Perfect Dark Perfect Agent Playthrough (Actual N64 Capture) - dataDyne Investigation

This is part 2 of my capture of me playing through the solo missions of Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64. This is not an emulator. This footage was captured directly from my Nintendo 64 using an actual Perfect Dark cartridge. I'm playing on Perfect Agent difficulty.

For this mission I picked up the double CMP150s from the hidden weapons compartment. To open the compartment, you have make it to that area undetected and take out the two guards before they spot you. The official Player's Guide recommends waiting for the opening cutscene to finish, then closing the elevator door and waiting for the guard to walk past. You can usually hear his foot steps as he goes by, so just wait a few seconds and you can open the door and run right past him. You'll then need to wait for the cleaning robot to open the side door. If the robot isn't at the door when you get there, just wait for him for return during his short patrol route.

The Player's Guide doesn't really tell you how to disarm the two guards in the cleaning terminal room, but I've seen people use the CamSpy to distract them, so I used that method. Just make the guards face the opposite direction, then quickly run up and punch them from behind. Be careful not to get spotted by the other guard while taking the first one out. Also, don't take too long because if the guards stare at the CamSpy for too long they'll attack it, which constitutes being detected. You won't be able to open the weapons compartment at that point.

I also picked up the proximity mine from behind the radioactive isotope. That way I didn't have to use the Dragon as a proximity mine while hacking the computer terminal to unlock the door.

Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official N64 S-video cable with native widescreen mode enabled. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the N64's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.

I'm using a standard N64 controller.
