* Cheat code's parameter saved function. New cheat code that you edit by yourself now can saved into the flash ROM bios.

* EMULATOR function. This is for the very able and knowledgeable programmer. It enables the programmer to have the ability to actually add their interpretation or program to a game, but it is a very skilful process. For professionals!

* Build-in CD ROM Drive ( 8x speed ) ( the CD operation system is compatible for 2x - 32x speed IDE CD ROM. )

* 128 Meg-bit RAM on board, expandable to 256 Meg. We use the most common RAM Module for the computer ( EDO TYPE,72 pin SIMM 4Mx4 Ram Chip -60ns ). So the end-user can up-grade or replace the Memory as for their convience. )

* Transfer SRAM function (Battery Save ). SRAM save data can be transferred between cartridge that used by CD64 and Ram Pack of controller.One standard Ram Pack can store 15's save data or 256's save data by using compression method.

* Multi-files function ( Can access V64 & SP64 format - swap byte )

* Backup Function Game cartridges download function.

* Internet on-line helps support.(www.cd64.com)

* Low power consumption. (Use ordinary AC adapter. DC9V 800ma )

* I/O PORT for PC-Computer .it can upload and download from PC by connection the:

Parallel Port adaptor: With the connection of Parallel Port adaptor to the printer port of your PC,you can communicate with you PC.

* Universal console compatible.

* Direct Joypad control. You can use the Game Console's controller to access the CD64.So CD64 has the ability to have more powerful features & function under the future up-grade.

De-protect card: Recently , N64 's release a lot of cartridge that they have software protection. ( Like Banjo Kazooie, F-Zero64, Pocket Monster, Zelda64 ) . So it let the user cannot download the games directly. Even you can download the data, but the game will start in Blank Screen. So the user usually need to wait for the PATCH to release. Otherwise they cannot play the game directly. An additional function for DECODER is you can make the sram save of those card. You need to insert one normal original card ( like mario ) for boot card, and another protected card ( like 1080, F-zero ) for the sram save. For permenant save, you need to using CD64COMM.EXE Version 2.10 to Grab or Transfer sram save data from/to N64 game card to your PC computer. Grab sram save data from N64 game card (256Kb): cd64comm -g -fsave.dat -sa8000000 -l8000 Transfer sram save data to N64 game card (256Kb):cd64comm -t -fsave.dat -sa8000000 Now we have just release a PROTECTED CARTRIDGE DECODER for the CD64's user. It allow them to download the game immediately and play the game without patch. ( old user need to upgrade to Bios 1.23 ). It is a big advantage over the other copier. On the PROTECTED CARD ADAPTOR , there is 2 slot. One slot is for ordinary boot cartridge , and the other is for the Protected Cartridge ( e.g. Snowboard 1080 , Banjo Kazooie ).

cd64 top side with opened hatch. This was probably done so you could upgrade/repair broken rom of the unit

a close up on my mod on the left side. I cut the part where the fan is, so the fan blows air onto the big capacitors feeding the cd rom drive. This was the major problem with the cd64-overheating! But, just having a fan is not enouph, so i added 3 switches. The first one is the on/off switch for the fan, while the second and third are the on/off switches for the +5 and +12 lines for the cd rom drive, so i could switch the cd rom totally off after loading a rom.

I'd LOVE to have one of those...I'm SO jealous!

Sure there are emulators and such but there is nothing like playing the games on the original machine.

yeah it is...

But with so many consoles (almost all of them) and so many games, i still have to get organized to use this, since to be able to save, you need some specific save type carts. I will buy them sooner or later anyway!

Backup units or copy-boxes always intrested me. I saw once on a game-exhibition one for snes. it was only a bit too expensive i guess. It was 350 euro, and i didnt know how much flashrom there was.

These backup units are realy nice, but like i said, always too expensive. For me its just easier to play somethimes a rom on the pc or something.
