  It&apos;s finally done!! This video has been in the works since before the expansion pack was even announced; it just gave me a reason to finally finish it. I put SO much effort into this, learning and double-checking everything I can, trying to ensure I&apos;m giving a good explanation for the variety of things I talk about here. With the sheer scope of it, I&apos;m sure I still got stuff wrong. If you caught anything incorrect, please let me know! With how big this video is, I&apos;ll frankly be surprised if there aren&apos;t some big things I need to correct.<br><br>Thankfully, LuigiBlood has already pointed out a lot of these very shortly after the video&apos;s release:<br><br>-N64 WiiVC doesn&apos;t seem to have specialized builds for each game. It was merely constantly updated over time, and the progress was shown in new VC releases. It still used game-specific fixes, but they all exist within the emulator by default.<br><br>-That random shot at I took at DK64 at the beginning of the video didn&apos;t actually have any basis, it seems. While it was just used as a small joke, I still don&apos;t want to spread that misinformation. However, I still assure you that it definitely didn&apos;t use the expansion pack to avoid a bug.<br><br>In addition to these, LuigiBlood also added a LOT of extra information I had missed and gave a different (although admittedly much more educated) outlook on the future of the Switch&apos;s N64 emulation. I highly recommend you take a look at it!<br><br>If we&apos;re being honest, I probably could&apos;ve dialed it back on taking shots at Nintendo in this video. While a lot of the things they&apos;ve done recently have given me a bad impression of them, I&apos;ll be the first to admit that I made a lot of assumptions here, especially at the end. I still find my criticisms reasonable, but I&apos;d like to remind everyone (myself included) that we don&apos;t know what goes on internally and, while speculation is one thing, taking action based on assumptions is another. This might be a needless clarification, but I just wanna make sure I&apos;m not misconstrued here. Please be nice to other human beings!<br><br>With that out of the way, I hope you enjoy today&apos;s video!

  The worst part about Nintendo is not that they CAN&apos;T do incredible things... It&apos;s that they CAN, but choose not to.

  For those saying he died: he&apos;s alive and well. He uses his twitter regularly, he also said back then that he&apos;s going through some irl stuff and we should give him time. <br><br>So please don&apos;t despair thinking he left the channel to rot or something happened to him.

  A friend of mine and I were playing Kirby’s Dream Course online and we saw the rollback netcode and we were both just absolutely in awe about the fact that it has rollback at all!

  random note: I don&apos;t have the issue anymore but I can personally confirm there was a letter to Nintendo Power asking of Warioware: Twisted was compatable with the Gamecube GBA player. The response was something along the lines of: &quot;There&apos;s technically nothing stopping you but if you do attempt to do this, PLEASE send us a video.&quot;

  I used to basically share a copy of animal crossing with a friend of mine growing up until I got my own copy. Any time he would come over we would boot it up on my gamecube and I would just leave it on (sometimes for days at a time) until I wanted to play something else.
