Banjo-Kazooie's elusive Stop 'N' Swop feature finally revealed on original N64 hardware

TL;DR Summary
A modder has successfully activated the long-awaited Stop N Swop feature in the original Nintendo 64 version of Banjo-Kazooie, a feature that was originally planned but abandoned. The feature allowed players to unlock content by quickly swapping cartridges. The modder demonstrated the trick by inserting a modified version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which copied the required unlock information to the console's memory. This achievement showcases the functionality of the feature on original hardware, which was removed due to concerns about potential damage and compatibility issues with hardware revisions.
