n64 cart pin outs?

Post by bentendo64 »

I am starting an n64p and the cartrige connector doesn't work with a few games. i rewired it and one of the games does not work with the expansion pack, and crusin' usa says the internal memory is not accesable. im guessing 1 or more of the address bus wires isnt connected properly, which is why i want the pin outs to the cartrige connector. all of the wires are shorter than 3 cm.

Go over each connection and make sure you didn't swap two of them? It'd be pretty much impossible for the N64 to even get that far because the address and data are multiplexed onto a 16bit wide bus. Check your wires.

I got it to work. heres how: there was no problem in the first place. apparently, the game that i was testing it with doesnt work with the expansion pak. but that might also be because of any of these reasons:
1. I dont have a controller for the system
2. Or, the cartridge needs cleaning
