1 - Connecting the Doctor V64 to the Nintendo 64 ?
It's very simple. Remove the cache under the Nintendo 64 and insert the adaptor
which comes with the Doctor V64 in it. Then put the Nintendo 64 on the Doctor V64.
Normally, you should hear a little noise wich means the two devices are set in.

2 - How using the backup option ?
First of all, you must use a backup enabled Bios !
You have two option : use the TPC tool from Bung itself or use the great Rtool 64
from IceAge under Windows 95 that you'll find on my site in the Bios/Tools page.
With TPC, you can backup by pushing together the 2 buttons on the right of the
play button for 64Mbits games and these 2 buttons + the CH button for 96/128
MBits games.
With Rtool 64, this is much simple. You just have to click on the receive icon and
follow the instructions !

3 - How to backup non-standard sized games ?
Non-standard sized games are those of 96Mbits and 192Mbits. To backup them
you have to do like games of 128Mbits and 256Mbits respectively and then
decrease their size with a tool like Rtool 64. This is no other possibilities.

Download the latest version on my site and then upload it to the Doctor V64
from your PC with a tool like Rtool 64 as if you wanted to upload a game.

5 - How to increase the 128Mbits memory to 256Mbits ?
You have to buy a 128Mbits card from Bung Enterprises. You can access their
page with the link on my main Doctor V64 page.
When you have it, there is a socket on the bottom right of the Doctor V64.
This memory expansion will be necessary to backup/play future games like
Zelda 64 so think about it.
