Thanks! I love these little gaming mysteries

I present to you junk.bin:

I started off trying to find my way through the game's assembly, but I got lost almost instantly. I then turned to playing around with editing memory values to try to flip whatever bit caused the slideshow to run. I eventually found where the game was keeping track of the menus, and noticed that one of the values changed depending on which menu you were in. If you edit the value and select a menu on-screen, it would change to the menu corresponding with the memory value, regardless of what you select in the game. After plugging in a bunch of numbers into that address, eventually the slideshow appeared!

It's not as good as getting the code, but it can be accessed by using a gameshark with the code 8013CEBF 0038 and selecting any menu option. I did this with an emulator, so I'm not sure if it works on a N64 hardware.

Did you post here first? If so, points to Giant Bomb.

Yep! I pretty much have this site up all the time, so it was right there when I got the right one.

You get another red cube, it goes behind the 64-cube door with the other cubes. As far as I can tell, nothing else happened.

Now I just wish I knew WHY that's the answer

I was following a bunch of threads on this across multiple forums, and pieced together a list of combos to try to brute force, and came up with the solution after trying ~1300 of them

While standing on the square with the line in it (the one symbol, opposite the square used to raise the monolith), enter down down LT RT RT A up

how much control over their storytelling do these artists really want to seed to the player?

'Seed' should be 'cede' here.

...sorry, it jumped out at me.

Opera 11.50 here, same issue when logged in. Line returns after every link in an article.
