The listing, NINTENDO N64 Memory Expansion Pak TESTED IT WORKS! has ended.
This is for a NINTENDO 64 Memory Expansion Pak. This is tested, working, and in great condition.
Cosmetically, on the protruding side of the orange plate, there is a pen mark where it looks like a previous owner tried to remove it with a ball point pen (not effecting performance whatsoever).
This will be shipped in a bubble mailer envelope, wrapped with a layer of bubble wrap inside the envelope.

(WIKIPEDIA DESCRIPTION)
The Expansion Pak allows the random access memory (RAM) of the Nintendo 64 console to increase from 4 MB (megabytes) to 8 MB of contiguous main memory. The add-on was released in 1998 and contains 4 MB RDRAM, the same type of memory used inside the console itself. By increasing system memory, there is potential for enhancements to games designed with the added RAM storage in mind. The Expansion Pak is installed in a port on top of the Nintendo 64 and replaces the pre-installed Jumper Pak, which is simply a RAMBUS terminator.
A few games, including Rare's Donkey Kong 64 and Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask require it to run. Capcom's Resident Evil 2 used the Expansion Pak for making areas of the game and monsters more detailed. Perfect Dark had limited gameplay options when the Expansion Pak was not present. Supporting games usually offered higher video resolutions or higher textures and/or higher color depth. It was used in StarCraft 64 to unlock levels from the popular Brood War add-on for the PC version of the game. Many games such as Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness and Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine optionally used the Expansion Pak to add a high resolution 640x480 display mode for games, while other games saw the benefit of a smoother frame rate. The Expansion Pak was available separately as well as bundled with Donkey Kong 64. In Japan, the Expansion Pak was additionally bundled with Zelda: Majora's Mask and Perfect Dark, though the games were also available separately in other regions.
