cartridge era get pirated too -.-
but you need an attachment machine for it, it cost like $200-400 dollars back in the SNES and Genesis days. That thing rip out rom image from the cartridge and save it on a floppy disk.
my two cents: No machine is hacker proof, its a matter of incentives to hack a certain machine. at this point prices is the main concern that keeping chip makers to make a mod chip for the ps3, as others had posted the price of burner and blank disc is still out of reach to these chip buyer.
