Hi,
I'm interested in buying a Super Flash 64MB but I've got a couple of questions I was hoping someone could answer.
I've got a PAL SNES Console and a Action Replay Converter (version MK III to be more precise).. would I still need to buy the Super T-connector or would the AR suffice as a substitute? And with the AR is the CIC chip necessary at all?
kind regards

Thanks tomy for the answer.
Got another question for you or anyone else who might be able to answer..
If i desolder a PAL CIC (guess any CIC would do?) and solder it unto the PCB of superflash, i'm guessing the regional-lockout-chip of my PAL SNES would accept it as a native cartridge and allow the code to run. But if have a ROM image of a NTSC cartridge flashed unto the superflash would it run or does official carts hold some sort of software check aswell? Of course things like timing and other things might be off, and I guess some games that uses the hardware intensively would not run at all or with serious glitches.
also, if I modify my SNES to be regionalfree.. is there still a need for a CIC onboard the cart?
Thanks.

I soldered a PAL CIC onto the super flash. It behaves like a normal cart, i've put it into a super soccer case ( the game i stole the CIC from ).
There are small tools that patch rom files in order to work on a foreign SNES. SNES Tool is useful, as well as killem31. SlowROM protections can be removed, too. But be careful, sometimes a game works without patching, and after you've patched all you get is a screen that says : This Game is not for you SuperFamicom or SuperNES . You'll have to try out the best combination. If the cic inside you SNES is disabled, you should'nt need any cic on the cart side, but i think some games need the cic to run properly. |
