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.

Yep that was the one, thanx.
What's the latest on that?

Its nearly impossible to get one, as its on back order big time.
wiggy:
I've been hunting for one of those for months now with no luck :(

I hope they do actually make more. Something tells me that it's gone at this point.
zygmuray:
So if I was gonna go for one you guys would say the SD2SNES is the better of the two? and IF i managed to find one I wouldnt need to worry about compatibility issues? like the FX chip?


I dont really mind having games that didnt come over to North America on one cart. I think it would even be nice to throw games that did come over on it before I buy them and find out I dislike them, especially if its a costly game. 
JDavis:
I don't have a PowerPak (or similar item for any home console), and I don't much see much point in getting one.

I have mixed opinions of emulation as well, since I used it and abused it back in the early to mid 00's.

On the one hand, it can be a great tool to discover and try games you might otherwise never know about, especially ones that weren't released in your region. Double especially if it needed a fan translation to be played.

On the other hand, it can easily devolve into outright piracy if you don't control yourself.

The PowerPak (and similar) has these same advantages and problems, plus costing money and not supporting all of the library.
Dr.Agon:
Personally I would go the repro route, there's only a couple of games I want that didn't get an english release (or released at all), so it'd end up costing me about the same ammount of money.
What I really need is an affordable GB flashcart...
