Nintendo 64 accessories#Controller Pak

The Controller Pak is a storage medium for storing game saves for the game console Nintendo 64 is inserted into the slot of the N64 controller and corresponds as a removable storage media to memory card ( memory card engl. ) on the other consoles.

Since the Games ( DVD - ROM CD- ROM) are stored in the Nintendo 64 on modules rather than on optical media, the Controller Pak for saving the game is not absolutely necessary - Nintendo itself brought all their own games out with modulinternem memory. Some foreign manufacturers stopped - probably for cost reasons - it; their games therefore presuppose a Controller Pak to save.

Internally, there are 32 kilobytes large SRAM chip called the Toshiba TC55257DFL - 85L and needed for this battery. The memory is divided into 128 pages, of which 123 are available for saving the game, what a will until all 123 pages needs depending on the game. Regardless of the utilization of the pages is a limit of a maximum of 16 saved games per Controller Pak.
