Copy protection like this was common on most forms of removable magnetic media. They would either use a physical or optical switch to detect whether or not there was a hole or recess in the disc or cassette.

@ginger_raider 2 года назад

Well done, and yes the Tab to write protection was really popular in that era, even cassette tapes and VHS had a tab too

So basically it bahaves like 5.25" floppy diskettes in the sense that you can also write protect these by punching a hole in a very specific spot on both sides. Interesting to know indeed, I only heard many people in Japan have actually overwritten the original games all along with others as Nintendo had kiosks for copying new files to blank diskettes (and cartridges) in their country 👀

@CptJistuce 2 года назад

5.25“ disks were write-protected by putting a sticker over the notch, not by cutting one. Cutting a second notch was only for making "flippies", so you could use both sides of a double-sided disk in a single-sided drive.

@@CptJistuce huh... Guess I mixed up things then. Thanks for clearing things up!

@CptJistuce 2 года назад

@@MegaManNeo No problem. It is a common mistake, since it is the opposite of 3.5" disks. (And I have no idea what the write-protect rule is for 8" disks)

@featherpony 2 года назад

All computer disks have this. Also, audio cassettes and VCR tapes have breakable write protect tabs.

@thepuzzlemaster64 2 года назад

If I recall correctly all floppy disks have a form of write protection. For the older floppies (the ones that were actually floppy) you needed to punch a hole on the bottom left or right to write protect the disk, and for newer floppies they have this plastic switch on the top right corner to initiate it.

@CptJistuce 2 года назад

On the 5.25" disks, the notch was cut from the factory. You had to cover the notch with a sticker to write-protect the disk.

@iwantthemoonback4198 2 года назад

This makes me feel very old-as others have said this was common on floppy disks, cassettes, VHS etc.

@DankRedditMemes 2 года назад

the write protect tabs probably work the exact same way as it does for regular floppy disks, given its the exact same process, down to using tape to un-protect the diskette.

Many have mentioned it but I also remember many media formats similar to this had write protection like this. Old computer hard discs had the same thing.

@camilowish 2 года назад

Floppys use this method, 3 1/2 diskettes even used a tab that you could move to cover or uncover the hole, so, no breaking necessary. Also, cassette tapes, Betamax tapes or VHS tapes used breakable tabs to protect the information stored in them. A very common and mostly efficient way to write protect your mediums back in the day.

Strange because to save the players game progression if it is write protected is game over.

Not only does someone have to translate all the ingame text and punctuation but also code it back in whatever language is being translated, besides grammatical checks
