About the Adaptoid™

The Adaptoid is the ultimate N64 to PC interface. It's powerful, compact and easy to use and requires no additional hardware or power source to run. What's more, the Adaptoid is actually two products in one!

Use the Adaptoid to plug your N64 controller right into the USB port of your computer and you can play games on your computer using your N64 controller! The Adaptoid will work on computers with Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Mac OS. Just imagine, you can use the N64 controller you already own and are familiar with to play games on your computer. But there's more! The Adaptoid also supports the Rumble Pak with games that support DirectX force feedback. Feel the power and excitement as you do battle! Oh yeah, one last thing... there's no calibration required - its all automatic. Just plug it in and you're good to go!

The Adaptoid can also be used to store Nintendo game saves to your PC - extending the storage capacity of your Memory Paks to the size of your PC hard drive. This feature requires Windows 98. The included software will allow you to upload and download the data at the click of a button. You'll be able to store all your game saves in one place and even share them with your friends. Your game saves can be e-mailed or posted on websites for everyone to envy and enjoy! If you feel sorry for some loser gamer, you can share your superior game saves with them (after they pay homage to you, of course).

Using the Adaptoid to Store N64 Game Saves on your PC

Now you can transfer all the game saves and other stored information from your Memory Pak to your Windows 98 PC, extending the capacity of your Memory Paks to that of your computer! Just imagine, you'll never have to purchase another N64 Memory Pak again!

Because the Adaptoid uses your controller to transfer your Memory Pak data, there's no need to remove the Memory Pak from your controller. All you need to do is plug the controller into the Adaptoid (which you can safely leave plugged into your computer) and away you go*. Happy transferring!

• Transfer game saves from a Memory Pak to a PC and vice versa.*
• Your game saves become files on your PC that you can e-mail to your friends, store for future use or post to websites.
• Download game saves from the web to help get you through those sticky situations in your N64 games. (As a last resort, of course . . .)
• Transfer data directly between two Memory Paks when you use two adapters.
