@biggestsonicfan The moment you disconnect communication to the CIC, the N64 will simply stop. These special checks are triggered when the game detects that the CIC 6105 challenge / response algorithm is not working. This will happen when playing with a flash cart that usually uses CIC 6102.

I'm finally getting around to the N64 pass-through cart that allows you to turn off signals to the CIC chip. I hope to test The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's supposed anti-piracy routines. Kicad board layout from @jago_85's github repo here: github.com/jago85/Brutzel…

Today we have released Dinosaur Planet by Rare for Nintendo 64. The development was halted and moved to the GameCube, where it was then released as Star Fox Adventures. Enjoy! (More info in this thread). Link to the dump: illusion.64history.net/dumps/Nintendo…

@kurtjmeyoung @UFp64 @AshEvans81 @Official64Mate @shanebattye From time to time a could work a bit on the project. Still didn't upload everything on github. I think the UltraPIF will be available in some shops soon. There are some features I want to add sometime, but the main region free feature is working almost 100%.

@jago_85 @UFp64 @AshEvans81 @Official64Mate @shanebattye Did you have time to work on the ultrapif @jago_85? I hope, that one day I get my hands on one 😊

Having to rebuild my PIF controller as I believe this is what is holding the boot up of SM64. Working over the week on this and hope to get some results very soon on this.@AshEvans81 @Official64Mate @shanebattye

@UFp64 @kurtjmeyoung @AshEvans81 @Official64Mate @shanebattye I'm here if you have questions about the PIF. Maybe I can help. Btw.: I'm only one person 😉

@kurtjmeyoung @AshEvans81 @Official64Mate @shanebattye Yep I have. I have read most of their code but it looks like they are using a custom cpu in there system that I’m not able to bring over to Xilinx. If anyone knows if this is not the case, I would be happy for suggestions

@UFp64 @kurtjmeyoung @AshEvans81 @Official64Mate @shanebattye The FPGA is handling the RCP interface and buffers requests / responses. It also has interfaces to controllers, EEPROM and CIC. The STM is doing the hard work. I uploaded the STM's code here some weeks ago: github.com/jago85/UltraPI…
