... I'm still mad at Nintendo for not allowing copying of N64 save files... especially in my situation. As I've said before I for some idiotic reason saved my Rush 2049 save on my second, third-party memcard... now that card has worked perfectly for years, but once -- in early 2000 I think, not too long after I got it and Wipeout 64 (my first memcard game and the only game of note on the card at the time), but long enough for me to have beaten all the levels -- it messed up and erased itsself... now fortunately the second time through Wipeout was a lot shorter, but having my Rush save on that same card still scares me... I need one of those things to transfer save files to a PC... it would be REALLY awful to lose that file. Especially given how much stats Rush saves! The rest of the files on that card aren't too important, but that one...
Oh, and I have one third-party Cube controller. It's usable (though its programmable button broke. Literally -- it's in the Z position on the other side, but it broke and is loose, half inside the controller...), but it has a noticably worse analog stick (not nearly as sharp in control -- okay for some games, bad for stuff like F-Zero...) and a not too good d-pad...
