Anyone heard of this peripheral?

Recommended Posts

I remember seeing an add-on for the Super Nintendo in old magazines in the mid-90s. It would go on top, plugging into the cartridge slot like the 32X does to the Genesis, and 2 cartridge slots would be on top. One for NES games and one for the SNES.

 

2 reasons I'm interested:

 

I often visit places that have a lot of NES games, and I'm a bit interested in playing them without buying an NES by itself.

 

Secondly, the cartridge slot on my SNES is looser than a 15-year-veteran hooker, and I'm sick of jamming paper into my SNES just to I can play games on it--this would remedy the situation.

 

Anyone heard of such a device or where I can find one today? It wasn't an "official" product, it was a 3rd party peripheral.

Could be Korean alot of "unofficial" products come from there. Lik-Seng might have what your looking for.

I don't think it was Korean or anything, but it was advertised in gaming mags--I think in Gamefan, in fact.

 

And haven't seen any "cheap NESes." Just ones about $30-40. I was thinking this gizmo'd be cheaper and it would save me the space of having another console on my shelf.

Nintendo certainly didn't make one though it would have been a good idea... backward compatibility is always a good idea, just look at Sony.

 

Nintendo and Sega could have extended the life of their 8- and 16-bit systems by releasing suhc a peripheral..

 

If it was korea than made one, I am SURE Taiwan made one... my ex roommate had a gizmo that let you copy SNES and Genesis games onto 3.5 inch floppy, and at the time she got it she was working in a video game store.... the first two nights of copying were just UNREAL.
