Jumper Pak things

[ToastBucket]

Is RAM on an N64 linear? Like if I wired a jumper pak directly to the RCP and left the RAM behind it on the traces would it still work? So instead of having it like it is on the board: RCP->RAM->Jumper, It would be RCP->Jumper->RAM.

Dear god, not this again.

It could be, try it, tell us what happens.

Burd. When we had that conversation in chat, I wasn't positive. I'll try it when I get a board unless Jelly pops in and tells us.

Yes, but I'm fairly confident that the terminating resistor packs still need to be at the end.

 

[Mako321]

I'm fairly positive that conductivity doesn't go one only way, toast.

 

[ToastBucket]

I want confirmation though, either from testing or jelly.

 

[Mako321]

The *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing traces go straight there with nothing else inbetween, how could it be different?

 

[ToastBucket]

The traces go there with RAM inbetween

Wouldn't that terminate the RAM before it is even accessed; IE: not work? The jumper pack goes after the RAM, the traces end there, it terminates the RAM bus. I think it's linear. If it's not, well Toast, prove me wrong and make an awesome step in portablilizing.

Basically what I said. You can solder the memory to the RCP, but not the terminating resistor packs.

 

[Mako321]

Owait, I thought we were talking about the thing toast and I were talking about before, wiring the jumper to the ram.

If the same traces connect to both memory modules and end at the jumper pak, it should work. Conductivity works that way. However, I don't see what you would gain by doing so.

 

[βeta]

I do, and I think it's a great idea. Be careful with your heat sinking.

I don't like how toast gets credit for ideas I had weeks ago that I was arguing with him about.

Why dont you try it yourslef, lazy ass.

Don't got the parts, racist roosterass.

cndnanian or whatever you are is not a race. Nor does it deserve an uppercase letter, or correct spelling.
