Secrets of the N64 Transfer Pak | Punching Weight | SSFF

[@StopSkeletonsFromFighting]

Hi everyone! FYI we made a mistake of wording with the video, you couldn’t use the game boy printer to print out your Pokémon in the way we mentioned in the video. (You could transfer the Pokémon you unlocked to your gbc cart and go nuts with the printer from there!) Otherwise you DID have to schlep your N64 picture data all the way to Blockbuster to print out your Pokémon pics. Also, the Wide Boy 64 didn’t make it into this video since it was never commercially offered and is not an “official” Nintendo product (and its crazy expensive!), but we want to cover it someday if anyone’s offering! ;) And for those that are commenting on it, the Power Glove was not manufactured by Nintendo however it was officially licensed and was a part of their product portfolio. In our mind it’s an inseparable part of Nintendo’s evolution from toymaker that makes video games to video game maker that makes toys. Thanks for watching everyone! See you in 2019! 💪🏻

[@TheNews1990]

You could do that with Pokemon Snap.

[@phreakazoith2237]

[@mrbisshie]

Yes, I'm sure people taking dick pics, and using them in a multiplayer shooting game would have been tons of fun. I alway thought that was one of the reasons this feature got cancelled.

[@Deepdarkbasement]

phreakinpher ... Rare was probably hoping someone would say that

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Fun fact: Miis, were originally designed for a 64DD title that ended up getting cancelled. Many of the specific facial features and hair styles that were used in the Wii and 3DS Mii Makers were originally included in the N64 game, which basically just let you MAKE Miis but then they just sort of wandered and did weird stuff. It never saw an official release due to the early cancellation of the 64DD and the main console lacking the power to run the game. Aonuma's initial concept of the title was greatly expanded upon and eventually released on the 3DS as Tomodachi Life.

[@AsyrafFile]

There is a Japan-only pequel of Tomodachi Life called Tomodachi Collection (NDS). One thing reason why Japan-only because issues with localizing the vocal synthesizer software.

[@mspeter97]

But.. Mario Artist Talent Studio had some form of the Miis in them for the actors didn't it?

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

@@mspeter97 It may have! I just remember seeing the original prototype for the software, and don't know as much about Mario Artist. You're probably right, thanks for the info!

[@stevethepocket]

That's crazy. I heard the story about how Wii Sports was originally going to be Mario themed and that the miis were used as placeholders during development. Explains why they were already available to do that with if they were created way back in the 64 days.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

@@stevethepocket While we're on that subject, Kirby Star Allies has basically been in production since the GameCube. The concept of having Kirby as player 1 and the rest of the players as captured/befriended enemies was first shown way back in 2005. A trailer was even made, but then the Wii came out and Nintendo announced intentions to release it on the new system instead. Star Allies has basically all of the same core gameplay but more befriendable enemies basically just due to more Kirby games having come out more recently that introduce them.

[@chugga]

Man, I remember having the genius idea of hooking up my gameboy color Mario Golf to the N64 Mario Golf on the only basis that the games had the same cover art and having it ACTUALLY work absolutely blowing my 10 year old mind. I couldn't comprehend how it was possible since Pokemon Stadium was released a year later than the Mario Golf games, I was convinced the transfer pak was literally programming data on the fly into both the gameboy and n64 counterparts. Ah, the innocent times before internet access :)

I got it when it came out and it ended up being one of my favorite GBC games. I remember wondering why more games didn't include the rumble feature, it was so cool at the time and to this day one of the only handheld rumble features.

One additional note to point out - The Surfing Pikachu ordeal wasn't exclusive to merely Pikachu in Yellow: it was available to any Pikachu as long as they were not registered within the registered sets in Stadium 1 and Pikachu was in every battle in Master Cup. I know this because I did this whole ordeal twice: Once with Yellow, and once with Blue.

[@strayiggytv]

I used the transfer pack extensively with stadium as a kid and wasn't carefully with it AT ALL. I was totally unaware you could loose your save if you bumped it. I guess I was just crazy lucky lol. Also for me as a kid using rental pokemon just seemed wrong. I was a tamogotchi kid and my pokemon were like virtual pets. I refused to use rental pokemon cause to my child logic they weren't my pokemon ergo they weren't special lol

The Transfer Pak is like a proto-amiibo now that I think about it. Not as much as e-Cards, but it's definitely an early example of cross-game data transfer.

[@mr.mystere4999]

I had more than one N64 controller. I put the Transfer Pak in my second controller and set it down, and used the first controller to play. The Stadium games did not require that the Transfer Pak be in the first controller.

[@clonefighter1996]

I assume the N64, when sometimes using the Transfer Pak to write to save files, doesn't update the checksum, thus letting the Game Boy detect that the file was modified, thus destroying the save. All due to that DAMN checksum.

[@NullConflict]

I know I'm replying to an old comment but... do you have any evidence for your assumption? If a simple checksum calculation/write fails the software/hardware is unstable and it's very likely the save data is also corrupted.

My testing team for Kirby Tilt 'n Tumble used a couple so we could record footage. It was strange having to hold the N64 to control Kirby, but also a bit more accurate.

[@matiasrivas1692]

Except you effectively need to use the transfer pack for the Stadium games. Rental Pokémon just suck; their move sets are generally awful and their stats are lower than normal as you didn't train them, their basically newly caught Pokémon in that regard. Also the AI sometimes uses illegal move sets and stats.

[@codieb5612]

This is true. I spent literally months upon months grinding like absolutely crazy as a kid, trying to get the last 3 trophies and beat the Elite 4 with rentals. It really, really just wasn't gonna happen. I ended up buying Red and a transfer pak just to beat the game, and was shocked at how easy it was with transferred Pokemon. Seriously, rentals are genuinely like 0 Iv's or something. Also, I guarantee an extremely small amount of players even KNOW that there's a Mewtwo boss fight and literally an entire hard mode for the whole game

Over my 4 years of playing Pokemon Stadium, i never lost my data with the pack. All my 6 boosted mewtwo made it easy as hell to beat the Pokemon Stadium League. One of the best things ( if u wanna play pokemon the gameboy game on ur tv ) was you could speed up your movement speed to x2 or x3 like an emulator.

[@Azuris190]

I love Pokemon Stadium, there is something special about it. You are training you Pokemon, beating the Top 4 and than, than you have to show in the STADIUM that your Monsters are the best of the best. But the Way they designed the hole Game, there is something how you move through the Menus and about the Sound Design, that is so much better than later Pokemon Games for big Consoles. Yeah, it is only an Addition to Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow, but it the ultimate Challange for everyone who loves the first and also the second Generation. Also, you can save all your Pokemon on Stadium, begin a new Game in the Gameboy and transfer all your beloved Creatures back to the GB. Edit: Ah and i remember having Issues when i was a Teenager, but i`ve cleaned up my Modules and now they are working flawless. But not the Module of my Girlfriend, i have not touched this and i tried like 20 Times until it worked.

I think it just unlocks gallery images though, so nothing too fancy there. Interestingly though Pocket Puyo Puyo SUN, when played on a SNES via the Super GB, will actually allow for two-player matches without the need for a link cable. Just plug a second SNES controller in and it just works like any other Puyo game. I think that's really cool.

You can use the Transfer Paks to trade Pokémon in Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2. Useful if you don't have the link cable. Only Pokémon Stadium 2 allowed you to Mystery Gift each day. Pretty neat. Also the rental Pokémon are pretty terrible. The evolved Pokémon would have weak attacks (so Charmander has Fire Blast while Charizard has Ember). You're better off just raising your own Pokémon.

Would a Gameboy Flashcart something like an Everdrive GB, work with the transfer pack? (since you can make the header whatever you like in a few minutes.) Alternatively a game genie with a apropriate code?

[@SmaMan]

The transfer pack needs a slight modification to do this, due to the Everdrive GB needing a little bit more power to function. If you did this, you wouldn't be able to use it with retail carts (unless you soldered on a switch of some sort.) Also, it's only the original Everdrive GB that would work for this. No one's found a way for the X3, X5, or X7 to work yet.

It was the most baffling and unintuitive thing ever to me as a kid, and I always just left the game running with the TV screen turned off to keep from losing my progress lmao

3:37 this was a weird sight. thats the same layout i have for my transfer pack sitting on my shelf. Right down to the same pokemon version and being to the right of pokemon stadium, wtf dude.

[@Ron-np9rp]

Does the cartridge have the same black marks on the top? If so call the police right now!

[@Hydr8Man]

If you change your name to Big Chungus I might suggest a potential situation that’s happening

[@Brentastrophe]

Had this just for Pokemon stadium, loved using it for Mario Tennis and my all time favorite GBC game, Mario Golf!

Correction: the Power Glove was /not/ a Nintendo peripheral. Yes, it was made for the NES but Nintendo had nothing to do with its production, it was all AGE.

LOVING that Mystical Ninja soundtrack in the background!!

[@trenthoman1010]

Tomba! music, always a good choice

[@famuel2604]

It seems like the big limitation was that you only really get an implementation of this device if you have n64 and game boy versions of the same game done by the same developer

[@retrogamer983]

It was called perfect head... lmao

[@autobotstarscream765]

Perfect Dark is an N64 Rare game, so I suspect the innuendo was delibrate. :3

[@Henners]

I remember reading about the GB Camera in perfect dark, and when it came out it was one of the first things i tried and was disappointed when it didn’t work.

[@Divinis1399]

No one gonna mention the Mystical Ninja music?

[@artiemilano378]

Divinis13 don’t worry we all are

[@stevematt89]

Best part of the video is by far the PS1 Toomba music in the background!

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

I GET IT DEREK, YOU LOVE GOEMON. ME TOO. No really keep using that music. Maybe sprinkle in some...DA-DASH DASH.

[@forcakong2396]

If I remember correctly, you could also play Pokemon Yellow via the first Pokemon Stadium.

[@Donnakilluminati]

Your eyes are so intense and captivating, it's almost scary but it's so damn alluring. Am I being hypnotized?

[@adksherm]

All that talk about perfect head...

[@joeldipops]

I'm working on an open source Gameboy emulator for the N64 that loads games in with the Transfer Pak. At this point in time it "works": you can plug in a gameboy cart, boot up the N64, wait a few minutes for the game to load into RAM and boom, there's Donkey Kong Land 2. Trouble it runs at less than 10fps and there's no sound. The ultimate aim is to provide single (and multi-)cartridge multiplayer, but looks like I have a LOT to learn about optimising N64 before I'll have anything close to playable.

One of the most useful unofficial things you can do with a transfer pack that wasn't mentioned: If you own an Everdrive for the N64, there is a certain custom written program you can put at the root of your Everdrive's SD card directory. Upon executing the program, it gives you the option to save or restore the RAM of the gameboy/gameboy color game inserted. In my case, I used this to backup my childhood pokemon yellow with all my pokemon still intact before the internal battery in the cartridge died!
