gotta love the tiny PCB full of all the compliance logos :D in the meantime i just got my design produced for a 400V power supply that contains the labeling "DANGER ZONE!" and i figured if that doesn't stop you touching it i can't help you anyway :P
32:00 "uh right now where working on undo functionality, as thats very important" LMFAO also if you have ACE on the PIF, cant you just disable the CIC checks anyway ?
You can hardwire existing CIC into your system to bypass copy and region protection. But it won't work with all games. Unfortunately you can't just cut out the CIC reset line in the console like in the prior systems. The console-side CIC on N64 is integrated into PIF chip which does a lot of other things, so if you were to bypass its capability to jam the processor and RAM, you still won't have working inputs and such. It's desirable to have reproduction CIC regardless. There has been active homebrew scene with physical releases on multiple consoles now, on Neo-Geo, Dreamcast, Megadrive - with CIC reproduction, it becomes possible to make new cartridge runs for Nintendo systems too without destroying more existing cartridges.
@@nuthinnew He's right. I always called it "Tin Jen" until I saw an old CES video where a Tengen employee called his own company "Tin Gen[ji]" "Gen-ji G is hard G, like again, guy, great and so on"
Godamn man i really hope 7 years on the chemist learned how to do public speaking. so many "uh"s, i never realized id be so fixated and annoyed on that.
hey, emu author here. Good to hear hardware development / reverse engineering from others!. Cheers.
Definitely a mind blowing achievement😁

Great stuff !

Anyone know if anyone is making new n64 cartridges, for new homebrew games?
wow interesting talk
Isn´t it possible to hardwire cic or make a adapter pcb to make system region free?
My N64 plays all regions

It's a ring toss game.
Any way to bypass the chip entirely?
Ten Gen not Ten Jen.
