    I think at some point it must have, because I remember at some point reading something like that on pocketheaven. Oh well :p

    Does anyone know if the pins used by the adapter are used for something on the snes? A quick rewiring from the cart slot could give make any snes compatible with this.

    I am working on this very thing at the moment. Its apparently slightly more complicated than simple rewiring though. The information is all in this thread:

    Hey i just got one of those Fire Linker 128m cheap GBA flash cart.
    It seem to work great with this adapter. I burned Metroid Fusion to it and played a while on my TV with the SNES adapter. Works great and saves game as usual.

    Does the Fire Linker support GB/GBC emulation, if so this could be a good substitute for the lack of GB/GBC compatibility on the Retro Advance.

    IIRC I got it from DHgate. But I cannot verify and provide link as my internet is having weird issues since yesterday and I cannot access lots of sites. Not sure what's going it, tried resetting router and hubs already. Might be the ISP...

    Yes, the one I got is LPT. Works well enough, if you still have the port...

    Have you heard about the Super Retro Adapter? It's possibly the same thing as the tototek AD adapter, but I'm just wondering, maybe that one will run a supercard sd?

    From the exterior the Super retro adapter looks exactly the same as the AD adapter. Id be curious to see if there are any differences inside though.

    Just wanted to ask, do you know if tototek ships for free? I've seen people saying that they do, but when I go and put the ad adapter in my cart, I get a shipping estimate of ~10$.
