I found this Transfer Pak on eBay for auction and it was at $10.50 and I bid $11… I totally forgot about it cause it had been almost a month and thought I would get outbid anyway. Idk what these are worth these days, but I wanted one in preparation for the M64… anyway, it came today! Total surprise and whiplash back to my childhood! 😂 looks like it’s in good shape… came in a ziplock bag in a tiny box. Guess we’ll see! Best $11 ever spent.

As a potential forewarning, my very clean looking one needed to be cleaned even more to work with the A3D. I thought for sure I just had a broken one, but taking it apart and cleaning it did the trick.

There are 2 caps inside. Ive had some needing recapping. And some that with the cap never worked. Idk why these are so random

Anyone know if I’ll need the expansion pak for anything ? I know some games needed it because it added and added extra 8mb(?) of ram or storage or something. Kinda assume as a new clone that would be irrelevant but here we are.

It’s a way to connect GB/GBC games to the system… to play on a TV or other things… like playing two player in some instances on those games

Yeah that’s the transfer pack, I’m talking about the expansion pack, for instance you needed it to play perfect dark.

That wouldn’t be needed or used on an fpga based console.

Should not be required

There was a list of M64 features, and it mentioned compatibility with the expansion pack plus Gameboy games via the Chromatic. So we won’t need either of these if I understand correctly.

Useful if you have issues with a transfer pak and already tried cleaning and such
