To Repro or to Emulate?

There are 2 repros I really would want someone to be able to create, but due to missing or limited ROMs are somewhat doubtful to appear anytime soon:
- Starfox 2 complete = The fixed Starfox 2 that is available as repro already but with the multi-player portion restored and added as well. Somewhat working Alpha of multiplayer is playable, someone just has to finish it and add it to the currents Starfox 2 ROM.
- F-Zero Deuce League = The missing 5 tracks from BS F-Zero (Forest 1-3 & Metal City 1-2).These have not been found and even videos of Forest 3 and both Metal City tracks are lost.are
Or Better yet F-Zero complete = Combination of original F-Zero (as Knight, Queen and King Leagues), BS F-Zero GB2 repro and the missing 5 tracks arranged like they were in BS2 weeks 1 & 2 (as Ace and Deuce Leagues)

Those two are completely understandable :) Anything along with the BS series makes sense to me to throw on a cart.
I've managed to pick up a few super famicom games for 5 bucks each shipped, so I'll case them up. How easy or difficult is it to reprogram them Shenske? I wouldn't mind learning to do this myself.

why not both? ;D

i personally like to get repros just to have a physical copy in english when possible , but emulating is nice cause you can stop save wherever you are in the game

I've considered building my own repros, but for the investment, I think I'm more likely to get an Everdrive and go that route. I like having the physical copy, but for me, playing the game on the original hardware is what's most important and the ED lets me do that.

Yes they do. Star Ocean used to go for $200 and up. But with changes in the way repros are being made, (using new parts and chips) the price has come down to $75 on average.
The price for Star Fox 2 is also falling. When I started buying repros the average game cost about 60 -70 dollars, but now I can get them at $30.
