However, there is a tiny bit of code—about 2KB—hidden inside a specialized microchip called the (Peripheral Interface). The Security Guard:

Software to manage the custom graphics and sound coprocessors developed by Silicon Graphics.
The N64 BIOS was written in a combination of C and assembly language, and its development required close collaboration between Nintendo, SGI, and other partners. The BIOS was initially stored in a 4MB ROM chip, which was later expanded to 8MB in later revisions of the console.
