Someone else posted this before. The article text is badly written and hard to understand, which is a shame as the pics are good.

Yeah, I couldn't follow it really well, but the pics are very nice. I wasnt sure if it had been posted or not, but either way, not everyone has seen it, so I figured I'd post it anyway.

Is anyone here into homebrew N64 much? I know almost nothing about it, but I would like to learn some things.

It makes a standard N64 compatible with the other parts of the official N64 dev kit as far as I can tell.

I happen to be good friends with the author of that article. He's European so naturally his English won't be that good.

This mod is completely useless unless you happen to have a very rare and expensive KMC Partner-N64 development system. The mod is simple adding a few wires to the cart slot to enable runtime debugging.

N64 homebrew is also a real pain in the butt. After doing it for 2+ years I wouldn't recommend it unless you've already written lots of 3D code for PC. It is really fun though.
