regarding PSU for N64

Post by Elrinth »

Can I use PAL PSU on a japanese N64?
Or do I need to get a tranformator and use the jap PSU with the jap N64?

You mean the expansion pak? Yes it will work fine, they aren't region encoded like the cartridges.

The only accessory I've found that didn't work across regions was my Transfer Pak. Could just be broken though.

I have the Japanese red label "64GB" transfer pak and it works fine with my North American Pokemon Stadium games and vise versa using the grey label North American Transfer Pak with the Japanese version of Pokemon Stadium.

You could try cleaning the contacts with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol first on the controller pak insert end and using a Game Boy cleaning cart to clean the Game Boy slot. Also you can clean the controller pak slot in the controller itself with a cleaning cart. They can be very finicky to where any slight vibration will show an error message in Pokemon Stadium 2. Cleaning does help thou bring them back to life most the time.
