Hello, n64 cartridges are outdated for that reason exactly. They have a small space to save game info. A quick off and back on is actually the way you reset the memory. Say you bought someone else's n64 and each game you loaded had saved info on it. Powering off and then turning it back on, would erase that data and allow you to start your own game. Once your 64 went instantly off, it reset/erased the saved info. Unfortunately there is nothing I know of to get it back. Sorry. Hope this helps though.
I will refer you to a page on Wikipedia that explains it -- but the simple explanation is that the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pack increases the RAM on the N64 from 4MB to 8MB. There were a few games with improved graphics and game play that REQUIRED the expansion pack.
Yes you can remove the Expansion Pak from one N64 and put it into another. However, your N64 will NOT work without either the Expansion Pak or the Jumper Pak in that slot. The original memory card that came in there was called the Jumper Pak which was 4MB. The Expansion Pak was 8MB.
Did you buy a bootleg or OEM expansion pack? Use a butter knife to pop it out, the system will play normal when you put the original back in or get a OEM expansion pack.
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
Plug an N64 controller into the "Player 1" port on the Nintendo 64.

3
Insert a Nintendo 64 game into the cartridge slot on the N64.
4
Hold down "Start" on the N64 controller.
5
Turn the Nintendo 64 on via the "Power" switch on the device. After the console loads, the Controller Pack menu will appear on the screen.
6
Release the "Start" button on the N64 controller.
7
Browse through the saves listed, using the N64 controller's directional pad.
8
Highlight the game you want to erase.
9
Select the "Delete" option. The pages that were occupied by the game save will be erased from the Controller Pack.
10
Repeat Steps 7 though 9 until you're finished erasing pages on the Controller Pak. Restart the N64 if you wish to play the game that was inserted into the device, or turn the Nintendo 64 off if you are done using the console.
The blank screen is usually caused by a faulty connection.
If you are sure all of your cables and the expansion pack are installed correctly, try removing the pack and blowing on both the expansion bay and the expansion itself to knock any loose dust out.
If that doesn't help, check the expansion pack and then the the bay for damaged or bent pins. Check the game cart as well.
If everything appears undamaged, you may have a broken/defective expansion. See if you can get your money back and then try to find another one from a trustworthy retailer or friend.
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
