Posted on Oct 07, 2010

My N64 has been having the same problem lately with my Majora's Mask game losing sound, the picture going weird and eventually freezing this happens aprox 1 to 2 hours after i start playing the game. What is wrong with my console the expansion pak or the cartridge itself?

Does this happen with other games? If so, it's the console, becasue working N64 consoles are difficult to find. If not, it is the cartridge, and you might want to clean it.

    Majora's Mask is the only game that i have that requires an expansion pak every other game works fine and i have cleaned out my entire console, including the cartridge (everyway you can possibly clean without opening the casing)

The B button on the Classic Controller will not work with my downloaded Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. I bought another one, but still am unable to use my sword and duck.

If the button works in other games then by process of elimination it sounds like the game is the problem. I would contact nintendo about the issue and possibly get a refund for the game.
Thank you,
Lee

My n64 keeps freezing, a lot of times before it freezes the game goes silent. meaning all the sound in the game goes away and your still able to play for a couple minutes before it actually freezes. any...

Well the console might need to be cleaned out then. Dust causes video game consoles to over heat 10 times faster than there normal heating rates. Theese pictures might help you out then.

N64 freezes while playing

The Nintendo 64 is notorious for overheating problems.  This is a very common problem.  With my N64, I play it while a fan is blowing on it.  This usually prevents the problem.  Try this method.  It should work.
Hope this helps!!  

Please give feedback.

Game freezes at exact same spot

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