Image?

Can anybody find a (free or fair use) image of the Nintendo Power peripheral? Jeff Silvers 02:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(Not?) solving the piracy issue

From the article 'The NP cartridges solve the piracy issue by the fact that they are solid-state, as opposed to being a rewritable medium like the FDS, making their use in duplication limited.' How is that gonna work? Just because it is solid-state as opposed to a rotating magnetic medium does in no way automatically mean it is more difficult to duplicate. Does it have some kind of built-in copy-protection? Reading the FDS article, I'd assume that what this really means is that the FDS disks were easier to copy, because compatible drives were also used in other products, which may make disk duplication simple. On the other hand these cartridges must be pretty Nintendo-specific, so you'd have to have good knowledge about electronics to copy it. 217.189.227.95 (talk) 19:49, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
