GX4000 cartridge

/* Protection */
The EPROMs aren't encrypted, making it very easy to dump their content, or to replace them by other EPROMs. However, all cartridges must contain an '''ACID''' chip, otherwise the CPC+/GX4000 refuses to work.
* For details, on the chip , see [[ACID]]. All game cartridges (and the system cartridge shipped with the 464+/6128+) include an ACID chip, so, even with limited soldering skills, it's extremely easy to reuse that chip with other EPROMs. Which is meaning that the protection doesn't prevent piracy or homebrew programming. It's only preventing commercially produced unlicensed games (which are more than unlikely to be sold with instructions saying to "de-solder your ACID chip before using this game").
