Hey guys.

I am after a Nintendo 64 console from America or Japan (I know, I forgot to add it in my title). Basically just an NTSC Nintendo 64. Console only is fine for me. I am looking to pay some fairly good money for it.

I'd also prefer it if it were from someone who lives in Australia, as obviously the postage can go through the roof from America.

Please let me know if you are willing to sell one to me.

EDIT: I'm still waiting for photos from those offers plus anyone else who's interested in selling me a NTSC N64.

I'm from NSW and I have a Japanese NTSC N64 complete with all cables, instructions, box etc that I might sell. How much are you willing to pay for one? I also have US and Japanese N64 games including the special edition Japanese N64 Mario Kart box set with bonus 2 tone black and grey controller.

Please reply and let me know.

Are you able to take photos of what you have to offer? I will PM you my personal email address for you to send the photos to.

That looks like a nice collection. Let me know approximately how much you want for all of that, or I will let you know once I receive photos of the things you are offering. Thank-you!

Is this to play imports?
If so, cut the tabs out of the console you already have and you CAN play imports.

Yes, it is to play imports. I thought the whole tabs thing only worked for either Japanese and American consoles, since it's identical hardware.

EDIT: I just confirmed it. That trick is only for NTSC consoles, as the tab is the only thing that's different between the consoles. Just like the American Super Nintendo and Japanese Super Famicom.

how much do you want each for them?

It's not really what I was after, but it depends on how much you want for it

i dont know mate, they are rare and in perfect condition they are worth alot. It's a shame that three pins got broken and the zip drive went click click ... pop. They are worth over $300 each in working order (i expect nowhere near that) let us know an offer and i'll tell you what i think. (i Still haven't decided if i will sell either of them yet as they are VERY VERY rare.

Open the PAL console and cut out the tabs that stop the NTSC cartridges from going in. It works, trust me. It'll save you money.

Thanks. I'll try it tomorrow tonight. I'll just open the case and try it first before I go and rip the tabs off my good nintendo 64. If it doesn't work, i'll be back on here to give you heaps of s**t. hehe

EDIT: Well, I just tried what JackAz said to do. Of course, just as I had thought, IT DIDN'T WORK! Haha. Did it ever occur to you, JackAz, as to why they didn't just make port extensions so you could just play imported games? I have a converter, and surprise surprise, it has a piggy back system which requires a PAL cartridge to boot the NTSC cartridge. But the kicker is that it doesn't play all ntsc games!



Guys, if you ever wanted to know who you shouldn't trust on this website for helpful information, then that would be JackAz. See, I told you you were gonna get heaps of s**t from me. But it's all good, i'll forgive ya
