Calling the chip 'DRM' sounds like media sensationalism, it really is just 'dumb memory'. Maybe I think this because I knew exactly how the cartridges worked when I did my initial research on the unit (and knew about the CartridgeGenius as an option before purchase), so I had no surprise when it worked how it did.

Can other manufacturers reasonably create compatible chips? That to me would mark the difference between DRM and mere smarts.
