Simpler yet, just make up your own bank switching, and implement it in a
programmable logic device.  This way anyone who takes the cart apart
cannot figure out what logic is implemented.  A potential dumper would
have to download the direct 4k, then dissasemble to figure out.  I am
skeptical that anyone would go to this much work, especially as it would
be a heck of a lot of work to re-write to use a different bankswitch
method to be able to run on an emulator anyway.


I guess I missed it, but why are we on this thread anyway?  I have never
found the binaries of a home-brew game anyway.(games that were only
released in cart form).  For instance merlins walls.  I think everyone who
purchases a home brew respects the author enought not to download and
distribute.
