N64 EXT Port

[digitaloracle]

Does anyone have any idea what the EXT port on the bottom of the control deck is used for?

There was a device planned (and probably made) for the N64 that gave the N64 storage space and I think internet connection: There was meant to be an option in Zelda 64 where you could download new levels and such. I think this is correct, but you're best off searching online for solid information

Thanks Duff, that's great!
That site promised to give us indepth information about the games for the 64DD, but I can't find anything!

Some information about the games. It's a shame this thing went belly up as some of the games sound great

It was forward thinking of them to put the slot on in the first place though

The EXT slot? I think it's standard practice as many consoles have expansion slots - snes, megadrive, mastersystem.
