However, a special flash cart called a "Super Powerpak" which allows you to stock ROMs on a CF card and most ROMs work without issue. SuperFX games won't work though due to lack of an actual SuperFX chip.
There is another cart called the SD2SNES, which uses the more standard SD cards, and it can work on a RetroDuo Portable, so that means it will likely work on other clones including my FC-16 Go.
Problem? Both are very expensive, and since I only get homebrew/unlicensed ROMs, I don't see myself purchasing one soon.
Edit: Nevermind. Everdrive only supports DSP. SD2SNES supports most co-processors.
SD2SNES sounds 'swell, especially as it has support for byuu's MSU1 co-processor standard. Too bad it costs a lot as said above and it ain't that of a mass-produced cart so it's hard to obtain.
Speaking of the MSU1, it's epic lulz for byuu to come up with it, as it would pretty much be what could've been had Sony's deal with Nintendo for the SNES-CD went through. Except perhaps for the CD part, obviously. MSU1 worked, at least in theory or in emulation, but seeing it run in actual hardware is even more impressive.
