With the help of the Expansion Pak, you can play certain games like Donkey Kong 64 and Zelda Majora's Mask. The Pak increases the memory of your N64 from 4MB to 8MB. This allows your system to compute faster, resulting in better graphics, resolution, and frame rates. There are numerous games where an Expansion Pak enhances your visuals. Due to the large size of modern televisions, you often get poor image quality. The Expansion Pak significantly improves the image quality. A real recommendation for anyone who owns a Nintendo 64 Expansion Pak.

Makes the N-64 complete
With the help of the Expansion Pak, the gaming experience becomes even greater! The graphics and game speed improve significantly. In games like Star Wars Rogue Squadron, the difference is huge. If you have a larger TV screen, it's also better to get an Expansion Pak, as the image will be less 'stretched out', allowing you to enjoy a big screen experience better.

Not much functionality
The Expansion Pak is a cool piece of hardware, but the price of this obscure accessory and the games you can play with it can be off-putting. It is necessary for playing 2 games, but these happen to be two of the best games for the console. If you are interested in these games, you should definitely buy the Expansion Pak, but for games that use it for better graphics, it comes at a cost: a terrible framerate.
So, for Majora's Mask and Donkey Kong 64, it's a good purchase, but for the rest, I would say don't do it.

Doubles your RAM from 4 to 8 MB
Nintendo always thinks ahead, and as the console had been out for a while, larger games started hitting the market that required an expansion just to play them at all. Think of Donkey Kong 64 & Perfect Dark, both top-notch games by the way!

And there was Nintendo with the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pak. With a special tool, you could remove the Jumper Pak. The tool was included with your Expansion Pak.

The Expansion Pak doubles your working memory: from 4 to 8 MB of RAM. Looking back now, it might not seem like much, but back then, it was revolutionary!

It provides better graphics and higher frame rates than the Jumper Pak. My advice is always to replace the Jumper Pak with an Expansion Pak for an enhanced gameplay experience.

How does an Expansion Pak work and how do you install it?
An expansion pak is an upgrade for the Nintendo 64 and provides an extra 8 MB of memory. The expansion pak is physically inserted into the Nintendo 64 between the power and reset button, where normally a Jumper Pak (4MB RAM) is located.

Which Nintendo 64 games require the use of an Expansion Pak?
Games that specifically indicate support for the Expansion Pak benefit from shorter loading times and improved graphics. There are two games that do not function without an expansion pak: Donkey Kong 64 and Zelda Majora's Mask. Additionally, a portion of Perfect Dark is not playable without an Expansion Pak.

What are the benefits of the Expansion Pak?
The Expansion Pak is mainly used to increase the resolution in most games (potentially with a lower frame rate), but also provides the potential for impressive special effects in games like Donkey Kong. Think of shimmering ice blocks, bouncing fireballs, and realistic lighting and shadow effects on characters and environments, as seen in Donkey Kong 64.
