SNES: Added info on Chinese SD2SNES. Might be worth cleaning up
==SNES==
[http://krikzz.com/store/home/27-sd2snes.html SD2SNES] ($190) Has an FPGA to support some special chips, along with MSU-1 support (notable exceptions being SuperFX and SA-1). Can also play large ROMs such as Star Ocean. Can theoretically be firmware upgraded to support more chips, but that has not happened yet. A cheaper unofficial Chinese version available through websites such as AliExpress for around $115 with 8GB SD card included (search for "16 bit game rev f"), but may have quality control issues, such as being unable to update the firmware or MSU-1 audio not working. Many times, it will work just fine, but it is a gamble. It is also worth noting that the original creator (ikari_01) will not be seeing any of the money if purchased through this route. It is the only flash cart worth buying through Chinese websites, as it is an open source product, therefore identical to the real thing. EverDrives have DRM on the firmwares, so updating a Chinese clone will brick it, but this is not an EverDrive, even though it is made by KRIKzz.
[http://krikzz.com/store/home/13-super-everdrive-v2.html Super EverDrive] ($79) Optional support for DSP1-4 chips, but otherwise, no special chip support. Is a good option if you do not care about special chips.
