The courts made a ruling on liability in the Tengen case, they did not however make a ruling nor full and accurate report on what actually happened (nor did anybody involve seek for them to do so). Engineers working for Tengen successfully reverse-engineered the 10NES and got their rabbit chip running 100% perfectly but at the wrong speed. So someone outside the team (apparently) lied to get the patent info and handed the information to someone else in the company to do some testing. Before ''they'' could spread the word that thee rabbit was running fine but at the wrong speed, the original engineers had already solved their problem. Later the engineers found out what other people in the company had done and '''were pissed'''. All their hard work was rendered meaningless. They would have to live with labels of incompetence and trademark violators for the rest of their carriers despite being completely successful and innocent in doing their jobs.

Camerica
"Camerica succcessfully reverse engineereed the code to produce unlicensed games."
Really? I thought Camerica (which published Codemasters games in the US) used the same Macronix -5 volt spike method that Color Dreams games used. --Damian Yerrick 05:18, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC) k

Reverse engineering
Lots of info about the CIC chip, Tengen's Rabbit clone, and reverse engineering them both here: [1] 67.64.66.99 03:48, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
...and lots of microscope pictures here... [2] 67.64.66.99 03:49, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Citation Needed
Nearly all instances of the Citation Needed tag are for information mentionned in the references at the end of the article. Should they be removed, or should the references be turned into footnotes? --Dandin1 (talk) 13:54, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Voltage Spike
So, how would this actually work, with respect to the CIC chip? By the sounds of the article, it sounds like it would damage the NES. Any games that are known to do this? Would anybody more in the know like to add some info about that? 81.225.91.19 (talk) 09:30, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Rabbit Chip
The courts made a ruling on liability in the Tengen case, they did not however make a ruling nor full and accurate report on what actually happened (nor did anybody involve seek for them to do so). Engineers working for Tengen successfully reverse-engineered the 10NES and got their rabbit chip running 100% perfectly but at the wrong speed. So someone outside the team (apparently) lied to get the patent info and handed the information to someone else in the company to do some testing. Before they could spread the word that thee rabbit was running fine but at the wrong speed, the original engineers had already solved their problem. Later the engineers found out what other people in the company had done and were pissed. All their hard work was rendered meaningless. They would have to live with labels of incompetence and trademark violators for the rest of their carriers despite being completely successful and innocent in doing their jobs. Nintendo would not have wanted these facts known anyhow. Their statements in court all but said dumb lazy Americans were incapable of reverse engineering what Japanese engineers had created. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.111.33.117 (talk) 00:56, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
