Mr Backup Z64 - disks & roms

[robbievgb]

Well My buddy recently upgraded his Z64 unit to use a SD flash card to IDE adapter. Since I was the one who lent him the ZIP drive to copy all his backed up games, I ended up with a folder full of 34 ZIP disks, full of N64 roms.

Now most of these are ripped directly form cartridges he used to rent back in the day, so you'd have to load them into an emulator to see game the names (I threw a few in my PC and the names are all nonsense), but most of the disks are labeled with what games are on them and some even include notes on how to load the roms correctly. There's a lot of love and attention that went into this little binder.

Sadly I do not own a Z64, nor has N64 emulation really ever perked my interest. I've been assured by other friends if I need N64 roms, they are attainable by other means, and after seeing that I cannot tell which roms belong to which game unless I load them into an emulator, I realize I do not have the time to take on such a project.

So, does anyone have any idea what the hell I can do with all these (besides toss em?)

Just toss them. Especially if you have no use for them.

All the N64 ROMS are easily accessible online.

I'm sure someone out there with a Z64 would appreciate them. Keep asking around.

My Z64 is broken... :\ I think the bios chip is fried... I ordered replacement chips once... but couldn't figure out how to flash them.

PM Jeffro11. He has an EEPROM burner and sometimes programs chips for people for a nominal fee.

Toss 'em. Z64 users can run pretty much any old ROM you would download for an emulator as well.

Slightly off topic, since there seem to be some Z64 users here... is there still any place to get an upgrade from a Z64 model 1 to a model 2? The seller I was familiar with vanished just before I was going to upgrade, back in the day.

Well, someone has requested them, I knew someone here would want them
