These fields could be tuned in replica cartridges to adapt to the actual maximum physical speed that the ROM can be accessed, but please pay attention that many emulators expect to find the 4 "standard" values here and actually use them as a "fixed ID" to detect if the ROM dump was byte-swapped.
 
If you are an emulator author, please make sure that your emulator can load a ROM with arbitrary values in these first 4 bytes, and assume the ROM is in plain "big-endian" format (not byte swapped, not endian swapped). All modern homebrew ROMs should ship in plain format anyway, as the other formats are obsolete and strongly discouraged.
