Thanks to Elitendo.com, here's a good (perhaps not complete) list of Boot Chips used by North American (US) Nintendo 64 cartridges. Those not on the list use the standard Super Mario 64 Keycode on your GameShark cheating device.

(I'll update this with more information when able)

Good one Wreck, I thought of doing something similar too, but I felt lazy, and I would probably overexplain and stuff... plus I'm having some fun with the Nintendo DS flashcart I recently won on a competition in another site!!!

I'd just like to add a little note for PAL/Action Replay users.
NTSC and PAL versions of any given game use equivalent CIC chips with the same numbering with two differences:
PAL CIC numbers start with 7, instead of 6:
6103 -> 7103
6105 -> 7105
6106 -> 7106
Additionally, x101 and x102 CIC numbers are switched like this:
6102 -> 7101
6101 -> 7102

NTSC Perfect Dark uses CIC 6105 and PAL PD has a CIC 7105
BUT
Goldeneye is 6102 in NTSC land, but 7101 in PAL
Despite the name change, the chips are equivalent.

PAL and NTSC CICs are only recognized by PAL and NTSC consoles respectively. You can make a PAL game boot on an NTSC system directly by swapping the CIC chip inside the cartridge by it's NTSC equivalent. This won't convert the video signal, though, and some games can somehow detect the difference and show an screen telling you that you are not allowed to use the game in that system, but that's another matter entirely.
