Actually, I think the NES has the largest prevalence of unlawful, bootleg, or unsanctioned cartridge games to date. It certainly was known for being a favorite for pirates and offbrands at the time. Do you suppose this means it might not have had a protection chip? Or just really easy ones to get around?

Hmmm Ok.. might work then, ROM-U-LATORs are available at HAM fests all over however http://www.tech-tools.com/er3.htm.  Yes they are expensive I agree :)

tech tools I use a lot, they have good support and there stuff works well.

Probably didn't have any...  I mean...  As far as computer emulators were concerned, they were pretty much non-existent, and likely wouldn't have been able to push those cutting edge games :wink:  And they probably figured the average person didn't have the necessary facilities to make cartridges in their homes.
 
Yeah... Between the plastic casing and the board architecture, it sounds like still the most practical means is to cannibalize less important games and remove their EPROM's.
