SNES Flash Cart....
Moderator:Moderators
Does anyone know where to find a SNES flash cart. I own a TON of SNES games and I am in the Army. I want to build a SNESp, but bringing all those carts with me on deployments would be a HUGE pain. I would love to dump all of thier roms onto one flash cart and only bring that. I have seen gameboy flash carts that use SD cards. Does anyone think this is possible to make a handheld SNES that can load roms off of an SD card?
I saw that there is a gameboy SNES emulator, but comptability is minimal. I would love to be able to use acctual SNES hardware. Thanks for you help in advance..

Ive got the tototek flash cart. Works awesome, and the price is excellent. Remember that you either have to purchase a region chip with it, or desolder one of a random snes cart you have laying around.
Another thing to note, the flash cart draws more power than a standard SNES game. I never measured it, but it does decrese battery life on a portable.

I think that the Gp2x is his best bet,
He wants a flash cart...well those range to about $75 for the caart and the programmer
I think a $150 for a SD interface emulator that runs at avery hefty speeds souds like what he wants
Now here are the only things he needs to learn
1) Linux
2) how to use the Gp2x's controller interface
These are not very hard and all our military man will have on his person is a unit and a SD card, Both of which are smaller than a SNESp (no matter how much you shrink it) a few select cars incompatible with the Tototek variety, and the tototek cart (this also gets expensive)
Now I honestly admire him for the original hardware business, this is why I haven't bought a Gp2x myself...Prolly should have by now...anyway I think that the original hardware is something for hobbyist like most f the members of the forums, however, emu on a gp2x is what I HIGHLY recommend for our military man since he will need extra room for clean underware and fruit-salad hordes

I have used the PSP with the hack before...I just wanted something..unique. I was also wanting to use orifginal hardware so that I was sure that there would be no emulation problems.
As far as the GP2X I have heard that there are lots of games that just wont work right on it. emulation is %80 at best.
I guess my only real question is, Can you build your own flash cart. I am very handy with a suatering Iron but I would not know how to go about this. I know in Korea they have multi cart games....how do they do it? If I could do that then I would be able to figure this out.

I have a GP2x, and it really is a fun little machine. It cant replace the feel of real hardware though. The SNES emu is great, but its not finished yet.
I mostly use my gp2x to play MAME, the new CPS2 emu, Beats of Rage, homebrew, and other stuff thats not really playable portable otherwise.
I DO play SNES, Genesis and PC Engine games on it, since its great being able to have just one little device to carry with you. But if possible, i'd rather play on the real thing.

I was also wondering about that. I have an ENORMOUS collection of roms on my PC, but I would prefer to play them on original hardware, or even better a snesp (hehe, thats fun to say). The tototek seems like a good option, but it would be awesome to work out something with larger capacity and smaller size, or at least one of the two. There are 8GB flash drives now with more USB connector than circuitry, there must be some way...

Also, can anyone explain to me the function of the "T connector"? Just looking at the pictures, it seems to me like it is used to access the region chip from a second cartridge, and isnt needed if you put a CIC-161 on it, but I'm not positive on that.
