Conker's Bad Fur Day Rare Nintendo 64 2001

One of my favourite facts about Conker is that he has a beer belly, and it’s a canon fact

Doing my best to get this out remotely on time this week. We're continuing the run of Conker's BFD and I have gotten sucked into Palworld...so expect more of that going forward.

Capturing the ambience of Conker's Bad Fur Day

This self-satirizing adventure game pushes the N64 to offer impressive audio/visual atmosphere.

Capturing footage

While it appears widescreen display was planned at one point, BFD didn't ship with it. We can force widescreen rendering ratios by using memory cheats.

We should be able to hide Conker by using an Invisible Character cheat (800CE23A 0041), but I couldn't get this working on any of the emulators I tried. Instead, use the Conker Size Modifier cheat to shrink the player to a very small size.

I couldn't find any NTSC camera cheats, but we can use BFD's over-the-shoulder camera to get character-free footage. Free-camera hacks have been developed, but I couldn't find any that are publicly-available. Another strategy is to aim down the sights of certain ranged weapons and employ emulator-level texture mods to hide the scope UI.

Retroben's cheat for 60FPS and pacing miserably slowed down RetroArch for me. I saw this outcome with different (albeit similar) cores, so it may have something to do RetroArch e.g. trying to output at the wrong framerate.

Meanwhile the cheat usually worked as intended on Project64, but other times slowed down just like RetroArch. I also suspect the difference has something to do with applying the cheat immediately at startup versus during normal gameplay.

If you're playing on PAL, I found a pretty extensive screenshot guide focused on staging BFD's characters.

BizHawk

This emulator, designed for speedrunners and other serious users, offers simple per-game scripting capabilities. In BFD's case we can open the ScriptHawk project and use its controls to maneuver Conker with configurable precision.

Navigating the game

We can move about BFD's levels quickly using moon jump and invincibility cheats. BFD is also supported by ScriptHawk.

Enter the WELDERSBENCH code into the in-game cheat entry to gain access to level select. Alternatively to that, you can use a 100% completion gamesave or emulator cheats.

Debug builds

An in-development debug build of the game has surfaced. It offers several read-only displays to explore the current in-game state. We can use this to obtain details of the currently playing sound and music.

Capturing sounds

For more consistent results, I recommend using your emulator's recording features to capture rather than recording at the Windows level. Alternatively Video-Game OST HQ offers crisp downloads rendered by the author's own N64 tools.

Putting it all together

As much I love Conker's Bad Fur Day, I'm still super curious as to what Conker Twelve tales for 64 would've been like?

I'm also curious if the multiplayer modes would've been nearly as diverse and involved as BFD or if that was something that only started happening after the game changed directions? We only have vague screenshots of four Conkers running around in a split screen, but that could be anything.

Same here, I don't think the humor in Bad Fur Day really holds up. It was funny when South Park was still a novel concept but now that we've lived through 20+ years of adult cartoons it's actually more refreshing when something aiming to be "mature" is actually... well... "mature", I would not want to lose Bad Fur Day, or it's multiplayer which, thank god you can play it against CPU when a lot of N64 games, and hell, even modern games, can't be bothered to do that, but I wish I could know what Twelve Tales would have been like.

I hope the rom of the mostly complete game gets dumped online some time. Not likely, since I believe Rare Staff teased that they still have the cart.

“It’s gonna be one of those days...”

Finally, after more than a decade of searching, I found the Toy Vault Conker: Live & Reloaded talking plush! This is Conker in the “multiplayer” (D-Day) outfit (although a singleplayer one exists in the set) and he still talks after seventeen long years!

Time to get this guy cleaned up.

...Or into rehab.

Me: I have easy workdays this week. I should do stuff on Whisper. My gremlin brain: Hey, remember Etno from Space Goofs? You should probably muse him. Me: :( Yeah, I GUESS...

Drew my Conker OC Cherri in her new outfit! She's my version of Conker's kid in a what-if scenario, if Berri came back to life and finally settled down with Conker

It feels great to draw her again!

Another late posting, but that's because of another busy weekend. We'll be continuing the trend of Conker's BFD during February, but to save myself from going insane we'll be breaking it up with other games.
