SNES Piracy in the 90s - Disc Copiers
🕑 Added 2024-03-25 11:46:01 +0000 UTCBack in the 90's if you wanted to make backups of your Super Nintendo cartridges, you'd need a game backup device, also known as a SNES disc copier. These devices would allow you to dump almost every SNES cartridge to one or more floppy discs, but they were also a tool for pirates to copy discs completely removing the need for an original cartridge. In today's episode we take a closer look at one such SNES back up device known as the Pro Fighter X Turbo.

I love deep dives into past tech like this. I had no knowledge that dedicated hardware like this existed so far back, I just thought some highly skilled users were creating their own ways to interface with cartridges. If you have more early hacking/ripping topics to make videos on I would love to see them.
