I figured that out myself while I was fooling around with the options. That alpha blending thing REALLY fucks with GoldenEye, though.
That's why you switch it off when you're done playing.
What emulator is this? PJ64?

And wouldn't having no alpha blend make the effects look liek shit?

EDIT:

Lolwtf, what's with the quote glitch? You and me both did it consecutively. :boon:[/quote]
:!: :!: :!: (Messed-up quote ends here.) :!: :!: :!:

Phoenixan made a mistake while quoting and then your quote closed his quote, now my quote will close yours, etc.

Does the N64 version of this game have anything unique, like how Dreamcast got minigames, PS1 got the beta demo, or PS2 got minigames, more levels, etc?

All the music is different. The Teensies' theme sounds better, and the Crow's Nest music is awesome too (though I'm not sure if it's as good as the other versions). This version also has the Hall of Doors (which is the same as the Hall in the PC version, but different to the Hall in the PS1 version).

I've given this matter quite a bit of thought, and I've concluded that everyone needs to play R2 N64, R2 PS1, R2 DC and R2 PS2 in order to cover all the unique features of each version. The PC version needn't be bothered with, as everything in it can be found by playing the DC and N64 versions.

But what surprises me most is that the PS1 version has real voices, and the PS2, PC and N64 it has some kind of computer-made voices

"Fonekeso ooen mey" >_<

Curious why the PC version didn't got more worked due to its graphical and processing advantage.

Well that's disappointing. Hmm, my friend Brandon has a Dreamcast emulator, I guess I could use that...but sadly I'll never be able to play Revolution :cry:

Worst? I think PS1 was the worst visually, and that's the version I grew up with. Never had a N64, a Dreamcast, a PS2, nope. Just PS1, Gamecube, and now Wii. So it takes a lot for me to say that.

EDIT: Oh, if we're counting handheld consoles, I also have a GBA and two DS Lites.

If I must...

PS2, Gameboy Color, Nintendo DS, N64, Wii, Gamecube, Sega Megadrive, Dreamcast, Saturn, GBA.

Rayman 2 Forever was the worst IMO, Dreamcast version being the best - I like Rayman Revolution but the Dreamcast one runs much better.

I'm trying to get a GBASP too. One of my friends says that the second model of those has a better backlight then the first models so look carefully.

I never got why people sell their stuff. Sure, if it's worth $1000 and you'll never ever use it, but I don't see gameboys being even worth $30, so there's not point

Gameboys are collectors' items these days; they're worth more than that.
