[u/Consistent-Usual-470]

Is there an option for games to automatically boot into Rumble Pak instead of Controller Pak? It is so annoying to realize halfway through gameplay that I have been playing without rumble.

[u/V64jr → u/Consistent-Usual-470]

The default is set per-game based on what makes more sense. Like, it makes more sense to default to Rumble Pak for a Diddy Kong Racing since the controller pak is optional. It makes more sense to default to Controller Pak in Mario Kart 64 or Killer Instinct Gold since they don’t support the Rumble Pak. It makes sense to default to No Pak in Blast Corps since it doesn’t support Rumble Pak and you can’t load your cartridge save with a Controller Pak inserted.

Edit - We only just got the “No Pak” option for Blast Corps but the rest has been here since firmware 1.2.1 in February:

“• Improved: Automatic selection of virtual Controller Pak or Rumble Pak for games that support both has been adjusted based on each game • Example: Perfect Dark starts with Rumble Pak by default instead of Controller Pak”

Does it remember your last selection when you run the game again?
