Well I've been looking through my controller paks again and found a few SRAM saves as well as normal controller pak saves, here's what I've got for you this time.

• Banjo Kazooie (SRAM)
• Chameleon Twist (Controller Pak)
• GoldenEye (SRAM)
• Mission Impossible (SRAM)
• Rogue Squadron (SRAM)
• Snowboard Kids 2 (SRAM)

Click here to check out our DexDrive page.

Here is what is new in this version:

• fixed a bug that caused a short flashing at the start (no real bug ;-)
• bugfix in the CRC1-Method which sometimes reported some N64-ROMs as unknown (e.g. Pokemon Snap)
• Zelda v1.1 is now recognized correctly and no longer as normal Zelda (via CRC1-Method)
• ROMs with countrycode X are now correctly recognized as PAL-Australian (before unknown country)
• improved the errorhandling routine - now clear an better errormessages
• enhanced the CRC1-Method. Every ROM can now be recognized theoreticly, no more unidentificable ROMs !
• internal CRC1-Database and external ROM database enhanced to 462 ROMs total
• new "About"-Dialogue
• Check at the start if the roms.ini is there

Space Harrier got delayed to late 2000, I think.

N64 ON SALE IN DEMMARK AND GERMANY
Well it seems that some stores are clearing out the N64 stock, to get room for? Well anyway you Danes might wanna check out "Merlin", I went there yesterday and grapped Body Harvest for $14 (99,95), they had one more game available in Aalborg (Quake at $21 - 149,95), but who knows they might have more available elsewhere.

I've just spent 14 days near the Danish-German border and went to Flensburg where I noticed that "Karstadt" had serveral N64 titles, Virtual Chess, NHL Hovkey '99 and uh well cant remember the rest but there was 5 or so titles to choose from. They were priced $17 (30 D-Marks). In case you're interested in SNES they had serveral SNES Titles, Harvest Moon, Terranigma, Donkey Kong Country 1-2-3, Yoshi's Island, Super Mario All-Stars, The Great Circus Mystery and more priced $11 (20 D-Marks) each.

HINTS FOR BODY HARVEST
If you havent played this game yet I suggest you do so. I've been stuck on level 2 for some time now and just began playing the game again. On level two there's a door underneath a giantic statue which cannot be opened and I had no idea of what to do, until now. There's a mountain near the statue and on top of it there's a cave with something called "the sun shield". You need the sun shield to light a torch the statue is holding. To do that press Down on the D-Pad and thoose the Shield, then hold down the R button and point the target just above the torch and hit Z, the torch will start burning and you'll be able to enter the door below the statue.

Hoe to get the Cog from the Miller? Shoot the "wings" off his mill and you're able to grap it. Remember to give the Cog to the guy on the other side of the lake (where you found the boat). He will then be able to fix the watergate and you'll be able to move on! (yey). Use the boat and turn right once you're through the watergate... go as far as you can to the right and you'll con to an island, kill (destroy) all the cannons etc and then kill the giant dragon thingy (I used the Shield to kill it heh, went damn fast).

Well this became a quick FAQ for Level 2 of Body Harvest, heh. I'd love to post some DexDrive SRAM saves, but unfortunately there's no tool which backs up SRAM correctly yet, if ever.

DEXDRIVE REVIEW
Yes! I finally finished the DexDrive review which was supposed to be here weeks ago, but uh well.. erh nevermind, just read it k? :)

TOOLS: N64 ROM INFO V2.0
Einstein II has released a new version of his N64 rom utility which tries to find the country and the full name of a ROM using the internal ROM-id and a database (roms.ini). With this data a filename is generated and you have the option to rename the rom to its long filename. It currently knows 412 commercial games, demos and homebrewn games. This verson has the following changes:

Bugfix when reading the headerdata:
Some N64 ROMs were not recognzized as N64 ROMs in the previous release, and are now:

• Shadows of the Empire
• Star Wars E1 POD Racer
• NBA Hangtime
• New Tetris
• Quake 64
• Cruisin USA
• Doom 64

I dont really think this tool is of much use to anyone really, I personally could care less, but well here you have it.

MORE HOMEBREWN GAMES AND DEMOS ADDED
Well i grapped a few more demos from the CD as well as a game by Charles Doty called Sporting Clays which is ok actually, click here to check out the demos and games page. Please note that there are no commercial games there, and dont ask! please.

Perfect Dark now requires the Expansion Pak to play the "story mode" but not the "battle mode" or ehatever they'll be called.

European gamers should have the game by the end of April, Americans probably a bit sooner. A word is also out that Rare is releasing a Gameboy Color version of Perfect Dark which should include 15 minutes of speach, hrmmmm.

SITE HACKED
Well someome found it funny to hack the site while we were located at emuclassics, but to Protokol at his gang, bah go fuck yer momma!

Mario Party 2 (source: ign64.com)

SEQUEL TO OLD NES GAME COMMING SOON
Well who doesnt know Track & Field and who hasnt played it on the NES till their fingers hurt? Well I did atleast. The new N64 version is called International Track & Field and will be the first "athletic" game on the N64. I havent play the game yet, since it aint out March, but judging by the screenshots it looks ok, but we all know how bad controlls were in Nagano Winter Olympics, hmm? Anyway, the game will use the exp. pak for better graphics and will feature a lot of events to compete in.
For more info, check out ign64's preview.

COLOR'D N64S GETS US RELEASE TOO
They've been out for a few months in Europe, but with no sign of a US release, but at CES Nintendo announced that that the lineup of different colored "see-thru" N64s will arrive in US stores around 21 February. The colors are smoke (gray), ice (blue), fire (orange), jungle (green), watermelon (pink), and grape (purple). The system comes with a matching controller and a suggested retail price of $99.95.

USE A N64 CONTROLLER WITH YOUR PC
This may be aimed at emulation freaks mostly, but this cable is actually also a new cool, and cheaper, way to upload controller paks to the PC instead of using the DexDrive. The thingy is called adaptoid and is a cable with a female N64 plug in one end and a standard USB plug at the other end. It will allow the use of both Rumble and Controller Pak with emulators such as UltraHLE but also allows upload of Controller Pak saves to the PC using and explorer window and "drag & drop".

The price might seem a bit too much some might say, $29,95, but if you looks at it this way; A DexDrive is today $19.99 at ebworld.com and then there's $10 for the cable itself, well then it doesnt sound too bad, that is IF you're using emulators, which most of us probably arent, hmmm? heh.

THE MISSING DEXDRIVE REVIEW
Oops, seems like I updated just a bit too fast and forgot to add the DexDrive review, well It will have to wait until I return home.

BUNG UNDERCOVER?
Well seems like Bung has formed a new company, check out their website here.

DEXDRIVE SAVES ARRIVES
Yes! I finally got my hands on a DexDrive, it turns out it was WAS/IS released in Europe without being advertised much though. Anyways I like this little unit a lot, eventhough it gets screwed up by some unlicensed controller paks, well read my review of the DexDrive here.

Our DexDrive page will feature both controller pak saves, but unfortunately there is no program yet which will dump the SRAM correctly so that it wont be screwed up by the DexDrive once it's being dumped to the PC. I've tested BlackBag's SRAM Manager V2.0 which should be able to do the job, but when you upload a SRAM from the PC to the DexDrive and then from the Controller Pak to the N64 cart, the SRAM Manager doesnt recognise the SRAM anymore and claims its just a normal controller pak save which cannot be uploaded to the SRAM on the cartridge.

THE Y2K DEMO
WT_Riker, of Obsidian, has created a Y2K demo which goes under the motto "The last demo coded in 2000, The first demo released in 2000!". Btw, the mod used, isnt it the old "Guitars" mod? Shame the sound is so bad on a PAL TV, using a V64 with the 3D Spatializer thingy switched off.
