I'm about halfway through WrestleMania 2000. I like the game but it can get monotonous, so I'm trying to get 2-3 matches done per day.

If I could offer some advice:

Singles matches:

If your already a champion of some sort, you can just leave the ring and get counted out and not lose the belt. So basically a quick skip through a match. You can do this with any match really

Tag Matches: Do a finisher on the opponent in the ring, then immediately turn around and strong punch the opposing tag partner off the side of the ring. Then make the pin on the guy you did the finisher on. This keeps the opposing team member from getting back in the ring in time to break up the pin.

Handicap Match:

Let the other guys fight each other and just taunt the one with the higher attitude bar. Switch back and forth between them and keep taunting and keep both of their energies low. When you build up to a finisher hit one of them or both of them. Do this a couple of times until the opponents are really weak/take forever to get up and you will make the pin. 

Royal Rumble: Good luck, this is a bitch

Remember you don’t get credits unless you win the championship at Wrestlemania, if you go into it as champion, Mcmahon will strip it from you and you won’t get to have a match for it

So I'm already champion, should I lose it intentionally?

I was under the impression that he stripped the title before WrestleMania, so as long as you win the Royal Rumble you get that match.

Every time Ive been stripped of the championship I wouldn’t receive the match at Wrestlemania. I don’t remember if you will still get it if you also won the royal rumble

I'm giving up on Bomberman, these stairs seem to be glitched in project64 and I can't continue 🙁

Looked at a longplay and I haven't missed a button or anything, these stairs are supposed to be down.

Weird, I'm also emulating but those stairs worked for me, there's a button somewhere that I'm sure you pressed. I see other weird stuff, like sometimes the control stick stops moving Bomberman left or right, and I have to use the D-pad until I finish the level and can reset the game. Also some stuff is invisible that shouldn't be, which is manageable but gets really bad in the casino level. But I can pick this one back up, I've still got my save file.

Meanwhile, I'm not sure about a win condition for Brunswick. You can view the credits at any time from the menu, and I haven't found a playthrough of someone placing first in a tournament to see if anything happens. I saw one of a guy placing 2nd (it's grueling, so many games and the CPU gets upper 200's in every game) and nothing at all happened. So maybe just surviving a tournament is good enough, or maybe some other mode.

Turns out I did miss something. They seem to have cut it out of the longplay I checked when I got stuck, but you're supposed to freeze and blow up a fountain to get the stairs down... Fortunately a guide did mention it so I redid the level and the stairs worked this time, I'll keep at it.

The control stick is also an issue for me, but I'm just playing with the D-pad.

This is the bit of the longplay btw, they never blow it up with a fire bomb after they freeze it 😤

N64 emulation is fine these days, at least as far as I've seen. N64 emulation hasn't been shitty in like a decade.

It does take some setup, and it's still not perfect, especially on FPS games. I got all the achievements on RetroAchievements for Goldeneye, so I was able to absolutely complete the whole game, but this required getting used to a jankier version of the N64 controller (third-party USB) and optimizing the emulator for the game specifically.

Swapping to Perfect Dark, there are parts which don't work at all. In one of the early levels you need to use a free-roaming camera robot to take a photo of a radioactive isotope. It's one of the simplest mission objectives in the game and is never used again, but on my emulator (the latest and greatest, fine-tuned to the game), my screen just goes whole black. Fortunately I'm able to navigate that section blind, so I managed it just fine, but if you can't, then you're boned unless you find a solution online, which I imagine must exist somewhere. That said, I have already completed one of the hardest achievements in the game which is to complete the bulk of the multiplayer challenges against bots, which are extreme in their difficulty, so gameplay-wise, the game runs well enough that I can do incredibly difficult sections capably.

Having picked up emulators to get retro achievements, I've seen some of the best and worst of N64 emulations very recently and it's absolutely not a dream. But nothing is unplayable, and those that are close to such just require optimization. Majora's Mask may (sadly) be one of the most difficult to get working.

Let me know if I've missed anything:

 

Bomberman 64: The Second Attack Splain? ikk? KokiriChild?
Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling Nugfish claimed it but hasn't logged in recently
ECW Hardcore Revolution ZeldaFreak
Nightmare Creatures Jeevan
PGA European Tour RetroMichel after Dec 20th
WWF Attitude  
WWF Wrestlemania 2000 McBryce

 

I can take a look at Brunswick or Attitude, but I'm emulating so I can't tell how well it works yet.

for ease

I won't promise, because I'm working on a Koei game, but if it's not done when I finish it I'll give it a whirl.  It's funny that I have 3 of the 5 remaining games though, since I don't actually have many N64 games.
