found this on the net (alert, pictures are very big): http://www.altitude-import.com/Bitmaps/N64/PhotoPI-1.jpg http://www.altitude-import.com/Bitmaps/N64/PhotoPI-3.jpg http://www.altitude-import.com/Bitmaps/N64/PhotoPI-4.jpg http://www.altitude-import.com/Bitmaps/N64/PhotoPI-2.jpg It looks like an adaptor for smart carts. I think you can watch fotos from a digital camera on a tv screen with the nintendo64. I have never seen this beforce. Does anyone know something about it? And is it a 3rd party peripherial or an original nintendo product? it looks intersting. maybe I'm going to buy it. how much do I have to pay for such an rare/obscure item? sorry, very much questions. I hope someone can help me, thanks
Its an official product, mario no photopii I believe. Importaku is your man to talk to on this sort of thing.
Thats Mario no photopi. Its basically an image manipulation program. You take your photos from you camera on your smart media card & insert it into the cart. You can then add different borders & graphics to your picture. The 2nd slot on the cart was for expansion graphics cards, with those you could add extra images. When you were finished you could take your edited pictures & have them processed at certain chains of photo shops into cards or stickers & lots more. As for rarity/value. Its not super rare but it is uncommon to find. They sometimes pop up on ebay. as for value, on its own around £15-£30 The extra expansion graphics card are a lot harder to find. Usually £10 each but they usually found as sets.
urm, what resolution do you use? concerning that object, it looks very interesting to me and it's also the first time i see this, gotta keep an eye on it thanks for the info importaku!
Here is nintendo japans info on it, you can see more how it works here.... http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/photopi/index.html
Just had a look on ebay, your in luck theres one up now with 3 expansion cards. http://tinyurl.com/ds839 Good starting price too (^_^)
is neo_geo_71 someone from these forums? or does anybody know him? if not, i'll hunt that one down! hrhr
I got a complete set of Mario No Photopie. Does anyone know how I can view the extra expansion cards? the N64 Cartridge recognizes the cards correctly, but it seems that the cards are empty. In which menu can I view the contents of it?
Hmm not sure but are you placing the expansion card in slot 2 as thats the only slot you can use them in?? I cant test mine out to help as i never got round to getting the expansion cards.
I tried slot 2 and slot 1 here is a photo of the manual: http://img129.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc92&image=c241e_IMG_8017.jpg
