Raspberry Pi Cartridges Revive Retro Games

A modern microcontroller can be embedded in a game cartridge to emulate a discontinued console coprocessor, enabling original hardware to run improved versions of legacy games. That trick lets developers reverse-engineer old code paths and ship authenticated cartridges without the original silicon. — This technique reshapes debates about digital preservation, intellectual property, hardware obsolescence, and who gets to commercially reissue cultural works on legacy platforms.
