I believe this will mostly affects games which were lacking in technology.

I’d personally LOVE to see The Sims 1 or The Sims 2 re-released with performance and resolution upgrades, and, most importantly, made to be open world. Since they’re older, I believe they could very easily render the entire map like The Sims 3, but with the charm of TS1 or TS2.

I cannot think of other games, since most games I see as adequate, whereas TS1 and TS2 were bound by system performance during their respective times.

        I didn’t know EEPROM could die on N64 cartridges. Is it replaceable?

          Technically yes, but getting a replacement is hard. You need to harvest the EEPROM from another game that uses an identical one.

            Oof, yeah that’s rough. Are you aware of any documentation on N64 individual cartridge hardware? I had it in my head that the carts would never die (silly, I know) but if I had one die on me I would want to repair it if possible

              Dunno if there is an archive where you can search which one is used in the cartridge you want to fix. This is a list of games that use the same EEPROM as DK64 specifically:

              Banjo-Tooie

              Conker’s Bad Fur Day

              Cruis’n World

              Excitebike 64

              Kobe Bryant in NBA Courtside

              Mario Party 3

              Mario Tennis

              Perfect Dark

              Ridge Racer 64

              Star Wars Episode 1 Racer

              Yoshi’s Story
