"Banjo-Kazooie's Stop 'N' Swop: Rediscovering the N64's Hidden Gem"

A hacker named Skawo has showcased Banjo-Kazooie's long-awaited Stop 'N' Swop feature on actual N64 hardware, fulfilling a childhood promise. The feature, which was meant to allow players to swap cartridges and unlock special items, was removed due to the risk of damaging the console. While dataminers have already uncovered the secrets, this is the first time the feature has been demonstrated as originally intended, using a flash cart and a custom version of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

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

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.
