Accessing the Hidden Bits
- ๐ The ebus mode allows for reading and writing to the hidden bits, but with potential corruption of the visible bits.
- ๐ก A technique using the CPU to write to the hidden bits is possible, but slow and limited.
- ๐ The hidden bits can be used to store data, such as dialogue or save data, but with slower access times.
Practical Applications and Limitations
- ๐ The technique can provide up to 10% more memory for games, but with slower access times and potential corruption.
- ๐ค The technique is niche and may not be useful for all games, but can be valuable for games with limited memory.
- ๐ The Analog 3D FPGA may not be able to emulate this technique, limiting its use to real hardware.
Conclusion and Future Projects
- ๐ The technique is possible and valuable, but with limitations and potential corruption.
- ๐ฎ The creator is working on a new N64 game that uses this technique and other N64 hacks.
