Repro/patched rom carts
Hesch:
Thanks for the Etsy suggestion. Found a nice looking fully boxed cart that comes with map and everything. Seems to be getting good reviews from people
TDIRunner:
Is owning a cart version important to you? If not, I would just stick with a flash cart, or if you don't mind emulation, that opens up several more options.
Hesch:
I'd love to have an SNES flash cart. They're just so expensive if you want good compatibility with the custom chips.
Arseen:
One legal way is Retron 5.
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.
And for example on Super Mario World you can patch the Return to Dinosaur Island and have completely redone game.
There are limits to what Retron 5 can patch but basic and bit advanced stuff is possible.
Oh and I own Secret of Mana 2 cart with 3 players enabled.
Hesch:
Now that's an interesting option. Wouldn't have considered that. I'm not a fan of Retron for several reasons...but maybe it's worth to have one just for things like that.
