TechnicalCPU: R4600 RISC processorSOUND: ADSP2150 The game will come up with a blue screen and it will remain blue if the hard drive is missing. If the screen turns red, you will hear "DANGER!!!" This indicates that either the Hard Disk and/or a ROM may be corrupt. TriviaContrary to what some believe, Killer Instinct does not use a modified Midway T-Unit architecture. Instead of the TMS34010, an R4600 RISC processor was used for the main CPU. This game does use the DCS DSP for sound and music, though. It showcased Nintendo's promotion for the Nintendo 64 system as the ULTRA 64.Legacy
