What is different in a ROM file?it doesn't play without exploits.So I assume that the dump of a game isn't the perfect copy of a cartridge's file,right?Why doesn't a ROM play without exploits/mods?

Basically, the cartridge is a physical thing which contains data, the rom is just the data itself.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with the way the gateway card works. I'm sure there's nothing stopping anyone from creating a 1:1 cartridge clone, but it'd be kinda pointless unless you wanted to hook it up to your computer to swap out roms because there'd be no chance of multi-rom, and no chance for homebrew either.
The signature is still intact, or early Gateway versions wouldn't run them as the signature checks were still in place. But cartridge communication is encrypted along with other things that make it hard to create a flashcart that works exactly like a real cartridge.so,why can't we just load a 3ds file from the 3ds's SD,without any mod?i thouught dumping broke the signature (psp games have a signature,if it is wrong they won't run)
The topic is the difference between a rom and the game data inside a cartridge. If it is not copied 1 to 1 from a cartridge does that mean the game on rom is not the same game as on a cartridge ?
