You are obviously ignorant on this subject. You mean to tell me that you 
NEVER heard of special chips being put inside of carts that in some way 
assist the hardware? Remember the SNES? The Super FX chip which was inside 
certain games such as Star Fox is one of the kinds of chips I'm talking 
about. I'd like to make a few suggestions about your replies:
     1. Read the message first.
     2. Know what you are talking about.
     3. You don't know everything, so don't act like you do.
Later
