Piracy Issues With The ATBW C4

The ATBW C4 (1999 - 2020) had numerous issues with pirated games throughout its lifespan due to its minidisc format and numerous parts sourced from the Redbook series of laptops, as well parts from the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Amiga computers, both of which share the Motorola 68000 processor, which is one of the two processors the system has, along with the Langile A6501 processor from all of the company's previous consoles. The console also shares the YM2608 and YM2612 soundchips from the Mega Drive and PC-98 Touhou respectively, and the console was originally intended to have Amiga, MS-DOS, Mega Drive, and PC-98 Touhou games even though the latter of which was never sold in western markets. However, various SNES games were also ported onto the C4, though they were converted due to hardware differences. A few PS1 and GBA games also saw ports on the system.
