A ROM cartridge and a disk drive are detachably attached to slots and of an information processing unit . A magnetic disk is detachably attached to a slot of the disk drive . A semiconductor storage device storing a game program and data is provided inside of the ROM cartridge . The information processing unit detects whether the ROM cartridge is attached to the slot and whether the disk drive is attached to the slot . Then the information processing unit performs predetermined information processing on a basis of program data stored in the ROM cartridge or the disk drive when detecting that the ROM cartridge or the disk drive is attached to the slot or , and starts information processing on the basis of the program data stored in the ROM cartridge when detecting that both of the ROM cartridge and the disk drive are attached to the slots and

Information processing system and true/false determining method used therefor

A ROM cartridge,and a disk drive,are detachably attached to slots,and,of an information processing unit,A magnetic disk,is detachably attached to a slot,of the disk drive,A semiconductor storage device storing a game program and data is provided inside of the ROM cartridge,The information processing unit,detects whether the ROM cartridge,is attached to the slot,and whether the disk drive,is attached to the slot,Then the information processing unit,performs predetermined information processing on a basis of program data stored in the ROM cartridge,or the disk drive,when detecting that the ROM cartridge,or the disk drive,is attached to the slot,or,and starts information processing on the basis of the program data stored in the ROM cartridge,when detecting that both of the ROM cartridge,and the disk drive,are attached to the slots,and

A ROM cartridge 20 and a disk drive 30 are detachably attached to slots 103 and 104 of an information processing unit 10. A magnetic disk 40 is detachably attached to a slot 302 of the disk drive 30. A semiconductor storage device storing a game program and data is provided inside of the ROM cartridge 20. The information processing unit 10 detects whether the ROM cartridge 20 is attached to the slot 103 and whether the disk drive 30 is attached to the slot 104. Then the information processing unit 10 performs predetermined information processing on a basis of program data stored in the ROM cartridge 20 or the disk drive 30 when detecting that the ROM cartridge 20 or the disk drive 30 is attached to the slot 103 or 104, and starts information processing on the basis of the program data stored in the ROM cartridge 20 when detecting that both of the ROM cartridge 20 and the disk drive 30 are attached to the slots 103 and 104.
