@Porco you're not adding anything with that last reply, either. US gov doesn't own any game developer, Saudi does. It's a distinction with a difference.
It's a totally legit way of doing this. Commenters here calling it a "Raspberry Pi".. lol. You're thinking of those SBC boards with gigabytes of RAM. Meanwhile, the MCU used here has several 16kB blocks of RAM. The SNES here is very much "running Doom".
@avcrypt 5V EPROMs may be out of production, but they're superseded by 5V NOR Flash which is in production. SST39SF040 is a popular one. It's a great improvement, as the game itself can write to this memory.
I've been supplying an assembled NES cart board (GTROM) for the last 10 years, and it's was around $1.10 for that 512kB flash during most of that time. Probably costs a little more by now, but availability hasn't been a problem.
