Nintendo 64 Game cartridge not saving?
I had a great day of playing Mario 64 and I saved it, but after I turned the console off, all the files were erased! I know it's not a problem with the N64 because other games save perfectly well. Is my cartridge fixable?
I agree with the first poster, the internal battery has died, but they can be replaced. Have a look round on the net for instructions or someone willing to do it for you. Of course, it may just be cheaper to buy a new copy of the game!
Alot of my old SNES games have just started doing this which is quite upsetting..

Back in the early days of video gaming, let say around mid 1980's, you had the choice of a personal computer or a game console to play games at home with. PC's were not as complex as today, but they were changing constantly. Screen resolutions changed, processors changes, processing speeds changed. It all depended on what you could afford, options abound. The PC user had to educated in how to use the PC for every type of software that it used. Advanced users could tune the PC to get better performance from it, as was needed to play most PC games. New PC games pushed the boundaries and required upgrades to play them. Consoles were found on the idea that a user should not need to configure the console to get it to work with each new game as it became available. The average person could buy a console and take it home and be playing it within minutes. This has been the backbone that video game consoles have grown on.
You could always count on your console to play any game that you bought for it by just plugging it in. Consoles usually leaded in sales that stuck to this guide line. Consoles that wandered for this basic principle lost sales or floundered and went out of business.
The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) will be our starting point. The time line for video game consoles is unbroken from the NES introduction in 1985. the NES was simple to set, just hook it up to a TV and plug in the controllers and a game cartridge.
Next came the Sega Master System. It also was simple to use, plug it in and play. Now we have two game consoles fighting for the consumers dollars. This competition will lead to a confusion in the world of video game consoles years in November 1995.
