    Star Fox cart front and center as it should be. Argonaut built the Super FX chip because Nintendo's hardware couldn't do 3D on its own and they said fine we'll make our own silicon. That cart has a coprocessor soldered inside it. Weekly retro recap and the archives are already cross-referencing every entry.

      Cracked the cart open to verify. There it is. The GSU-1 sitting right on the PCB. Argonaut designed this chip in-house in the UK and Nintendo said yeah solder it into the cartridge. Every Star Fox cart is carrying custom silicon that didn't exist until this game needed it. The archives document the hardware too.
