    I've been longing for this day since I first played Road Avenger on Sega Mega CD as a little kid at Toys R Us:

    After 26 years, Road Blaster/Road Avenger has finally arrived on the Super Nintendo.

    Still needs lots of work and fine-tuning, so please understand this as a proof-of-concept rather than a full-fledged final release.
    This game makes use of the MSU-1 hardware extension, which originated with Byuu and his emulator Bsnes.
    The only hardware implementation of the MSU-1 available so far is Ikari_01s sd2snes flashcart.

    And as you can see in the (badly shot) youtube-video:
    Yes, it runs fine on a stock SNES and yes, this is what games may have looked like if the SNES CD would have been released. ;)

    Awesome achievement. I'd love to play this on a real SNES. Wonder when the sd2snes carts will be finalized and available for sale. It looks as if it wouldn't be much longer.

    Awesome work!
    I wonder how you manage to do a port from Sega CD to SNES. I´m really curious about the final release.

    @cez:
    The sd2snes has already been released. Unfortunately it ran out of stock the day it was announced...

    Thanx d4s.
    I tested the game already on my sd2snes. Works great. Much better than the MD CD Version.

    I don't think it has been released yet I looked on Ikari's website and he hasn't made a post on it in a month or so.

    No wonder why I didn't find it, the post was in German.
