N64 Passport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
N64 Passport
Is one of the two items for the N64 that were released by EMS. The 'N64 Passport' is a cartridge, that plugs into the N64 allowing players to play games from Different regions, such as Japan, North America, and Europe. It works by placing a 'Boot' cartridge (for the system being used) in the back of it, and inserting a Non-region game on the top. The N64 Passport by EMS Production Ltd. a Hong Kong based company, uses the back cartridge to unlock the system, so it can allow the top cartridge to play. There are three different version, with the "N64 Passport Plus III" being the final version released. The 'Plus' versions also have a Action Replay with Cheat codes.
Even though this allows certain PAL region version games (Europen games) to work on NTSC Televisions and N64 consoles, certain games have an additional lock out Screen that says, "Sorry This Game Pack is not intended for use on this system." "This game is not designed for use on this system." which the Passport Plus can't pass, even with the normal boot codes. Some of these special games that don't work with the Passport are;
Taz Express
Bust A Move 3 DX
Premier Manager 64
F-1 Grand Prix 2
Michael Owen's World League Soccer 2000
All other known codes for the N64 Passport to allow Pal/NTSC games to be played, can be found at their site. Their other N64 product the GB Hunter, also has a cheat code type setup, which is called the 'Golden Finger.'
