I’m really curious what the M64 cart bus can actually pull off in DMA bandwidth (and capacity). I thought vintage N64 carts had been limited by the storage tech on cart itself, not the bus … how did that change with the M64?

Tried to look into it but so long as nothing was constrained on the underlying way to FPGA is wired up to that board the theoretical throughput is around 110–150 MB/s?

This is what I was thinking, but then I read something like real N64 games had been as low as 5 MiB/s to as high as 50 MiB/s which is quite a ways off from the estimated spec peak
