On this episode we look at early lockout technology that Nintendo developed to combat unlicensed games and win back retailer confidence and why it took 20 years for the chip to be reverse engineered.
To combat unlicensed games and win back confidence of retailers in North America and Europe, the NES and all licensed games came with a lockout chip known as the 10NES or CIC. In this episode we take a look at this chip , the clone chip that was developed by Atari and how it took 20 years for the homebrew community to reserve engineer the chip and the challenges they faced. ► Consider supporting me - https://www.patreon.com/ModernVintageGamer Links and Credits: ► Tengen Rabbit Chip Pic - Gaming Historian - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLA_d9q6ySs ► Ninja Gaiden Gameplay - xRavenXP - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUNTSP9PBuA ► Reverse Engineering the CIC - http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?t=1219 ► 10NES Original Patent - https://patents.google.com/patent/US4799635A/en ► What happened with SNES CIC reverse engineering? - http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5676&sid=f41f9d0da98e170810e9e75b737a9ac2 ► The weird and wonderful CIC - https://hackmii.com/2010/01/the-weird-and-wonderful-cic/ Social Media Links : ► Check me out on Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/ModernVintageGamer ► BandCamp : https://modernvintagegamer.bandcamp.com/ ► The Real MVP Podcast : https://player.fm/series/the-real-mvp ► Follow me on Twitter : https://twitter.com/ModernVintageG #Nintendo #10NES #AntiPiracy
