAzumSpass, whom previously brought us the PlayStation, GBA, Lynx and WonderSwan cores, along with enhancements to the Game Boy and NES cores, and significantly improved performance in the AO486 core.
