Japanese Version Compatability

[evan rules]

This may sound like a silly question but I need reassurance before I go by the japanese version. Will it work on my 64 or do I need a Japanese 64? Thanks for helping

As far as I know, you will need an adapter that sticks into the NA cartridge slot on the 64, and allows you to plug in Japanese cartridges in the top of it. Friend of mine had one a while back to play Pokemon Stadium before it was released in North America.

or just use an emulator. PJ64 plays NA roms, Euro roms, and Japan roms. As for where to find the roms use this secret site:

www.google.com

I think he wants it for console.

If he just wanted to try it he can emulate it, but I think he wants console.

you can just break a small piece in your japanese cartridge to fit it in your n64.

too bad when i bought mine the guy already did it to me so i cant tell you exactly where to break it, but i think if someone is selling japanese version he may know what is needed to play on NA n64, ask him too!

Its actually very easy. But youll have to sacrifice one of your old 64 games. Basically what I did was unscrew the two screws behind the jpn. cartridge and replaced the back cover with a US. back cover from a different game (I used cruisin' world since the games whatever anyways).

You will have to buy a screw for it though that cost like 4-6 bucks. Or I can do it for you the next time I see you since I have the screw. (whenever that is lol) But it is pretty neat to play the jpn version just to hear the sounds and the tiny differences when the characters get hit.

And the differences in attacks... like puff's rest...

How much do you guys think the japanese version is worth nowadays? The only listing I saw on Ebay was for 50$.

Not worth that much as it has very few or almost zero DI

What if someone liked the lack of DI?

I got mine for $10 shipped lol

Lol... I'm thinking more the rarity of the game.

Well... o_O

I recommend to try it before buying it
