N64p Expansion pak

Post by usbcd36 »

After looking at most N64ps and reading Ben's story, I wonder if it would be possible to have an N64p with an expansion pak instead of the jumper pak. The main reason I'm asking this is because I just got Majora's mask and my expansion pak, and I want to be able to play it on my N64p (when I make it). Is there a fairly uncomplicated way to make this work (without having it stick out of the case or anything), or will I end up selling the game and the pak? I am willing to solder all of the connections if that's what it takes.

well, I know you can remove the actual expansion pack pcb, and then just add your own heatsink...that should cut down on the size to about an inch or so :)
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

That's what I did before my N64 fried... :cry: Just glue on a Pentium heatsink cut down to size, then relocate the expansion slot to a place where it will lay flat. I think Majora's Mask is totally worth that. :wink:

Damn right Majora's Mask is worth it(and of course Perfect Dark). An N64p is only half complete without an expansion pak.
SNESp - 100%
Protable X - 15% - I need money :(

Yeah... He's the portable man, so why didn't he put an expansion pak in it? :? He said in the Neo-Geo one he enjoys a challenge! No offense, Ben. :wink:

yeah, he had a hard time relocating the expansion pack, so he ditched it and went for the jumper pack :)...

Do you people not know the wonders of a $2 antistatic wrist strap? I have opened my N64, messed around and put it back together, and it still works. Why? Because I didn't kill it with static.
