SD2SNES where to buy one?

just ordered the super ufo pro 8 .... im excited

 

They mean it'll work if you plug the actual cart into the top and play it. It doesn't mean you can play roms of games that use Super FX, Cx4, etc.

 

you sure about that? it seemed to me like they were implying the sd rom could use the cart chip if inserted

 

Man, could they have at least given the product a more unique name? I'm sure I'm not the only person here who thought this was in regards to the SNES copier.

EDIT: Apparently Success doesn't directly make these. It's listed as a 3rd-party manufacture. But they seem to be using a modified/updated Super UFO bios as their firmware.

 

It is related to the Super UFO cause apparently it's a clone using a modified BIOS for new features.

derekb, I'm absolutely 100% without a doubt sure that it cannot play Cx4 or SuperFX ROMs from SD card just because you have a real cartridge on top. This all stems from the fact that the DSP series of chips is unlikely all other additional cartridge hardware in that it lives on the cartridge bus along with the ROM and any cartridge RAM. So it was discovered and many copiers implement allowing passing through certain cartridge access to use the DSP chip in an inserted cartridge.

The problem is Cx4, Super FX, and all other cartridge coprocessors work entirely different. They do not live on the bus. Super FX connects directly to the ROM memory. You physically cannot connect the DRAM in a Copier to the "end" of the Super FX it would need to go on to play Super FX Roms. This goes for everything but DSP1. DSP as I said lives on the bus. DSP2, 3, and 4 I think all do too but they also are only in 1 game each so there would be little point in playing the ROM of those if you must use the original cart to run it. Though it would be handy if DSP3's SD Gundam GX had an english translation.

SD2SNES and I think a russian flash cart are the only ones to support anything other than DSP for extra cartridge hardware. That's it. SD2SNES supports Cx4, the whole DSP series, and might support Super FX in the future. Maybe SDD-1 will happen too. SA-1 I wouldn't hold my breath but maybe it could happen.

 

I think the Super FX chip support is a translation error from Chinese to English. In-line with regular UFO copiers, if you plug in a Super FX Chip game into the reader port, it will run just fine. I assume on some copiers it doesn't work correctly.

 

Correct, some Copiers for various reasons don't run non-standard carts through their cart ports very well. Either signals required aren't passed through properly or at all, or they otherwise have signal problems.
