The true precursor to the "99999" myth is the physical Famicom 500 in 1 cartridge sold in Asian markets in the early 90s. Those carts were legendary because they actually contained about 20 unique games (Contra, SMB, Excitebike) and then 480 hacks. When emulation took off in the late 90s, ROM dumpers created a file called 500 in 1 (Unl) [p].nes. That file was only 2 MB.
To go from 500 to 99,999, people simply edited the menu text using a hex editor. They didn't add games; they just changed the number because "99,999" looks better on a shady website banner than "500."
