Your GBC games,
on your 64.
Drop in a .gbc or .gb file and get a .z64 cartridge for your flash cart. It carries our own GBC player, built for the console.
Free. Runs in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.
Free games to try
Made with Shiny Gen. Ours to give away, so take a cartridge.
How it works
- Bring your game. A .gbc or .gb file you have, like a dump of your own cartridge.
- Make the cartridge. Cart64 wraps it, unchanged, together with our GBC player into one .z64 file. All of this happens in your browser.
- Play it on the TV. Copy the file to your flash cart and start it. Runs on original N64 hardware and on the M64, from any flash cart that runs homebrew .z64 files, like SummerCart64, EverDrive 64 and 64drive.
Questions
Can you play Game Boy Color games on an N64?
Yes. Cart64 puts the game and our own Game Boy Color player for the N64 into one .z64 file. Copy it to a flash cart that runs homebrew .z64 files and it plays on an original Nintendo 64 or an M64, with saves. Step-by-step guide
Is my game uploaded anywhere?
No. The cartridge is built on your device. The file you drop in is never sent to us or anyone else.
Which games work?
Most GBC and original GB games: carts with no chip, MBC1, MBC2, MBC3 (with its clock) and MBC5, up to 8 MB. Carts with special hardware, like a tilt sensor or a camera, are not supported yet, and Cart64 tells you before it builds anything. Compatibility and tested games
Do saves work?
Yes. Battery saves are kept by your flash cart, the same way N64 game saves are, and survive turning the console off.
What about games with a clock?
The in-game clock runs while you play. Time does not pass while the console is off yet.
Which controller buttons?
D-pad or stick to move, A and B as on the handheld, Start is Start, and Z or C-down is Select.
Does Cart64 have games to download?
Only the free Shiny Gen games above. We do not host or link to any other games. Cart64 packages files you bring.
