I guess their policy is not to care about non-licensed carts as long as they are not in mass production. Since their model is still extremely successful, I understand why they have no motivation to change it. There is no space for niche products like Nanoloop in the Nintendo business model. OW – I once wrote an email to Nintendo of America but got no reply. LB – Do you have any idea if Nintendo have heard of Nanoloop? If so, what did they say? This is somewhat more expensive but not having to deal with Chinese game piracy companies anymore and having a constant supply of hardware saves me a lot of stress. At some point it got all too annoying and I decided to design a custom PCB optimized for the needs of Nanoloop. Later I had to change suppliers a couple of times because the companies often suddenly disappeared, behaved strangely or just stopped communicating. From version 1.0 to 1.2, Nanoloop came on custom ROM carts, initially produced by the same Hong Kong based supplier as the flash carts.
OW – First I simply bought flash carts and put Nanoloop on them but that was of course rather expensive. LB – You started selling the cartridge in 1999, how did you go about producing the hardware? We posted the first part earlier this week, you can find it here. This is the second part of our interview with Nanoloop creator Oliver Wittchow.
