Non-Exhaustive lists, please help !

First of all, I would like to clarify that I didn’t experience the poor picture quality noted in IGN64’s review. I didn’t read anybody complaining about this poor quality except them, so I guess their Tri-Star 64 was not fully functional or something.

Feb 2008 Update: my Tri-Star 64 stopped working about a year ago, so I won’t be able to update this page anymore until I get a new one. Sorry about that.

Jul 2025 Update: I've got another Tri-Star 64! I've added 1 more SNES game (Starwing - Star Fox's PAL release) to the list of games having issues and 4 more NES games.

Here is a list of the games which I confirmed myself to work perfectly.
