DX256, developed by Bung Enterprises Limited is the only one of its kind in
the world. As most cartridges only have 1 to 4 files for user to save, DX256 allows users
to save up to 256 banks. If a cartridge owner shares his cartridge with other users, e.g
brothers, sisters or friends and does not want to share the save file with them, the DX256
allows cartridge owners to let multiple users save
with only one cartridge. Studies have found that large number of N64 users rents
game from videogames rental shops like Blockbuster, etc. and a large number of gamers also
borrow games from friends or other sources. When the cartridge is returned, the save data
is also gone with the cartridge. N64 users will not be able to keep their save data like
high scores, stages completed, best times and etc and when they play back the same game
again, they got to start from scratch again. DX256 is designed for N64 gamers who do not
owned or have only temporary possession of the cartridge and needs to retain their save
data when they return the cartridge. It solves the common problems for N64 gamers who
wants to continue their game when they get/rent back the cartridge they have played before
as the save data is stored in the DX256 instead of the cartridge. DX256 is slot in between
the original N64 game cartridge and the N64. It replace the EEPROM (where save data is
stored) found inside the N64 game cartridge, save data will be saved into it instead of
the original cartridge and up to 256 games "save data" can be saved into it.
Usage when playing with
Original Game Cartridge
1. Make sure that the N64 is turned
off, insert the original N64's game cartridge into the DX256 and then insert the DX256
into the N64.
2. Select to the bank combination that
where the game is to be saved (e.g. A3, B10, N16). If a new game is played, turn to a new
bank combination where no games have been stored before. If the game has already been
saved into the DX256 before, select back to the original bank combination it was saved
before. (Please note: If wrong bank combination is selected, when
the N64 is turned on, new game save data will overwrite old game save data. If a saved
data has been overwritten, there is no way to retrieve back.)
3. Turn on the N64 to play game. Save
data will be saved into the DX256 instead of the original game cartridge.
4. To play another game, repeat
instructions 1-3. Make sure that the bank?game name is recorded somewhere so that it will
be easier to refer to in the future. (Please note: There is no way
to retrieve the game name if user have forgotten what is saved in the bank.)
