On 5/1/97, an illegal Nintendo 64 copying device, the "N64 Doctor," with an optional MPEG Player, was released in Hong Kong. This device is a CD storage unit that comes with a large memory capacity which, like 16-bit copying devices, has upgradable memory slots. The N64 Doctor also contains an RS232C Port and can connect to floppy drives, PCs, and the rewritable CD-ROM attachment. The MPEG module is optional and has a very high frame playback when used in conjuction with the N64 (in Asia, devices with MPEG adapters are very popular). The manufacturers of the N64 Doctor will be implimenting an Online service later to help with trouble-shooting and other resources. It will be interesting to see how Nintendo reacts to this new, illegal threat, which the company has attacked with many years of endeavoring in lawsuits in the past. The current price for one of these devices is about $400. Pics of N64 Docter:
