Hullo:

Can someone tell me how can I determinate if a Nintendo cartridge is
pirate or really original?

Thanks

I remember how Tengen(Atari?) didn't on their games.

As far as I know, cartridges are NOT pirated. Why would somebody go
through all that trouble to pirate a cartridge only to put it on
another cartridge?

Yes...

Its external cartridge is exactly equal Nintendo's, but it's probably they
were pirate games...

Only in a sense they were pirate. Tengen reverse engineered the NES and
figured out a way to bypass the lock. The games that Tengen released were
programmed by Tengen, and not ripped off some other developer. Technically
Tengen games are unlicensed, but not pirates.

I assume you've never seen the 52 in 1 or 4 in 1 carts? Or the legendary
790,000,000,000 in 1 cart.

If cartridges can't do that, then PSX is pirating Micro$oft.
