Breaking off the tabs in a SNES is the easiest way to do this.

The Game Genie won't work for games that have the FX chip as there's an extra PCB hanging off to the side. With regards to going the other way and playing SNES games on an SFC, you might as well take the top part of the cover of the SFC off as the carts just won't fit in the SFC.

I have a later model SNES Model that doesn't yellow but won't work with my earlier version Game Genie.  Anyone have a model 2.0 SNES Game Genie?

I have an OG yellowed SNES I use with my launch Game Genie but the image has an ugly and persistent red grid all over it, IDK why.

What games are you putting in it. I recall some of the later release games detected the Game Genie, but it mostly worked.

We ran Drakon away from here before neo-geo.com ever heard of him.  :lol: They even link to here where Mike/Prof runs him off.

Nando I know the SNES isn't as pleasing to look at.   However, busting off those tabs like others have said is really the easiest way to play.  There's also this:  http://www.amazon.com/Cartridge-Adapter-Super-Nintendo-Entertainment-S/dp/B007O3MWVG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389835200&sr=8-1&keywords=super+pro+8  It is a flash cart that can also be used as a converter.  The flash cart only supports games up to 32 megs though, and saving if you're playing from the flash cart is not straight forward.  However it should work fine as a converter.  Expensive for a converter but cheap for a flash cart.

Thanks Geise! That Flash cart looks sweet and it seems a user figured out why some of the units would stop working. Interesting.

I'm starting to lean towards the SNES Jr/Mini/2 and get a super fami later on.

Thank you all for the input.

It's easy to play SFC carts on the SNES, a pita to play SNES carts on a SFC.

If you don't like the look of the SNES, there is always the option of getting a SNES Jr, which, personally, I like the look better than the bulky original. The only thing is, I think anyway, you can't use the Game Genie on the Jr. I have one and tried it, while I was able to enter codes and such, they simply refused to work. You can do the same thing with the Jr, pulling the tabs out to play SFC carts. Otherwise, you're gonna have a bit of a tougher time.

The RGB cable also does NOT work with the jr/mini/snes 2 natively.

you can mod the system to use any cable you want though.
