Reproductions vs PowerPak SNES
zygmuray:
Hey,
Im not sure if this is an allowed topic but Im just looking for some info and advice on what to go for, I am not asking where to buy anything.
I guess im looking for the common ones, Secret of Mana 2, Terranigma, Zelda Parallel, Bahamuts Lagoon.
For now at least, those are the only ones that come to mind. So at like $50 a pop usually it gets up there in price.
So looking for a cheaper alternative, I came across the PowerPak for the SNES, which seems cheaper than buying all the repos I want. Plus I would have the ability to add games later. It doesnt support every game, but looking through the list I dont see many I would want to play that I cant get an original cart for.
I am a reproduction noob if you cant tell, so I guess my questions are : would there be a difference really between a reproduction cart and this PowerPak? Has anyone here ever used it and is it pretty reliable? and finally is there a game in that not compatible list that would be a deal breaker for all you?
Any advice would be great.
scarmullet:
The question is, do you want something you can display and play like a regular game, or would you rather have a cashe of games you can just leave in your system all the time, never having to take it out.
Arseen:
Asking OK.
Answering OK too so:
I don't have this, but few around here have.
They seem to love it.
I personally like to have actual carts or just play the roms on PC with real pad, and think Power Pak is pointless inbetween compromise.
On other hand I wouldn't mind owning one to see if game would run on actual SNES so I could then have it put to cart, and will probably get one eventually.
Main problem is the lack of support for FX and FX2 chips.
I know two great hacks of Yoshi's Island that I would like to play on real SNES.
There is also everdrive that does the same (better?)
There is one even better one that is harder to get, just can't remember the name, and if I understand they are trying to get FX chip combatibility too.
