That, and you have to program it with a parallel port. Also, I'm not sure whether the tototek card supports SMS games, pretty sure the Everdrive does. The Everdrive will also support Sega CD SRAM in the near future.

The real top of the line product is the Neo Myth MD. But it's not perfect, it's more expensive, and the only feature it offers over the Everdrive AFAIK is FM support for SMS games. I'm happy with my Myth MD, but wish I had saved some money by waiting for the Everdrive (which wasn't in production when I bought mine).

I could use something like that for my Genesis/32X. The GDSF7/PSF2 that I got over a decade ago still does well enough that I don't need one for my SNES.
The Everdrive is the product you want.

Depends on whether you're a collector or gamer. I have settled on flash carts for a number of reasons, mostly because I want to reward people who are doing new things with old hardware. But other people are happier collecting the real thing. One thing to keep in mind is that not all games will work on flash carts. Most cartridges that have extra processors on board will not work. e.g Super Mario RPG.

I might buy that from you if the price is right. I'm looking to pick up whatever non-flash cart supported games I can.

No side tabs, so yeah, no games at all with expansion chips.

I think the SNES PowerPak is the better product. It has DSP1 suppport (Mario Kart, Pilotwings) and comes in an attractive case. But that does make it about 1.5x the price.

well, my friend is shipping his side of our trade monday ish so I should be doing the same, but when I get the items I will try to post pics....I am getting an n64 with remodeled wii n64 control pads? the snes flash cart....some n64 converter to play hacks...a couple japanese shooters for the n64 and a ton of other items from my want list, plus some extra goodies....all for some of the stuff I have....

Sound like a gret trade, but this flash cart has me intrigued.....

Hope the game play looks and feels the same..

I have the harmony cart for atari 2600 and its nice, but there are so many games on there, ive never played before.....I would want to have the manual so I can see what the point to the game is...back then you had stories behind what the programmers were programming to get you involved in the game...
