Modern Vintage Gamer explains the methods Nintendo used on the SNES to detect cartridge copiers and lock out backup copies.
The Super Nintendo was released in North America in 1991 and it featured an almost identical lockout chip from the NES known as the CiC. By 1994 cartridge based disk copiers became popular which easily circumvented any region protection. In this video we look at different methods Nintendo used to detect copiers and lock out backup copies. ► Consider supporting me - patreon.com/ModernVintageGamer Social Media Links : ► Check me out on Facebook : facebook.com/ModernVintageGamer ► BandCamp : modernvintagegamer.bandcamp.com/ ► The Real MVP Podcast : player.fm/series/the-real-mvp ► Follow me on Twitter : twitter.com/ModernVintageG #SNES #AntiPiracy #DRMWhy it's here
