I apologize if this is the wrong place for this, not sure where to go. I recently bought the raphnet n64 controller to usb adapter and a v3.3 gameshark. So far I have been able to transfer all my 4 and 16kb EEPROM saves (with exception of Banjo Kazooie and Ep1 Racer, still trying to figure those out)
From what I understand this method will not work with games that use the 256kb sram or the 1 meg flash ram. The main game I'm trying to save before the battery dies is Mario Golf, it has save data from playing with my dad including hole in one and albatross replays. I have 6 other games I'd like to backup (Ocarina, RE2, Pokemon Stadium, Majora, Paper Mario and Smash) but ultimately they can be remade with playing them again. Mario Golf can't.
Through my research it seems the recommendation is to connect the parallel port on the gameshark to a win98 PC and then dump the whole games and somehow extract the saves from that. I've also read that this may not work with a 3.3 GS as some have had the parallel port disabled. Also I don't have a win98 PC with a parallel port.
Does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to accomplish this without spending a bunch more money?
Thanks!
