Other than the Chinese language support, the iQue version has several other interesting IQP-related changes from the [[Super Mario 64#Shindou|Shindou]] version it was based off of. | Other than the Chinese language support, the iQue version has several other interesting IQP-related changes from the [[Super Mario 64#Shindou|Shindou]] version it was based off of. | ||

Graphics become corrupted on the IQP if the 13th bit of VI_CONTROL_REG is set, which it is by default on most (if not all) N64 games. This may have been an intentional protection against piracy or ROM injection. | Graphics become corrupted on the IQP if the 13th bit of <code>VI_CONTROL_REG</code> is set, which it is by default on most (if not all) N64 games.

The IQP does not have EEPROM, which is used to save data such as save file status in the N64 versions. Instead it has a removable flash cartridge in the back of the console. Save file operations in IQP games are simulated by reading from/writing to a special location in RAM, which is copied to the flash cartridge when the game is closed. The IQP OS functions have been modified to support this. | The IQP does not have EEPROM, which is used to save data such as save file status in the N64 versions.
