      For some reason, when a GBA game crashes, the GBA will output the content of the game cartridge as audio over the headphone jack. This person noticed it and created a script that can re-create the ROM file (content of the cartridge) from the audio that the GBA outputs.

      I assume the game was playing an audio sample while it crashed, and the hardware never stopped playing, meaning it just kept playing through the entire address space.
