we all know what the expansion pack does...adds more ram improves grafix ext....would wiring multiple packs together do anything worthwhile to your games?....would the system even notice the packs there or that its so much more then 4mb?...

random thought but i'm sure someones tryed this by now....

I don't think it's just that easy really. I am pretty sure it would require a shit ton of work for anything remotely like that to be possible.

And after your done wireing them all together so that they work don't forget to program some games that will be able to utilize the extra RAM.

so none of the games that use the extra ram now would notice any difference?...

i was just thinking of an easy temp wiring at the connector at the bottoms then wiring that into the expansion slot

No, if it worked at all there would be no difference; no games were programmed to utilize any more than 8MB of RAM. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I might just be talking out my ass here.

Not sure how the n64 bus works...pretty sure you cant wire on another ram pack. And even then existing n64 software wont use the extra ram.

I'm sure none of the games were programmed to utilize more than the max RAM the n64 could handle.

Check out this really awesome WTB thread that I found, I heard this guy wants games at the cheapest rate possible!  Now on the look out for Unlicensed NES!

You'll ruin the N64 by just wiring them together. If you attempt it (not recommended), put the video on Youtube.
