- lawlessone 2y agovery funny :)
- wengo314 2y agoin case you don't know, some Gameboy games required to have Nintendo logo in the game data as part of copy protection. allegedly that was legal protection against bootlegs. https://www.copetti.org/writings/consoles/game-boy/#anti-piracy https://www.copetti.org/writings/consoles/game-boy/#anti-pir... Playstation2 used something similar. ( https://github.com/mlafeldt/ps2logo https://github.com/mlafeldt/ps2logo ) I suppose it gave companies in question additional legal leverage - they could not distribute copies of games without violating the trademark laws.
