N64 game cartridge memory question

I recently found a N64 w/2 controllers at the local Salvation Army for $3.99 (it also included a Playstation w/no controllers that I took down the street and sold to EB for $8). Anyway, I picked up Blast Corps for $5 to see if the system actually worked. It did, but the game is nearly complete. Neither the system or game had any instructions with them, and I can't find a way to wipe the memory of the game.

So, is there a way to wipe N64 games in general? Is this just a isolated game that you can't access the memory?

It's not a big deal since the whole thing was free, but I'd like to play a couple old N64 games like Mario 64. Thanks for any information.

Memory Management Screen
You can access the Memory Management screen by pressing and holding
START, then turn ON your Nintendo 64 system. Continue to hold START
until the Memory Management screen appears. This screen allows you to
manage the information on your N64 Controller Pak. You may delete
information to create additional space on your Controller Pak. On the
Memory Management screen, highlight the file you want to delete and then
press the A Button. To exit this screen, press the B Button.

NOTE: Depending on the available pages on your Controller Pak, you may
save up to four games. Blast Corps uses a maximum of 56 pages of
information on your Controller Pak, 14 per game slot.

NOTE: Saved data may be erased if RESET is pressed, or if the Power is
turned OFF during screen transitions.

NOTE: If no Controller Pak is inserted when attempting to access the
Memory Management screen, you will be given the option to erase the data
on the internal memory chip.


don't know if it actually works, but give it a try

Thanks. Didn't find anything when I seached, but that did the trick.
