Very cool. I have the plug-thru version of Micro Machines. You need to plug a standard cart into the back of the connector but it will play whatever game is on the device, not the cart.
I assume this is because they were unofficial unlicensed games and this bypasses the lockout chip?
I believe it's similar to the piggyback dongle on some HES games. Uses a licensed cart's 10NES chip to convince the console's chip that it's a licensed game, but the unlicensed ROM loads instead.
