|
|
I'm interested in a SNES copier which can play SuperFX games. I would like to play Starfox 2 and it's probably cheaper and easier to buy a copier which can do this instead of building a cartridge.
According to various sources the Super Pro Fighter Q can do that. I can also remember that a member of the assemblergames forums had one running Rendering Ranger, which is a SuperFX game.
So which copier does have this ability and what do I need to get it work with Starfox 2? |

Renderering Ranger R2 is not a Super FX game.
There is no copier anywhere that can load a Super FX ROM file and play it. Due to the design of the Super FX cartridge there is no way to use a real cartridge to play a ROM on your copier or anything like that either. The only way to play Star Fox 2 is via Emulation or putting the ROM in a real Super FX cartridge.
Again, no Copier anywhere will play Super FX games or any other chip game with the sole exception of DSP-1 games because of the way that chip works is different than most others. |

oh what a pity
I'm sorry about Rendering Ranger, I thought it is a SuperFX game because I remember a review in a videogames magazine where they mentioned the use of the SuperFX chip in that game. |

No reason to be sorry about it. Lots of misinformation is out there about what games use special chips. People have mentioned Donkey Kong Country as one too. |

Can't some copiers can play FX games via its pass through port? Or are most copiers not wired up correctly for this? |

I've heard some can play the cartridge plugged into them. Star Fox will play on GDSF units. But Star Fox is Mario Chip, not GSU-1 or GSU-2 (SuperFX). It is built a bit differently. Mega Man X2 and X3 which use Cx4 don't work on my GDSF. Doom (GSU-2 SuperFX) doesn't work on it either. I don't have any other chip games besides Mario Kart which I assume works. |
