#konami Bubble Memory #arcade
systems are interesting.

Bootup has two steps - first is warming up the bubble memory chip on the cartridge, then there’s a song and countdown as the entire program is copied from the bubble memory card to system RAM.

Gotta ask people here if they’ve ever seen or used bubble memory in other applications. It was a short lived media that was replaced by “typical” ROM chips.
