>That is on the same lavel as "It's just a THEORY" when talking about scientific theories.
Umm, no? What kind of insane logic even is that? This isn't a "theory", this is literally how this shit works.

>It makes no difference if the chip could be reset by shining UV-light onto it or apply a specific high voltage to erase the data (which outside of the initial manufacturing and flashing should NEVER be accessible)
I literally just told you that there were games that had EEPROM chips that were used to hold your save data you moron

>If you have a game enhancer that actually erases and overwrites the ROM, we are not talking about normal hardware anymore
I never said it erases the Mask ROM, I said it intercepts it. Erasing or changing a Mask ROM would be impossible. You tried to argue that it modifies RAM because you think Read-Only means it can in no way even be intercepted. That is not how the devices work.

>All manipulations can just happen in RAM
Again, they do not, you are spreading misinformation when you claim this. The Game Genie modifies the data being sent by the ROM, not the data in the RAM. You could easily Google this, but you instead choose to make yourself look like an idiot by refusing to admit you was wrong about something.

>You can't modify rom on a cartridge. The game genie acted like an interceptor
... that's exactly what I said. I didn't mean it's physically modifying the Mask ROM on the cart itself, but the data it's sending to the system. I assumed people here would be smart enough to know that it's obviously not physically modifying an unmodifiable Mask ROM on the cart itself, but I guess we have idiots like >>11861726 who think "Read Only" means utterly immutable to even being intercepted and when presented with EEPROM thinks those are "just a theory" and even when told some games that used them to save your progress assumed they could ONLY be erased by UV light or high-voltage spikes that only special equipment can do.
