Repro/patched rom carts

Insert genuine Japanese cart and SD-card containing the translation patch and Retron 5 can combine them.
This way you can also add the 3-player patch.

This is what I used my Retron 5 for, but it ate my Star Fox cart and mangled the SNES slot pins. I still need to get around to replacing that connector. :-[
Hesch:
Now that I think about it, all of this may be made moot by the SNES Classic.
SegaNomadman:
That sort of depends on if:
a) It's able to be modified like the NES Classic was and
b) If you can get a hold of one. ;D
Hesch:
I'd bet very good money that it gets hacked.
I don't have it preordered yet, but I managed to sneak in an NES Classic without a preorder...Hopeful that this "increased production" means I can grab one even easier.

My concern for the SNES Classic isn't whether or not it can be hacked (because I'm pretty sure it will be), but whether or not Mega Man X2 and X3 will be supported. The presence of Star Fox 2 on the machine implies Super FX 2 support, but this doesn't mean CX4 (or any other custom chip) will run properly. There were some patched ROMs I ran into this problem with on the NES Classic too; pretty disappointing. But most normal translation patches I ran on NES Classic worked fine.
