Hi, i have bought my N64 and a cartridge but i'm unsure if it's legit. There is an imprint on the back in the upper right corner however it says "00" and that's what makes me question the cartridge. Also is there any ways to see if the console is legit without opening it?

Also sorry if this isn't the place to ask about this :/

Thanks in advance, Kazilik

Hi, i'm new to all this and I wanna begin speedrunning. I'm wondering what I need for speedrunning so I have quite a few questions I hope anyone can answer.

I do not want to speedrun on emulator so I want the physical N64 to speedrun on. But what "version" should I choose? The NTSC(US or Jap?) or PAL(I believe is EU), what's easier to get a hold of, what difference does it make if i'm connecting it to my pc? I wanna know every advantage/disadvantage and what others recommend.

Also how can I connect it to my pc and record/stream on twitch? I saw a video on how to record with Elgato. Is that just fine or does anyone recommend something else?

If i choose the JP N64 system, do I have to get JP version of the games aswell or can I use the US version on a JP N64 system?

As an end note: Please let me know if there is something else I need to know or forgot to ask about.
