Note written on 12.6.2025 during live transmission on YT https://www.youtube.com/live/YkHE-ax0zyM?t=1093
=============
Cart cracked on 11.5.2023
Dumped from original, without cartridge disassembly.
What was meant as limited run of exclusive 20 physical
cartridges is now available for everyone - SHARING IS CARING.

JUST TO CLARIFY WHAT HAPPENED:
In 2023 I wrote tools that allow dumping magic desk cartridge without disassembling them, just using cartridge expander with switches.
12.6.25 5PM CET I've been running live transmission with RENTON, main organizer of RETRONIZACJA - combined retrocomputing/demoscene event. Meantime during that transmission, when Rime/Fancy Rats saw YT live that I'm about to upload my dump of his cartridge he created entry on CSDb and suddenly released his cartridge himself
and because I was a bit busy running that live I've postponed uploading (#253816 - so he actually did that "one entry" before me xD) so here is why you see the same entry twice, he even stripped visible cart number from his image (every real cart had unique number in ROM, visible on info screen of that cartridge, I dumped #4/20) like I did in my crack after debugging in VICE.
My dump differs however a bit from what Rime released starting from offset 5E to 1F98 (packed data)
Cheers.
