Why is a Japanese game using an NES cartridge?
Former came first and the mould was repurposed for the latter.
Fascinating.
preserving a game isn't just about dumping the rom
Roms can be disassembled, which is the closest you're getting to the source code.
roms can be disassembled because the community has collected documents and ressources among the years so smart people can do the job pirates can't.
>Nintendo actually lost the Master Rom of Zelda and ended up having to dump this version and cut the disk writer data
That doesn't make any sense. Why not just dump a cartridge of the original game? Sounds like a lot of assumptions here, for one thing because it's not in the gigaleak doesn't mean they don't have it.
The original Zelda is a Famicom Disk System game. A big selling point of the platform was rewritable media, allowing players to save data to floppy disk, thus altering the game image. Disk Writer unit is guaranteed to have a "clean" image of the game without user modifications or magnetic data corruptions.
Enthusiast social media accounts like Forest of Illusion are always run by hyper-autists who make up their own head-canon about shit to sound like an "authority" on the subject (in this case Nintendo) that they're hyper fixated on. They're the type of accounts that will state opinions, have someone reply with a disagreement, and then argue as though what they said is historical fact.
Adulthood and gaming was a mistake.
It's like nerds can't help but ruin things they like through needless exposition. Trying to learn everything about a literal corporation is completely moronic
It's the way they go about it with the worst methodology possible, which accumulates in softbodies like Did You Know Gaming.

You just described /vr/ dude.
why do you believe everything you're told?
Nintendo is the last company you should be saying that about. What little we got from the leaks show that they preserve literally everything.
Yeah, but then most of their tapes fail.
Yeah. the only reason Mana Collection is a switch exzclusive is because Square-Enix lost the source code to those three games.
tendies seething ITT
I prefer them crispy over seethy with BBQ, maybe honey mustard, but NEVER ranch.
how well does Sony preserve stuff
