very interesting...


just as a slight aside to this - ive been doing a couple of games that use
eeprom for backup memory and they don't work on visoly carts - now, I was
pretty sure that the visoly flash carts were supposed to support all types
of save ram? is this correct? and if so is it just the latest Nintendo
eeprom library that fails to work? im wondering if this is some kind of
Nintendo protection is all... or am I barking up the wrong tree here? :)

cheers
