While I didn't realise this device was still supported, my comments were a generalisation. Lots of devices will die with no replacement parts available.
Also, if the Chinese thought there was any money in it, it would still be cloned.
There are devices to create logical equals to pal/gals. You can also get chips decapped and read under an electron microscope for $300 per chip.
It's only not been bothered with as it's too niche and soon as the code is read, prices will race to the bottom as they out compete each other... It happens time and time again.
I will post some links to the devices I was talking about and decapping services when I'm back at a pc.
