@purpletoaster0

You have no idea what an EPROM is, do you?

There are quite a few ways to probe this is legit, including the missing video lines (only emulators show those), the different text color and, most of all, this video's description.

@Walkifer I thought it was EEPROM.

EPROMS are UV erasable, EEPROMS are electricably erasable :D

One of these days, I want to see a large team of enthusiasts get together and write a real, new, commercial-level game for an older system. Maybe another Mega Man X for SNES or something. That would warm my heart.

@Xezlec

There are quite a few commercial level games for old systems; check Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril for the NES, for example.

@Walkifer Thank you, I didn't know that =)

[Xezlec]

@Walkifer Oh awesome! Do you know of any for SNES?

[MacintoshX5]

Epic win.
