[https://krikzz.com/our-products/cartridges/super-everdrive-x6.html Super EverDrive X6] <sup>(FC)</sup> ($100+) Has a small FPGA to emulate DSP chips. A relatively inexpensive step up from the X5 if you only want to play Pilotwings or Mario Kart and don't want to pay more than double for the FXPAK/SD2SNES.
SD2SNES Rev. X: A hybrid of the original SD2SNES and SD2SNES Pro designs, this is the predominant chink shit lazy clone flashcart that you'll find on Aliexpress, Amazon, and random "retro" stores. Same great compatibility as "genuine" (ie. built to the open-source specs by Ikari or KRIKzz) flashcarts, but may have random minor issues from earlier hardware revisions like bad MSU-1 volume balance, and don't expect any updates or help if something goes wrong.

[https://www.xkit.xyz/rcmloader/ RCMloader ONE] <sup>(HM)</sup> (~$20) - It's a dongle similar to the SX Pro, it can load three different payloads: Atmosphere, ReiNX, and SXOS. It will only work if your Switch hasn't been patched (aka purchased before June 2018).
[https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere Atmosphère] <sup>(HM/SM)</sup> - CFW for the Switch. Currently supports firmware up to 417.10.0, though an exploit has been found while the support for firmware 4.218.0-7.0.1 no usable code has been released for itimplemented but not fully completed. [https://switch.homebrew.guide/index This guide] appears to be the easiest to follow to install CFW.
[https://reinx.guide/ ReiNX] <sup>(HM/SM)</sup> - Another CFW for the Switch. Again, similar install situation as mentioned before (unpatched, low firmware, etc.). This one appears to be developing an easier way of loading backups.
<strike>Phoebe <sup>(HM)</sup> From the creator of the GDEmu. Works with 21-pin Saturn models.</strike>
[https://satiator.net/ Satiator] <sup>(HM)</sup> ($259) Expensive, but works Works on any Saturn without invasive mods, doesn't replace the optical drive and has high compatibility. It The main downside (apart from the price) is that it plugs in via the MPEG -1 decoder card slot and doesn't emulate an actual decoder card, so you won't be able to watch VCDs [[wikipedia:Video CD|VCD]]s or play the few handful of Saturn games that require rely on MPEG decoding-1 FMVs.
[https://shop.fenrir-ode.fr/ Fenrir ODE] <sup>(HM)</sup> (~$120+) Available for both 20-pin and 21-pin Saturn models.
Repurposing bootleg carts: Any Pokémon game on
eBay that isn't hundreds of dollars (and some that do cost hundreds of dollars) is actually a cheap flash chip and a CLPD CPLD to simulate the mapper wired to a bootleg PCB. These bootleg carts can be bought blank on aliexpress for peanuts and many can be reflashed with a dumper/flasher device like [https://bennvenn.myshopify.com/products/usb-gb-c-cart-dumper-the-joey-jr Joey Jr.] These bootlegs almost certainly use 3.3V chips wired to the 5V cart bus. This could shorten the life of the cartridge and/or the Game Boy.
