That RAM cartridge slot was never meant to have any game cartridges. Thanks a lot. So that means they knew they'd use that slot for RAM since the very beginning? Could that slot technically be used for game carts? Yes, it was intended for extra RAM since day one, it was a nice way to keep the console price down to have extra RAM as an addon. Cheating devices like Gameshark and Pro Action Replay used the slot so technically it should work. You might be forced to start the console with a disc in order to make it start, and then have the cartridge highjack the data and load itself into the RAM instead.
