NINTENDO 64 N64 CONTROLLER PAK MEMORY CARD

The Controller Pak is a memory card that fits into the controller and allows the player to save his game. Indeed, although most games give the possibility of saving directly on the cartridge, some require this memory card. The Controller Pak also allows Nintendo 64 owners to exchange data, as data saved on one game cartridge cannot be transferred to another cartridge.

In order to reduce production costs, some third-party publishers decided not to integrate a backup battery into the cartridges, thus making the use of the Controller Pak essential.

Nintendo's Controller Pak has 256 kilobits (32KB) of SRAM memory, divided into 123 "pages" and limited to 16 save files.

It is possible to access a save file manager by pressing the start button when launching a game compatible with the Controller Pak.
