    Which backup unit? There are a handful you can get. If you're able to give me a preference I could show you where you could find one.

    The one in my Avatar is the Doctor v64. You can get one for around the $300 bundled with a N64. The one that can run the most games would be the Doctor v64 Jr. But doesn't have a front loading bay. Instead you must use a PC in order to use it.

    If you want, you can get a NEO Myth flashcart.

    As far as backup units go, my favourite options would be a V64, CD64 or a Z64.

    You can buy a V64 or a CD64 from GameDoctorHK.

    There are images of the V64 I got from GameDoctorHK on my blog if you're interested. :)

    Just sit tight and wait cause the a couple new n64 flash carts are about to be out , like the everdrive 64 made by krikzz ,everything he makes couldn't be more simplistic to use just put the sd card in your computer and copy and paste the roms on to the sd card and the everdrive will do the rest .

    Though with the everdrives you may want to make a folder to keep stuff organized

    also marshall is making a 64drive flash cart , both of these cart will allow you to play pal game on and ntsc n64 .

    they will be more compatible than the z64, doctror v64,or cd64 .
    and will cost less the everdrive 64 will probably cost $140 no more , if it is that high.

    So , whene these flash cart will be released ?
    I read a review about N64 NEO Myth Cart , it seem a very good piece of hardware ... what is the difference between this and 64drive and the everdrive64 ?

    Thank you :)

    Takeshi's right. Unless you've got a specific reason for wanting an older backup unit, you'd be much, much better off waiting a week or so and getting an Everdrive 64 or a little longer for marshallh's 64Drive.

    The Neo Myth cart is expensive and the software for it is crap.

    I'm reading the first looks of both everdrive64 and 64drive ...

    I think that 64drive is the best and have also a good look :) I think that I'll wait for this cart !

    According to the official site , the 64 drive will do these things :

    Loads software off a CompactFlash memory card

    Organize files and folders to your choosing, and use the menu to make a selection

    Most games load in 2-3 seconds

    Handles saving automatically
    Supports 99.9% of all known images
    No additional dongles or cables required to update features

    AND IT IS ALSO GREAT FOR CODING HOMEBREW !!! COOL :D

    Exactly right, I bought mine cause I wanted it for my collection really.

    If you want something to play images off, just get a everdrive :)
