SFC to SNES adapters that can play Super FX carts
« on: January 09, 2014, 09:42:17 AM »
In my quest to obtain a SFC, I've been looking at adapters to play SNES games proper and found out that most adapters don't have the pins for the Super FX carts. Do you all have any recommendations on adapters/bridges?

And no, I don't want an SNES and I'd rather not cut anything out of the SFC unit.

I've bought the ones that consolegoods.uk sells and they work. They are awkward since you have to have two carts plugged in, but you can't argue with results.

Will check them out, but two carts? Guess it will make more sense when I see it?

It uses one cart for region checks, the idea is you would put the cart native to your system in one spot and the import in the other. There isn't much point on doing this on a Japanese system playing us games but it probably makes more sense in PAL land.

I've never had a game not work with it, but it's a little annoying always having to have two carts plugged in at once.

Doesn't the Super NES games play famicom games?  I pulled out the two little brackets and it accepts Famicom carts?

It does, and it's pretty simple. However I do not like the look of the SNES at all.

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

Why do you have a SFC?  SNES can play Japanese cartridges fine.  Just bust the plastic tabs off inside. 

Saves you all this trouble of f*cking around.

I don't know.  It probably is.  On the regular SNES you can just flip the door open and see these two plastic tabs on the back sides.   Break them off with needle nose pliers.

Then, you can just shove SFC carts in the SNES and they play fine.  I do that for all of my games.

I really like the look of the hardware and have wanted one for my collection since forever. But at this point in time it's looking like it might not be worth it.

Just get a SFC and put a SNES inside of it! It might work, lol.  The buttons / switches kind of line up.

I'd laugh if it works.
