I was just checking out an American games website and I came across a weire thing called a Dex Drive, don't know if you ever heard of it before but it saves your mermory card onto a hard drive and plugs into your PC, you can then send it to your mates in Japan, maybe, and they can download it onto their memory card and play it on their N64!! sounds great but don't know if it will catch on, just think how much time could be saved completing games! I think I proved my point in saying it won't cath on, but it's a good idea and I thought I would tell ya. It's $10, don't know what that is in £'s and don't think it's worth changing it as about five people will read this, maybe.

cheers for that, but I don't want to have to buy an adapter for one game, I don't like American versions anyway they're a bit different in graphics, the whole point of carts are for quick playing(plug n play) it's not the same principal with adapters.
Maybe I will buy one, but none of my mates have got N64s yet, i'm trying to convince them to but they're too tight with their mula

You're Right. Might get me one of them.

I dont think SR will mind you 'advertising' ebworld.com - its an American site, so anything you order there will cost about £100 in p + p.

Oh, and if you were looking for lylat wars on ebworld - they call it Star Fox 64 over there.

guess so, it could be good if it was cheaper but it would be hard to develop, it's on EBworld.com it's in black and white $9.99, I believe you, but you obviously don't believe me.
Sorry SR for advertising another website but it's crap and they have no where near as many offers as you do.
Would it be possible to get a copy of Lylat wars??????
please, no where sells it, it was in a second hand bin but some little kid nicked it when my back was turned!!
the last one in circulation!! and I didn't get it, I need that game!!!

I've seen them on sale in the states for $30 (about £20). Although they can be used to cheat, they can also save having to buy loads of memory cards, because you can save old game saves onto hard disk, which you can reload back to memory card later. Nice idea, but it didn't take off there, so it's unlikely we'll see it here.

If you think what it does, then maybe it should be a little more than that, but I doubt anyone will buy it, only cheaters. It's a simple converter from memory card to PC, very simple when you think you can download more complicated software off the internet.

Ten dollars? Are you sure? Thats about 7 quid! Surely the company (who, I believe, are Interact) can't make a profit.
