SD2SNES Rev. X: A hybrid of the original SD2SNES and SD2SNES Pro designs, this is the predominant lazy clone <abbr title="english must be your 2nd language, "chink shit" doesn't make grammartical sense"> </abbr> flashcart that you'll find on Aliexpress, AmazoneBay, 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://wii.hacks.guide/bluebomb BlueBomb] ^(SM): An exploit that takes advantage of a flaw in the Wii and Wii mini's Bluetooth libraries. Requires the use of The payload has to be delivered by a Bluetooth-enabled computer that's running Linux to deliver its payload (although if you don't want to install Linux , either installed directly to your computer, then most versions of Linux can be or live-booted from a flash drive instead).<br />This is the only exploit that works for the Wii mini, and even on the original Wii it can enable recovery from certain bricks, such as a banner brick. It can technically be used as a general exploit Outside of said brick recovery usefulness, however, using BlueBomb on the original Wii, but this is very much generally not recommended as there are better and simpler exploits available that don't require uninterrupted radio transmissions from a specific host OS.

[https://web.archive.org/web/20200308221331/https://sx.xecuter.com/#prod-sxpro SX Pro by Team Xecuter] ^(HM) (~$60) - A dongle that launches its own custom firmware and attaches to the charging port of the Switch. Useful for launching backups and homebrew applications. It works on any Switch that hasn't been patched or was released before June 2018. Ironically the product itself contains an anti-piracy measure that "bricks" the system if you try to reverse-engineer the dongle <ref name="SX OS DRM">https://torrentfreak.com/team-xecutor-piracy-code-has-drm-can-brick-your-nintendo-switch-180628/</ref>. That and the fact that it contains stolen code from other open-sourced projects have left Team Xecuter with a bad image in the homebrew community. Even better is the fact that two of the people leading Team Xecuter were [https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/two-members-notorious-videogame-piracy-group-team-xecuter-custody arrested by the U.S. Federal Government], so it may become harder to order their stuff online.

Discontinued as the manufacturer, after Team Xecuter, has been dismissed due to legal issuesgot busted.

[https://migswitch.com/ Mig Switch] ^(FC) ($64.04) - First ever flashcart for Switch. Requires game dumps with certifications and cartridge ID, which public cartridge dumps don't have. Has no menu system and switches games by ejecting and then inserting back. Unable to run homebrews.

[https://satiator.net/ Satiator] ^(HM) ($259) Works on any Saturn without invasive mods, doesn't replace the optical drive and has high compatibility. The main downside (apart from the price) is that it plugs in via the MPEG-1 decoder card slot and doesn't emulate replicate an actual decoder card, so you won't be able to watch [[wikipedia:Video CD|VCD]]s or play the handful of Saturn games that rely on MPEG-1 FMVs. [https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=saroo&_sacat=0 SAROO] ^(FC) ($50-150) A Chinese-made (as in designed by a Chinese hobbyist) flashcart that enables playing backups from the cartridge slot. Emulates expansion RAM carts and supports virtual saves, bypassing the Saturn's internal save RAM. Actually a decade old, but only mass-produced by the big PCB shops in 2023. It's hard to beat the price but all the documentation is in Chinese and [https://github.com/williamdsw/saroo-compatibility-list compatibility is dependent on read timing hacks], as it emulates the entire CDB interface in an FPGA. Cost and quality vary wildly as some of the chips used are EOL and sellers on Aliexpress and eBay will use chips from scrappers without testing if they actually work. Some sellers are now offering "Elite" builds of the SAROO board made with all NOS chips at a higher price.
