Runehero, I'm getting confused. Have I understood this right?
When you collect an SnS item, a value in the format XXYY is written to memory. This same memory slot is used for all SnS items, and if you collect the Pink egg and then the Ice Key, the record of the Key collection will overwrite the record of the Pink Egg (in RAM I presume, not on the cart's EEPROM (?) ). You are implying that the area of data being written to is the area of the N64's RDRAM in which a swap's transitional phases would occur. Did I get any of that right?
If all of the above is exactly what you are saying, and this data is indeed written into RAM not ROM, what happens if you reset the game? I didn't understand that bit. If you collect the Ice Key and the data is written to RAM, what happens when you reboot the N64? Does it keep writing that value to memory until the 'swap' happens, as the patent would imply?
