No es extraño encontrar en juegos a la venta niveles inacabados, enemigos desechados o música descartada. Pero encontrar un emulador y varios juegos dentro de un cartucho en el que dicho contenido oculto no tiene sentido ya merece cierta mención. Si además hablamos de GoldenEye para Nintendo 64, un juego que los hackers llevan destripando casi 15 años el hayazgo de 9 juegos de Spectrum en su interior hace unos días es algo que debe conocerse.
Zoinkity (el mismo hacker que permitió que Citadel, el legendario mapa oculto de GoldenEye descubierto por Krijy, fuese jugable en multijugador), es el responsable de todo esto. Los juegos que se pueden jugar son: Sabre Wulf, Atic Atac, Jetpac, Lunar Jetman, Alien 8, Gun Fright, Underwurlde, Knight Lore, Pssst. Para acceder a estos juegos hay que hacer lo siguiente: -Parchear una rom NTSC de GoldenEye con el parche del enlace de la descarga -En la pantalla de selecicón de partida (la de las carpetas), pulsar L+R en el mando 3 y mantenerlos pulsados. (esto activará el 'modo emulador') -Pulsar, además, uno de los siguientes botones para acceder al juego: C izquierda - Sabre Wulf C derecha - Atic Atac C arriba - Jetpac C abajo - Luna Jetman + izquierda - Alien 8 + derecha - Gun Fright + arriba - Underwurlde + abajo - Knight Lore A - Pssst (por defecto) - Cookie
Para acabar la emulación basta con pulsar L en el mando 1.
A continuación los controles detallados de cada uno de los juegos (en inglés):

Inside the rover you are immune to the aliens outside. Press B again to exit. You can move the rover with left and right but can not move over craters in the ground. B also uses the teleporter. You fly by pressing up or automatically if you walk over a crater in the ground. This consumes fuel in the meter at the top of the screen. To refuel, stand in the middle of your rover. Pick up an item by moving over it and pressing A. You drop the item by pressing A again. You can also drop an item on the flat part of your rover to drive it to a location. Teleporting while holding an item also transports the item. You can repair craters. Stand in the middle of the rover and pressing A to pick up a piece of bridging. Drop the bridging while hovering over the crater by pressing A again. There is an infinite supply of bridges. To destroy an alien base carry a bomb and drop it from above onto the main building. Dropping a bomb anywhere else simply leaves a crater. Bombs always appear next to the rover and there is an infinite supply of them. When time is out the aliens fire two missiles, one of which is a dummy. The other will bee-line for the rover and destroy it. If it does the game is over. You can destroy the missile by firing at it or colliding with it. The time bar is at the top of the screen. In the upper left of the screen is an indicator for what direction your rover is in. The upper right indicates what direction the alien base will be. Press start to advance past the title screen.

Este emulador NO fue utilizado en Donkey Kong 64 para cargar Jetpack. Dicho juego fue directamente portado al código de Nintendo 64. La verdad es que resulta muy curioso.

porque si el emulador y los juegos y a están en el cartucho, deberían ser accesibles sin modificaciones, ¿no?
No precisamente. Si bien los roms estan en el cartucho, los programadores se encargaron de "tapar" cualquier forma de acceso a ellos, es por eso que mediante hacking logran crear parches para alterar su funcionamiento.
Hubiera sido un buen detalle, en ese momento no era nada común incluir juegos más antiguos como se hace ahora. Goldeneye sigue sorprendiendo, cuando pienso en el juego no comprendo como pudieron incluir tal cantidad de cosas.
El emulador comenzó siendo un proyecto personal de uno de los empleados de Rare encargados de GoldenEye, Steve Ellis, que quería comprobar si era posible la emulación de Spectrum en Nintendo 64. De modo que esto no era contenido previsto en el juego (puede que incluso se hiciese en secreto). El propio Steve Ellis escribió un correo al hacker que descubrió el emulador explicándole algunos detalles
El parche es necesario para cargar todos los juegos. Hay una explicación aquí pero no termino de entenderla del todo (en inglés, por supuesto). Parece que algunos juegos sí que son accesibles sin el parche, pero no lo tengo nada claro.
