Ok, hugely important question. Does SM64 play like the original with the controller. Does the analogue stick when pushed forward makes Mario run fast or do you have to press another button to run?

I bought it on DS hoping that I can relive this masterpiece and it was unplayable as I had to press one more button to make Mario run.

I bought a used N64 just to replay it and the damn cartridge plays fine but does not save !!!

 

Some help, would be appreciated Nintendophiles...

It's the Virtual Console. It's as identical to the original as you can get without the original cartridge, analogue controls and all.

As for your particular cartridge, it sounds like the battery died. If N64 carts work at all like SNES cartridges, it should be relatively simple and easy to replace the battery.
