I recently bought my first N64, and I have a lot of questions on how to get started with it.
The space for a jumper/expansion pak in my N64 came empty, with neither pak to go with it. Do I need both paks, or will I be fine with just getting an expansion pak? Is it worth it to get a 3rd-party pak for cheap, or do these have issues that official paks don't?
I'm going to get myself an Everdrive flashcart, is the X7 only worth it if you want to save without having to reset and/or you're planning on playing Animal Forest? I don't mind having to reset and I'm not interested in Animal Forest, are there any other benefits to getting an X7? There's also the developer USB port, is this needed for anything outside of developing homebrew/ROM hacks? I do want to play homebrew/ROM hacks, but I have no intentions of making anything.
I plan on playing a few games that require controller paks, but I don't want to have spend too much money on them. Are there any ways of moving the save files to an SD card, and swapping them around whenever I want to play a certain game (E.G. transferring out Mario Kart 64 ghost data to make room for Duke Nukem, then swapping the data back when I want to play MK64 again)?
I've heard that there can be issues when using an AV-to-HDMI adapter with the N64, is this true? Am I fine to get any old adapter, or would I need to get either a fancy adapter or an older TV?
If there's anything else I should know, then please tell me! Thank you for bearing with me :]
