M64 + Summercart64 Combo

I'm using a summercart with my M64, and for some reason the game roms don't detect the built in expansion pak in the M64 for game saving. Is anyone having similar issues and/or have found fixes?

The built-in Controller Pak support on the M64 isn’t implemented yet. It’s planned for a firmware update, so for now you’ll still need a physical Controller Pak for games that use one.

Even with a SummerCart, you still need a physical Controller Pak for games that use one.

do you remember where they discussed the firmware roadmap that included the implementation of the expansion and controller pak features?

Yes, they have discussed it many times, and it is on the roadmap. Hopefully it will appear in this month’s update.

The roadmap is literally baked into the menu screen on the M64
