N64 Forever Pak 64 - 256KB Battery-free Memory Pak for Nintendo 64

The Problem

Original, official N64 controller paks store their save files on battery-backed SRAM chips. These volatile chips only store data when they are supplied power, which is supplied by the battery. But once the battery dies, so does your data stored on the chip it was powering. This means every controller pak, along with the data on them, is on a ticking timer. While new batteries can be soldered in, lost save files cannot be recovered, and the pak will eventually run out of battery and cease to function again.

The Solution

Rather than using battery backed memory, forever paks use modern, advanced, nonvolatile memory. The memory chips are not battery backed, allowing it to last indefinitely. The Forever Pak has 256kb of storage, the same as an original OEM pak. 

The Good Stuff

Forever Pak uses high-quality injection molds with high-grade plastics. Custom circuit boards utilize gold plated contacts, with beveled edges to help prolong the life of your controller.  It feels like the real deal, but for the absolute purists out there, Forever Pak's circuit board is compatible with the original controller memory pak's shell. This means our PCB can be installed in an official first-party shell without any modifications to the shell, should you desire.

You Get a Sticker

Each Forever Pak comes with 2 sticker labels that can be applied to the face of the cart. These are useful for writing down what's saved on the game pak. Or you can leave the pak blank and stick them on your forehead. The choice is yours. We wont judge.

Color Conscious 

Our injection molded shells were carefully tuned to match the official controller colors. Everyone has a favorite N64, and unlike their matching controllers, you don't have to pay extra to get the one you want.

FAQ

Q: Does the Forever Pak work with the Dex Drive?

A: We have been told it works with the Dex Drive but it must be formatted using the Dex Drive before you begin playing and saving. 

 

PLEASE NOTE:
THIS IS A CONTROLLER MEMORY PAK FOR SAVING GAMES. IT IS NOT THE MEMORY EXPANSION PAK THAT IS INSTALLED IN THE CONSOLE.

    Fantastic Upgrade

    So glad I was able to get this and transfer all my saves over to this new Memory Pak without worrying about my saves being lost. Was able to preserve my Mario Kart 64 ghost times and Rayman 2 save data. Thanks Stone Age Gamer!

    N64 Forever Pack

    I absolutely love the N64 Forever Pack. Have been using it with my Brawler64 wireless controller for Tony Hawk 2 and it looks great. High quality. No issues noticed. It works well and doesn`t give you that pesky ``corrupt memory card`` message I always got with my previous 3rd party memory cards. Definitely recommend for N64 fans.

    Jungle Green Forever Pak

    Posted by David S on Jan 15th 2023

    So far it`s been working great! I transfered my saves off my old memory card, and so far its been working great. The color is a bit darker than the Jungle green n64, but matches the retro bit n64 controller. Still looks great in either though.

    I got the forest green one and the quality feels great. Came with two label stickers. A must-have if you plan on using the everdrive for your N64. I would highly recommend it.

    Just knowing that I don't have to worry about my saves relying on a battery. Hopefully they'll do it with a sd card in the future
