- inigyou 2mo agoI think a lot of the early flashcarts were piggybacks. I was never into that scene though.
- monocasa 2mo agoThe main pirating route at the time (a device (oh which there were several) that sat under the N64 and had either an Iomega Zip drive or a CD drive for holding ROMs), had a port for inserting a real cartridge to use its lockout chip.
- cubefox 2mo agoYeah, though piracy is not the same as publishing unlicensed original games (bootlegs) like Xibalba 64.
- inigyou 2mo agoAs far as Nintendo's concerned, it is. Their method of piracy prevention at this point was putting a lockout chip on every cartridge, and attaching their license fee to the lockout chip. Your homebrew cartridge needs one too.
