This really bad multicart named "1000000-in-1" fascinates me.
For having such an abundance of quality games, its strange how the rom file size is just 1Mbyte..
32x16k prg and 64x8k chr to fit
one millon games. Truly amazing.
What's not mentioned on the box (if there ever was one) are the chunks of scattered source code for some multi cart system. Actually, there are several "xx-in-1" references in there.
To be honest, it is quite the entrepreneurship to make a multicart engine like this.
1) Fetch a word from table 1 (SUPER, FANCY, CRAZY, etc)
2) Fetch a word from table 2 (MARIO, TANK, TETRIS, etc)
3) Fetch a number or a letter and put onto screen
(4) Hack the original game just a little so it counts as a new one)
Now, lets play Crazy Kong Fu 3
