KRIKzz has opened pre-orders for his production of sd2snes!
Pre-orders can be placed now at retrogate.com.
This also means they will appear at Stone Age Gamer shortly.

Hello
how’s it going with the second batch of the sd2snes?
hope not to much work. 😉

I’m kind of new/oblivious to this whole thing, but I was wondering if someone could perhaps, in the simplest terms, tell me what this cart will do that other carts won’t. Game examples, performance comparisons, whatever.

@Tyler The sd2snes uses RAM instead of FlashROM for faster loading times (barely noticeable at all) and no lifetime limit, has support for some of the special chips by faithfully emulating those chips (DSPs, SETA chips, CX4), more are technically possible by updating the FPGA firmware.
