UltraCIC

Nintendo 64 CIC Clone

UltraCIC is a clone of the Nintendo 64 copy protection chip, the CIC. This code is meant to run on a PIC16F1613 microcontroller.

Note that the code omits the seed and checksum data which is necessary to boot this code on a console. Adding this data is left as an exercise to the reader.
