    It might be possible. You can't say for certain that the mempack in question was not actually written to all those years ago when the Satellaview service was actually in operation.

    This make me fuss about the possibility that someone can do that.
    I suppose we'll know if someone can do that if many more carts of this nature start turning up.

    I don't know if there's a lot of mempacks around
    (in any case is not that diffucult to find em... )
    and ebay is full of BSx carts or satella systems

    But i read on the net that might be possible even without the satella.. just with a flash programmer like the tototek one. (you need to program the things to work with the cart of course)

    I pointed this out as you all said.. collecting satella games is recent phenomenon but nowdays doing repro is not a voodoo stuffs anymore (or a chinese).
    Tomorrow this can be a problem.
    Especially for what said by Kiddo. (preservetion of original contents)

    the discussion splitted in a very interesting way btw.

    The theoretical possibility is there, but, once again, if there was any suspicion that anyone was doing this -currently-, then there'd be an outcry among the people who want to preserve cart contents (Because overwriting Memory Pack data is a damage to this goal, even if the data is locked from memory), and also, the value of a Radical Dreamers 8M Pack would go down drastically due to such a reproduction method being known.

    As for eBay, I tend to check there on a regular basis, but I haven't noticed any case of a knwon "Rare Satellaview game" being put up for sale there in the past year.
