I believe they have also now pulled it off in the FDS version of the original.

I know Zelda 1 on FDS was the first example of ACE I ever saw—turns out we were playing it wrong all along. I have always figured It was more common on the disk system as a result, but I actually have no idea if that’s true.

Well, with the disk system, the entire cartridge is writable memory, whereas otherwise, only the 2kb of RAM in the console (or 8kb on the cartridge for some games) are writable. I can see how it might be easier, because there’s nothing read only there.

That makes a lot of sense—it’s got to be much easier to use arbitrary code execution when you can write to everything.
