Like for example, how would a gameboy cartridge save game data? What is the internal process that saves the game?
In: Technology
This was before cheap flash storage, so the cartridge has a little bit of RAM and a small battery to power it. The first cartridge game to do this was Zelda for the NES.
Since this increased the cost of the cartridge, cheaper games used password systems.
Also the battery on those games has begun to die out, so I’ve got bad news for any Pokemon you may have.
