Hey GBA Temp,
Now I'm not sure of the procedure here but I'll try to explain, a few months ago my brother-in-law purchased a N64, and Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time cartridge from an online seller.
Neither the N64 nor the game was working, I did get the N64 working repairing some water damage. But after examining the LoZ cartridge I discovered its a pirated version that didn't work, no battery backup etc.
Long story short, he admits in an email that he's selling the bootleg cartridges and he's been selling them for $40-$80+ a piece.
So he replaces the LoZ cartridge with another BOOTLEG Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time cartridge.
Now, I'm personally okay with hacked stuff I once jail broke my Wii just to see if I could, but the fact that this guy is doing it to unsuspecting people, like my sister doesn't sit right with me.
After having several strokes and losing all her stuff when a water pipe broke in her house. I dunno it bothers me ya, know?
Would the game even work right? Without the CIC chip she could get through the ENTIRE GAME and then be shafted during the final boss with Ganon.
Having thrown away money to a seller who openly admits he's selling bootlegs.
What are your thoughts on the matter?
