The SMRPG cartridge comes with a processor that is faster than the SNES one.
- toast0 3y agoSure, but the snes game came with a second processor, you might not have counted that. (But it probably doesn't matter)
- 29athrowaway 3y agoWhat I mean is that the SNES cartridge for Super Mario RPG had a SA1 enhancement chip which is a processor that's faster than the one shipped with the original console, the Ricoh 5A22. So unlike most games today which are mostly a ROM device, SNES games were actual computers on a cartridge.
- toast0 3y agoOh I see.. I thought you were saying that the switch cartridge had an embedded controller that was faster than the SNES processor (and probably the SA1 chip too)
- skyyler 3y agoIn a roundabout way, yes. But I think they were saying the chip in the cartridge this time is faster than the chip in the cartridge last time (which was still faster than the SNES's processor)
- pierat 3y agoThere was also a host of anti-ripping tech in there too. We had bad rips for like 2 years after it came out.
