Nintendo 64 Memory Pak

The Controller Pak is an optional accessory that enhances the memory-saving features of selected games. These games have the Controller Pak icon on the Game Pak packaging. The Controller Pak can save game progress, Controller button configurations, built-up character attributes, created characters and more.

Game information saved on a Controller Pak can be uploaded later to another N64 system. For example, if you are playing a football game, you can save your favorite team's statistics to a Controller Pak. You can then take your Controller Pak to a friend's house, upload your stats, and see whose team is better.

How It Works
Information from multiple games can be saved to a single Controller Pak. Information from multiple games can be saved to a single Controller Pak. One Controller Pak has 123 pages of memory.

Depending on the game you own, there are a couple of different ways to delete the saved information on a Controller Pak.

1. While turning on the Nintendo 64 (N64), hold down the START on Controller #1. If the programmers utilized this feature, an N64 Controller Pak menu should appear. On this menu, you will be able to view and/or delete the contents of the N64 Controller Pak.

2. If the first option doesn't work, then the Game Pak most likely has a feature that can only be accessed within the game. For example, in Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey, you can only access this feature under the Options screen.
