Japanese N64 help

[alxbly]

Hi,

Just ordered a Japanese N64 to play NTSC games on, but have a few questions about using it. What I want to know is:

1) Can I just use a UK N64 power pak, or do a need a converter?

2) Can I use UK controllers on a JPN N64, and vice versa?

3) I assume I'll need a seperate memory card for US and/or JPN saves. Or can they be on a card with UK saves?

Lastly, does anyone have any advice when I come to cutting out the tabs inside the console so that it'll also play US games. I've got 4.5 and 3.8mm gamebits ordered so opening the console shouldn't be a problem.

Any help is really appreciated.

1) Yes you can use a english PSU on a us/jpn machine. Thats how im running mine.

2) Yup

3) Jpn & us saves can live happily on the same memory card. Not sure about pal saves.
