I have a controller pak plugged into my controller for my N64, but Wipeout 64 keeps insisting I don't. I try going into the load/save area of the game to try and get some more sense out of it, but it keeps asking me to plug it in.

Has anyone else had similar issues to this with controller paks and wipeout 64?

I don't have many other games for my N64, one other of which I know uses the controller pak and seems to use it just fine.
