Donkey Kong 64 & Expansion or Jumper Pack

Donkey Kong 64 was one of only three Nintendo 64 games to require the Expansion Pak (the others being The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and Perfect Dark), which provides 4 MB more RAM for enhanced graphics and more expansive environments, as well as to fix a game-breaking bug.We don't think that you can play this game with no expansion pack. I have tried to play perfect dark with no expansion pack and it was not all there then.

your looking for the "expansion pack" its needed to play the games on the n64, it is located on top of the n64 towards he front of the console. that little door/flap between the power and reset button. get one online for cheap. like ebay or something. keep in mind there are 2 different kind of expansion packs on is black. it is the standard one. one is red on top, that one is better and will play all n64 games like donkey kong 64 and zelda ocarina of time

ok heres what you do you need to open the panel between the start and reset button pry out the jumper pack thats in there then you need to buy a extension pack and put that in then u can play

just pry it out with a flat head screw driver and replace it with the expansion pack, you can always put the exp pack back in plus I dont think you would still have a warrenty on a n64

The rumble pak is optional, all it does is shake the controller during gameplay. The expansion pak is required to play the game. It increases the Ram inside the console to 8MB. Some games its is optional, While others it is required.
Donkey Kong 64, Perfect Dark, Starcraft 64, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask all require it for all the feature to be accessable. There may be other games that use it but they do not require it for the most part

ivon_lopez is correct, you need an expansion pack to play those games

Clean the control deck and the cartridges. Check the input cable to the TV.
Hope this helped :)

I would just look at the bottom of the RAM and see if there isn't any dust, I get that problem with my NES and NES games only diffrence is it shows a pink screen instead of a blue screen. I clean the treads of the cartrages including the RAM with a very light damp cu tip. Hope that works out.

You're talking about Donkey Kong 64 right?

If so, you need to buy an Expansion Pak.
