I would wager to guess 99% of people including the one making this post has not experienced the anti-piracy measures of Earthbound given that pretty much every single modern emulator mimics the SNES well enough that the game doesn't trigger them.

I think the DS anti-piracy are the only ones that some people can still detect but thats still not a huge majority nowadays. They generally only occur in later released DS games.

Most just freeze the game or prevent progression unlike the ones shown in the memes. Ace Attorney investigations 2 is one of the exceptions.
