     @coolboymew @shpuld fun fact: the way these built-in games were handled in Master Systems was by basically jacking up a mask ROM chip to high priority enable line which would force the code to boot first – then it'd check for presence of any proper media, do header checks and possibly boot built-in games. It's a late addition almost completely unnecessary to normal operation too (in fact, bypassing it will let you play some older Japanese titles that would normally be rejected by an export unit; however some western games will likewise fail if it's not present).

     @coolboymew @shpuld without priority boot line being connected, it just boots from cartridge, yeah.
