A mask ROM is a kind of read-only memory where the desired data is directly etched into a semiconductor during the same photolithographic process that actually makes a circuit out of a planar sheet of silicon. It’s pretty much hard-wired data storage, with an indefinite lifespan.
Hopefully we’ll get dumps going one way or another. Last I looked there was some headway made into poking the console on release day but I’m not keeping up with it regular.
As far as I remember, Game Cards are not mask ROM. In other words, they’ll eventually lose their data and become e-waste anyhow.
This applies to both “real” Game Cards, and Game Key Cards. It’s already been a problem with the OG Switch.
What does mask ROM mean? Don’t wanna look up the wrong term ;)

Ah. I remember this technology. Wasnt aware they are called mask ROM. Good to know!
Even more wonderful then hahaha.
