I read a long time ago that the Bung DSP adapter cards basically are built off of disassembled Mario Kart cartridges but I'm not sure if that is just rumor or fact.

Rumor, all bootleg DSP games have cloned DSPs. The chip is actually an off the shelf part that is programmed/ordered with custom code. The bootleggers were probably able to get Nintendo's code by decapping the chip and reading the ROM using a microscope.

Some do, they are Pro Fighter clones after all. There might be expansion cartridges too.

The connectors aren't easy to find at all, even generic ones, suppliers have run out. Now they will have to be remanufactured.

There's still the expansion card...

Such a device is possible but it'd either need the transfer code stored in it's firmware (meaning it'd only have a few functions) or it'd be incredibly slow under computer control. |

Most of them have cloned DSP but not all of them 
Here's a pic of 2 adapters for the UFO. The DSP one on top is using an original Nintendo chip.

They do. At least for the UFO Pro 6 normal or hyperversion but it's missing components on the board (no PAL at least ).
Kaz once installed them but didn't change anything.
Was the function ever available in the BIOS? Maybe I'll give a try one of these days... |
