1. General information.
The Source
This information was gathered from the North American versions of these games. As far as I know, there are no differences in the save functions of these games’ other-region releases, such as PAL or JPN. There could always be the oddball game that saves differently in some other country, but none such game exists to my knowledge.
The Rundown
Games with both: 14
Games with internal: 79
Games with memory card: 189
Games with passwords only: 3
Games with no save: 17
Total: 302
Controller Pak? Controller Packed!
Nintendo’s official name for the memory card is Controller Pak; only Nintendo-branded memory cards are labeled as such. Third-party products are generally labeled Memory Card or Memory Pak/Pack, but they serve the same function as Nintendo’s Controller Pak.
Furthermore, Nintendo’s filing system uses different terms than the memory cards for other gaming systems. A “note” is the same thing as a “file” on other systems, such as GameCube, PS2, etc. A “page” is the same thing as a “block” on your new-fangled devices such as Wii, XBox 360, etc. Cards come in only one size: the upper limit of notes (files) is 16, and the upper limit of pages (blocks) is 123. Third-party products claiming to have more than 123 pages are actually separated into switchable “memory banks” of 16 notes and 123 pages each.
A few games confuse the terms explained above, and they are:
-Extreme G confuses notes with pages.
-Fighting Force 64 refers to pages as blocks.
-Multi-Racing Championship says Requires 45 pages of game notes.
All memory cards use SRAM and therefore require a CR2032 battery to operate. If your memory card can hold saves only while the N64 system is powered on, you may need to replace the battery.
Regional Compatibility
Memory cards are region-free: any card from any region will work with any system and game. Not only that, but game saves from any region can exist together on the same card. Below is a screenshot of Morita Shogi 64 (Japanese save), Stunt Racer 64 (US save), and World Driver Championship (UK save) all happily residing on the same memory card.
2. Games which support both forms of saving.[G2S]
