I also remember that on original N64 hardware that if the analog stick was pushed while the game was booting up the crosshair/selector would get stuck trying to go one direction.

I also remember this, very annoying. But once my N64 joysticks were worn out, I put the analog stick back a bit to not have to press it as much forward to have it react.

Just a heads up to anyone hoping to use this hack when you get round to patching it use the XKAS 0.6 from smwcentral linked in the patches readme and not the one from romhacking was having issues with my initial patch having garbled graphics due to opcode erros turns out the smwcentral one is an unnofficial fixed version which corrects this

thought id give folks a heads up as this is a fantastic hack
