Functions as a 64-byte buffer cleared by a cold reset

Syntax

s32 osAppNMIBuffer[16];

Description

osAppNMIBuffer is a 64-byte buffer that is cleared on a cold reset. If the system reboots because of a NMI, this buffer is unchanged. The game can use this small buffer to hold data just as if it were a variable. If the game needs a larger buffer, that buffer needs to be located outside of the 1 Megabyte boot segment.
