how old is the controller pack? they use a battery (same as many of the N64 carts themselves). perhaps the battery has died...
or the control receptor is damaged

Why not just save your progress off of the system? It sounds a lot easier.



because some gmaes dont allow you to do that due that they lack of an internal battey

I see, such as Doney Kong 64, which required the expansion pack to be installed in order for the game to even run at all. The days of primitive gaming are a mystery to me sometimes...




there was an offical cheating device for the N64 that could fry your 64 in the blink of an eye so the games lacking of an internal abttery were amde compatible with the AR/GS offical device

So these procedure hardware pieces were just a precaution for this sort of thing, then. But what if you had never used said device(s) before?


you now what they say, what is done is done

I mean, what if you had never used GameShark or Action Replay on your N64 before. Could total corruption still be a risk?
nope there are lesser chances that corrupted data happens (i had to re-start once castlvania 64 due to my 64 went rouge once)

re: controller pack

quote DXD
Did the expansion pack specifically fulfill this protective purpose, or was it just the controller pack?



it was the expansion, but some times my 64 likes go rogue with BK some times it deletles all my data and i have to reset until the 64 loads it lol

re: controller pack

quote DXD
Jeez, back then I would have never known of the potential risks that this annoying piece of hardware prevented, since I was only 10 or so. So this pack is recommended for the system in general and not just a single game?



yup it is ticking on my 64, and i still lvoe to play Ocarina and Majora's, also DXD do you brawl?

Well, from what I've seen, it does much more than that.

Yes, I do. But I'm not too big on the whole tournament scene.



just asking so i can brawl with some one who isnt a spammer :l i found my few online random mathces quite dissapointing due to well cap falco spamming falco punch and then sonic and his dash being spammed

re: controller pack

Well, you don't have to worry about me.

And speaking of "spamming", perhaps we should avoid doing such a thing in a place like this.




siwch to PM.

also the controller pack acts as an external battery, the other one acts now only as extra ram, but somehow avoids my data from deletling itslef.

re: controller pack

well, yes and no, batteries are more efficient than your hard drive, or mem card.

re: controller pack

no the batteries were on the individual cartridges, the expansion pack its an extra memory, bateries were more efficient due that you could for a matter of fact save your game and switch to the other not worrying yourself to see IF you still had left space to use and save the game like happens with the last gen consoles.

re: controller pack

quote DXD
So it acts as a form of memory card for those old time systems that would always just save internally.



lets just say that the systems instead of evolving went 3 steps back, batteries rocked because i could have 30 diferent games worrying that i had to deletle files onto the cartidrages of the exact game, with memcard altough you could store multiple saves, its always the problem that most saves uses several blocks (the wii is the only expextion 1 file> has all your saves of 1 game.)

re: controller pack

quote DXD
And the memory card has a notorious history of corrupting and wiping out certain save blocks at random, especially when Soul Calibur games are concerned(mainly 1 through 3).



yeah it happened 5 time in a row to my SA:BT2 i had to re-start my game and my chao data due tot hat rpoblem the wii altough lacks of that problem (and saves of multiple games in a 360 and PS3 get away with a ton of memory i saw ragnarokseeker channel one of his MM vids showed he had few games but of 60 G he only had left about 10) so in certain aspects the batteries are way superior to memcards, and also to disc, so far there isnt even 1 pirate copy, or something liek an R4 for the nintendo 64 as far as im concerned.

I thought the original GCN only offered white or grey.

later on nintendo lauched 2 more mem card with 200 and 500 or 700 blocks of space, perfect cuz have mortal kombat deadly aliance that needs 70 blocks, and XD that takes away 43 blocks, so my mem card that came with my GC is near

I know, it really impresses me that you can download games from that late 90s system, even some original NES/SNES titles.



yup, i love that of the wii while the other consoles dont do that, im also seeking a good copy of chrono cross... its a good game but nowhere as near as chrono trigger but i dont like much the DS version due to its limited chances of saving (c'mon 3 spots)

re: controller pack

thats why cartidrages sued to rock you could store your games files onto the game that corresponded it and not being all worrysome because : "oh no i have to erase this data,b ut i need it , what about this other oh but im playing this, and wanting to end this other"
