I guess I had it with the Mario cart when I was trying it and thought I tried RS as well. See title of post. :( Ah, guess I didn’t fire it up then.

It's just the non-memory, but I guess it still sends power or signals or whatnot through it, so it needs to be in there to function. Rogue Squadron, however, is one of the first games to make decent use of the Expansion Pak, however, including a high resolution mode. Yep, that’s it.

Little black thing in in the front top of the console, right? At any rate, I was able to fire up Mario and Rogue Squadron, so something must be right. Actually, I do have that jumper thing.

As far back as the NES their cartridges were referred to as Game Paks, and the tradition of awkard unique K continues to this day. The two parts of the Wii controller are officially the Remote and the Nunchuk. "Even if I did find it, I still wouldn’t be able to play it, because my N64 doesn’t have the required Expansion Pak." Half right. To my memory the only games that flat-out required the Expansion Pak were Donkey Kong 64 and Majora's Mask. Others used it for things like higher resolution, or in the case of Perfect Dark allowed for some more game modes, but you could still play them. Ocarina of Time used the Expansion Pak in no way. HOWEVER, if you sold him the Expansion Pak, I bet you didn't have the Jumper Pak, or whatever it was they called the "blank" that sat in that slot when you'd originally buy the console. With nothing in that slot, you actually can't play anything at all. Though I guess if you actually got a Majora's Mask warning screen, I might have that part wrong. “(spelled incorrectly, I might add – boo, Nintendo)”
