Just tried it and thank you, works great. Somehing I noticed: one of the metal battery clips will rattle, so I removed it. Plus it will remind you that the pak no longer needs batteries.
The N64 is definitely one of the most fascinating video game consoles out there. Thanks for making this video and showing us this trick! Also, cool kiosk setup--looks very fancy.
Makes me wonder why they didn't just do that in the first place. More support for rumble paks would have probably happened as it would be smaller and you wouldn't have to keep changing batteries.
from what i heard only two runble paks can be used any more that there wouldnt have been enough power. but they could have added a little more amps so that all the rumbles could be ran.
@@Davidevgen makes sense, I've only really thought of using rumble for 1 player but there was a much bigger focus then on local multiplayer. Though I can't imagine many people would have owned 4 rumble paks.
@@Davidevgen you can definitely run more than 2 of these all at once, I wouldn't haha, but there is enough power. I think it actually draws TOO MUCH power through the N64 console and Fs it up somehow is the way I understand it. Rumble paks went to batteries mid development after seeing the moderate success of another console that put 4 players stock in their system and this mid development shift is why (I think) these mods are possible in the first place, what luck! Thanks again for sharing this, I think it's amazing. I played starfox 64 in the kiosk just like this back when I was 8 and it blew me away. The rumble was intense for a little kid. I'm still playing that game. I guess whenever the algorithm decides this should be known is when this will be known haha. You'll probably have a million views on this eventually. 💯💯💯 ruclips.net/video/U855TBx2SA0/видео.html here's my vid, it's not that great, but it's meh okay.
Good stuff. I made a video modding these. Credit to you, this is seemingly still unknown and hasn't become common knowledge yet. Thank you for sharing this with the community.💯💯💯
great to know thank you, i was just looking online for replacement battery terminals and stumbled across this video. my only concern is has anyone noticed or heard that draining power from the console for the rumble...does it lead to any console damage? just curious. thanks
Very, very epic of you to show us this!! Man what a classic this N64 kiosk. Love it! How much did you got it for I'm curious ? (Also that's a fine Test Cartridge you've got in it right there! :) If you know it, Rev. A or Rev. B?)
its a rev A ive had the test cart for years. it wasnt cheap. i picked up two things a nintendo neon repair sign that nintendo repair shops had and the kiosk. i bought both for 4500. a gamers paradise is closing their doors and the guy called me up and said you can buy it, im done. before it wasnt for sale.
Hi could you please tell me the wire size that are connected to the rumble pack motor. Mine broke and I am trying to repair it. Don't know if they are 26 awg or 28 awg gauge. Thank you so much. Sometimes you can see the awg on the wires I was just wondering if you could see it on yours thank you.
Doesnt feel right or sound right, without the weight of the batteries. I had to put batteries back in and block contacts with cardboard after doing the mod.
thats cause i havent logged in in 6 months cause of youtube forcing creators to have to verify via the smart phone. i got tired of it. but they havent been forcing it so i guess they took the requirement out. ive been fine. very busy though with my buissness and computer repair and more.
Wow! You've been on RUclips for 16 years now! What's your Discord btw? I'm pretty sure I had it before but I deleted my old account so some people before I don't have their contact anymore.
ultimateARhacker #3841 and yeah its been a very long time. i still remember discovering youtube. i should post the time me and my friends watching youtube back in 2006 for the heck of it lol.

no problem! yeah i forgot to mention removing that lol.

i agree and with what is known today so many optimization can be made to make a game run good.
Thanks for sharing this. It's sweet. I wish manufacturers would allow us to repair/maintain our purchases. I guess it all boils down to money.
I just did this and it works amazing. The rumble is incredible and very noticeable.

Very cool
Cool !

i like it its so much lighter lol
@nesrepair I'd like it lighter, but the vibration doesn't feel the same and it's noisy.
@@bloomerb4162 remove the battery clip or add some toilet paper inside to keep things steady
Do you still repair Sega nomads or do you know anyone who does in California?
i was playing n64 on my emulator now im playing mario kart ds on emulator
I play too on emulator on my Android phone
Interesting...
Hey! I just found your content! I was wondering if you still did any Virtual Boy repairs?
yes i do :P do you need one repaired?
@@Davidevgen Yeah, if I bought one on eBay with display issues could I send it to you to be fixed instead of it being sent to me?
@@AkibaNepTurtle sure! you can contact me on ebay (jan082557) or discord UltimateARhacker#3841
Haven’t seen you in 6 months! How’s life been?
thats cause i havent logged in in 6 months cause of youtube forcing creators to have to verify via the smart phone. i got tired of it. but they havent been forcing it so i guess they took the requirement out. ive been fine. very busy though with my buissness and computer repair and more.
