Happy 2026! We're starting this year with a new page for 007's Gadgets. The first of three GoldenEye 007 strategy guides has also been scanned and uploaded. You can find Prima's GoldenEye 007 strategy guide here.
Welcome to The GoldenEye Depot
This site is an effort to collect and curate information about GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64. There's a lot of good information about GoldenEye on the internet already, but there's also some bad information and speculation presented as fact. In addition many fan sites have gone offline over the years. This site's goal is to be an accurate and reliable source for anyone who wants to learn about GoldenEye.
Most screenshots on this site are made with the 1964 GEPD Edition emulator. It's pretty accurate and makes high resolution screenshots possible. There are a few niche situations 1964 doesn't handle well such as Line Mode. In those cases I use the ares emulator.

New content has been added in the Game Mechanics, Prerelease, Bugs, Interesting Stuff, and Resources sections. I'm also preparing the level select menus for the Prerelease and Multiplayer sections of the site. For the most part there is yet to be content within the individual level pages.
The Japanese game manual is now uploaded and available for your perusal. Also check out the Japanese box insert.
You can also browse through this promotional mailer sent out by Nintendo of America short before the game's release.
The multiplayer section now lists all the game's weapon sets. Eventually this section will have maps for every arena.
There is also a brand new page for early development documents including the game design document. If you scroll down on that page you'll find a reproduction of the original design document that fills in the blacked out areas we weren't able to see before.
The first iteration of the Audio section has been uploaded. It includes all GoldenEye 007 music tracks and how they are used per level.
There are also a new scans of a Danish PAL box and a Japanese box in the Box & Manual section.
GoldenEye 007 promotional renders have been added to the Media section. You can also now find all the game's English language text files here in the Miscellaneous section.
The GoldenEye Depot is live! Currently only the Characters, Weapons, and Cheats sections have content. Much more is on the way! The goal is to make this site a GoldenEye 007 resource that is both deep and accurate. I'm doing some research on the original GoldenEye 007 Design Document so that it can be presented in full. I also ordered a Japanese box and manual so that those can be scanned and the images uploaded here.
Does this site remind you of the old Detstar.com? That's no coincidence. Detstar was one of my favorite childhood websites!
