I'm playing Resident Evil 2 on an UltraHDMI modded N64, and with the expansion pack installed it keeps switching between 240p and 480i. The UltraHDMI doesn't handle 480i content well (combing artifacts EVERYWHERE) so I was wondering if there was a GameShark code or a ROM patch I could apply that would force RE2 to ignore the expansion pack.

A few games do not use anti-aliasing which result in a sharper picture. For example Hydro Thunder or Automobili Lamborghini.

Quake 64 does even have an option to turn anti-aliasing on and off. That made me wonder if it's possible to turn off anti-aliasing in other games as well. Probably with a GameShark cheat code?

LuigiBlood has been kind enough to host them along with the original dumped disks.
