I'm working on a research project about pirated games particularly those for the NES/SNES/Gameboy. I'm particularly interested in how those companies produced these "bootleg" quality games. These companies required people with at least some programming familiarity. How were they able to hire people at that paygrade to produce such low quality content? What is it about modern consoles that makes them less prone to having "bootleg" or pirate games on them?
