Stadium Problem

[Charizard006]

I know this is a really old game (hence , only three threads), and I understand if nobody posts.

Well I have a spare tv in my downstairs room with no games attached, so I hooked up the only system that hasn't been hooked up to it, which was N64.
I was playing Pokemon Stadium, in tournament mode. I was at the pokemon selection screen, and then a big crunch noise started playing, and a whole bunch of other glitchy noises that would be a result of pulling a game out of a gameboy started playing. But the bgm still played, and could still choose pokes. I waited for the sounds to stop, and they lasted about 6-7 minutes. I was about to choose my pokes when the sounds started playing again! Is my Stadium glitched, or is this a result of the n64 and Stadium being really old and not playing it in like a year?

Edit: went ahead and chose my pokes, and the game got stuck in the white screen of death.

Im not really sure, that happened to me and I just turned the N64 off, I think it was something to do with the cords.

I think that it may just be due to age, i have an N64 and it makes the same noise, but i don't think you need to worry about it.

yeah that happens when a lot of dirt gets inside of the cartridge, you can usually fix it by blowing into it.

That never happened to my copy of the game. you must be unlucky or I must be lucky. but then again I havent played the game in about a month.

This only happens to me when battling the elite four and you use moves like surf. And I get a black screen saying "ERROR, Please Turn power switch to off and remove Game PAK. ERROR Code *insert random numbers here* This didn't start happening until I got the expansion Pak.

I had a problem similar to that.
I find that blowing into the game cartridge and/or the N64 game slot helps.

gamecasette's eventualy work less well after a while because they get a little layer of filth on the contacts, there are special cans of contact cleaners, i use that myself on all the game casette's of my old consoles after they came out of the box again. if i may give you a tip try to get one of those cans and use them on the gold colored strips of your game.

i had a simulair thing with my console which made me think that my console was broke but after some good cleaning all the games worked properly again.
