No more cheat cartridges
Cheat cartridges are unfortunately a thing of the past. All consoles and portables starting with the Microsoft Xbox use unbreakable digital signatures to ensure that unauthorized software never runs on the system, at least without hardware modification or a software bug. Unless RSA gets broken sometime soon, that is. -- Myria 23:09, 10 September 2005 (UTC),
 * True, but software bugs are available in plenty, so I don't think it's time to pronounce them dead, yet! &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 20:55, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The Xbox has remained secure in this manner despite the large amount of time spent reverse engineering the system. Not a single hack has been made that would allow direct booting of custom software.  Only things that use a back door in a specific game disk have been used.  Such bugs aren't enough to make a commercial cheat product. -- Myria 23:20, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I would say that although not a Cartridge, ocarina (gecko os) for the wii plays the game in the disc slot through ocarina and edits memory addresses, therefor having the same purpose. 82.25.130.155 (talk) 18:23, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Caetla
There is a section on "game enhancers" for PSX but there is no mention of "caetla". A group of hobbyist programmers in Japan created a replacement ROM for the GameShark called "caetla" (pronounced as ça et la (saw eh la, サエラ)). This ROM was designed to allow remote debugging of hobby programs for the PSX. An accidental side effect of this ROM was that it allowed the swap trick to be used to play copies. Once pirate companies found out about this, they cloned the hardware and this ROM, and changed its name. -- Myria 04:17, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Ocarina?

Technology
Can someone say something about the technology used in cheat cartridges? --Abdull (talk) 23:35, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Publisher Reaction
Under the Publisher Reaction heading, the article states that Sega embraced the development of cheat carts and how Nintendo and other MFG's attempted to thwart such devices but states no references for this at all. Leeor net (talk) 14:41, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
