Hey,

I have some questions about the Super Flash. It would be very nice, if someone could answer them.

1) Does the Super Flash cart work without a CIC on a SNES using a regular "NTSC/PAL Adapter" (the ones you can buy on eBay)?

2) Did anybody try to run the cart with the CIC-161 on a PAL SNES? Did it work?

3) Is the CIC socket on the cart pin-compatible with the original CICs so that I can use a CIC from an official cart?

4) Is the menu program required or can I flash a single game alone onto the cartridge without any "pre-boot-code"?

5) About how many times of reflashing will the FlashROM last?

Thanks in advance for any answers, I would definately like to buy one if those points are clear.

Kind regards,
JohnDie

1. NO it will not work with any import adaptor you can buy on E-Bay.
2. YES it does work on PAL SNES
3. YES you can but you need to Desolder the CIC if you buy it with CIC
4. So far i know the menu program is required.
5. Dunno, but i bet long enought to play all games

Hi JohnDie, (Great guy from SNES scene)

Here is my answer,

1) I think yes (I don't have it), because it can use the cart cic which plug-in the adaptor (I mean the one have double slot)

2) No, you can not use cic-161 for Pal SNES. But you can disable Pal SNES lockout chip. Then of course can run.

3) Yes, right, sure.

4) No, you can't. The pre-boot-code use to set special I/O, like sram size, 48M mode, multi games bank setting else ..

5) See here : http://intel.com/design/flcomp/prodbref/298044.htm ,
It say "Proven reliability: 100,000 cycles, up to 20 years data retention"
