Hi everyone, I got my partner n64 today, it was just a barbones unit, with no software and no docs, but it is working perfectly, and came with a nice little extra.

Anyways, the connection to the cart is just standard IDE, so do you actually need the pci, or ISA card to communicate with the cart or can you communicate with it with the right software and hooking it up to either and external ide card( a pci card for older computers to give them IDE compatibility.), or your motherboard via ide???

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
