Nearly forgot (I was ill last week) that my replacement cart arrived for the N64:

Works perfectly and in much the same way as all the other SD card solutions I have for the likes of NES, SNES, Megadrive etc. Pretty pleased with it I must say, very easy to use and very fast.

It is. I have a 4Meg RAM cart, the SD cart and a memory cart in the controller. I have to say, I'm pretty happy with the Competition Pro controller, it works very well and has different levels of auto fire for every button. It turned out well, though I didn't have to do a lot.

And have you tried any of our game suggestions for any length of time?

Conkers Bad Fur Day? If you like British ahem toilet humour then you'll love the narrative in this 3D platformer.

With being ill I haven't played with it a lot, but that one did catch my eye whilst I was scrolling through. Trying to get caught up before I finish work for the year tomorrow, then I'm off to France for Christmas. Might have a good go tonight though as my wife is over at her Dad's.

It's currently running Ocarina of time in the background.
