N64 On everygame my N64 keeps restarting itself and then goes straight to the begining sequence of the game. ex It restarts itslef on Zelda it goes all the way back to the shiny N. What the hell is the deal? But i need advice that doesnt cost money like "Go get it fixed" im broke and have no way of doing that. Please help.

Well you know on how computers will sometimes reset them selves when they have an error in the sytem so you see that an N64 console internal parts are similar to a computers pieces but it has a much more simpler software so when the resetiing goes on it saya its going to fix its self but i can't fix its self so this will keep on redoing all over again annyoing. Does it show and error on the tv screen too? So to fix it you need to install a new mother board for the system then.

Well its because the system is going bad for the console and it needs new processing software
You know how computers redo them selves when they have someting wrong with their software so an N64 console is like that but a simple software so when it re sets its self its like im going to fix it but it cant so this will just keep on happening 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

If you save in a temple and quit, it will always take you back to the beginning of the temple. Even so, you keep your progress through the temple like rooms visited, chests opened, and keys found.

the av cable is probibly broken in the inside so get a new av cable goodluck:) please rate this solution...

The memory is saved on the game itself, not the console; therefore, the issue probably lies within the game. Try blowing into the game cartridge and the system to clear up any dust. If that doesn't work, your zelda game most likely won't ever save anything again; you'll need to either get a new N64 zelda, a version reformatted for gamecube, or download the rom and emulator to play it on your pc. Hope this helps! :)

The original GameShark for the N64 only works on certain games. During the N64 era, game creators would often include code on the game itself that prevented the use of a GameShark. It is possible that you can find a newer version of the GameShark that would work with this so called "blocked" games, but it might be difficult.

I'm assuming that this is the GameShark Pro for the N64. If so, the button is used to find and create your own cheats, such as infinite life, infinite ammo, etc...

To use this feature, start the game, say a first person shooter, and load into a level and when you are ready to begin playing, press the button. The GameShark screen will show up and you can say "search for code" or "search for changes" something like that and the game shark will run a diagnostic that it shows on the screen. A number will appear noting the number of lines of code executed since the game loaded. When it is finished, press the button again and it will return you to the game exactly as you left it. If you are trying to get infinite ammo, simply shoot once and press the gameshark button again to search for codes again. When it is finished, the number it shows will be much smaller, since much less lines of code have executed since the last run. Press the gameshark button again to return to the game and continue the process until you have only a few, say 5 or less, or even just one code left on the gameshark diagnostic. This code will be the one that dictates the amount of ammo that you have. By altering this code with the gameshark, you can either start with an extremely high amount of ammo, or have infinite ammo entirely. The key to this strategy is to do as little as possible between code searches so that you can quickly narrow down on the code that you trying to alter. Hope this helps.

Your game or game data is corrupt/ dirty. Try using compressed air to clean your N64 game port and the game.

you need to clean the drive or replace the laser.

im not sure but i know that on my zelda games it just pulls it when it needs it
