Modern ROM hacks, such as those based on the "Mario 64 Multiplayer" patch by Kaze Emanuar and others, achieve this by cleverly rewriting the game’s microcode. They reduce draw distances, simplify certain particle effects, and optimize asset streaming to maintain a playable framerate—usually around 20-30 FPS instead of the original’s target 30. While not perfect, the very existence of a stable split-screen mode on original hardware (or emulation) is a feat of reverse engineering that rivals the creation of a small indie game. It transforms the ROM from a static artifact into a living, modifiable platform.
