I've uploaded both of these for convenience.ДЇ-Zero 2 BS download (SNES) - This game was released on the Satellaview (Broadcast Satellite) modem extension for the SNES. Ura Zelda, however, was never released until a modified version of it came with pre-orders for The Wind Waker under a new name, Ocarina of Time Master Quest.I know Nintendo frowns upon emulation, as does F-Zero Central, but I feel an exception should be made for two F-Zero games released only in Japan on obscure formats. Due to the failure of the 64DD Zelda 64 became Ocarina of Time, and Zelda Gaiden became Majora's Mask, both for the Nintendo 64.

Three games in the Legend of Zelda series were to be released on the 64DD: Ura Zelda, Zelda 64, and Zelda Gaiden. The subscription cost was ВҐ2500 per month. The RandNet Starter Kit came packaged with 64DD machines and included everything a gamer would need to access the service. Launched in December 1999, the RandNet service allowed gamers to compete against each other online, play new unreleased games before they hit the stores, surf the Internet, listen to music online, and much more. Much like the SNES had the Satellaview online service in Japan, the 64DD had the RandNet service (named for the two companies involved with the project, Recruit and Nintendo). This would later be carried over to the Nintendo GameCube, Wii and the Nintendo DS. Unlike the N64, the 64DD can boot up on its own, without the need of a cartridge on the top deck, because it has a standard OS. To hook up with the 64DD, it needed an extra 4 MB of RAM for a total of 8 MB.

The main N64 deck uses its RCP and MIPS4300i to process data from the top cartridge slot and the I/O devices.

The drive works similarly to a Zip drive, and has an enhanced audio library for the games to use. The games on normal N64 cartridges could also hook up with DD expansions, for extra levels, minigames, even saving personal data. The new media for the N64DD was rewritable and had a storage capacity of 64В MB.

Sony's CD storage could hold approximately 650 megabytes (MB) of information, compared to the Nintendo 64's 32 to 512 megabit (4 to 64В MB) cartridge. It was intended to be Nintendo's answer to the Compact Disc that was used for Sony's PlayStation, which was cheaper to produce. The N64DD has a 32-bit coprocessor to help it read magnetic disks, and to transfer data to the main console. Most unreleased 64DD games were either canceled or released as normal Nintendo 64 games. As a result, the 64DD was only supported by Nintendo for a short period of time and only nine games were released for it. Nintendo, anticipating that their long planned out disc drive peripheral would become a commercial failure, sold the system through a subscription service called RANDnet, rather than selling the system directly in Japan to retailers or to consumers. However, the 64DD was delayed until its release in Japan on December 1, 1999. At E3 in 1997, Shigeru Miyamoto speculated that the first games to be released for the new system would be SimCity 64, Mario Artist, Pocket Monsters, and EarthBound 64. Unfortunately, there was no playable version of Creator available at Shoshinkai 1995. This game advertised that it could be implemented into other games, allowing replacement of textures and possible creation of new levels and characters.

One of the games that was featured for use with the 64DD was Creator, a music and animation program by Software Creations, the same company that made Sound Tool for the Nintendo Ultra 64 development kit. The 64DD was announced at 1995's Nintendo Shoshinkai game show event (now called SpaceWorld).
