List of N64 games that DON't save on the carts?

YogurtStorm

Hey so you know how some n64 cartridges have self-contained save data whilst others require a memory card to save?

Is there a list somewhere which tells you which ones have built-in save memory?

No idea, be nice to know.

It'd be a much shorter list would we the games that do require a memory card.

Sweet NESWorld, thanks! Im guessing " Controller Pak' means memory card, wht does all the other stuff mean like EEprom, 4kb or 16kb, Flashram, Sram etc...

the n64 didn't use "memory cards" it used controller paks :-)

The other stuff is the various "on board" save types

Oh i'm sorry, i was just referring to it as 'memory card' as it's how my brain generically refers to a small external card-ish shaped memory unit :-)



Thanks for being a great help NESworld!

I remember when I got my first controller pak for Christmas, I was like "Fuck yea! I can finally play Tarzan and save it "

I remember not knowing about memory cards when I had a PS1. Crash Bandicoot had a password system so that was fine, but pretty much everything else needed a memory card. Figured it out eventually...
