View Full Version : Is there a device that can dump or back-up N64 saves?

I'm looking for something to dump my N64 saves, because I'm assuming people will figure out a way to use them on the Wii's virtual console and because I'm afraid that my battery-saves will be dieing soon... I don't want all that work to be useless. It would need to dump saves from both the N64 cart and a memory card.

Read before you post please.


The DexDrive is the only device I'm aware of. It only supports mempaks saves, and I doubt they're still being manufactured. Check ebay.

Well, are DexDrive saves compatible with emulators? Preferably 1964, Mupen64, PJ64 (most prefered to least)

N-Rage's plugin supports them, but to be honest I've never been able to get dexdrive saves to load. I didn't put much effort into it though; you might have better luck.

I still have original NES cartridges with battery saves and they still work, well over 14 - 15 years or so. I don't think you'll have to worry about your newer battery saves (64 carts) dying within the next couple years based on previous performance. :)
