Snes cd add on

Well... http://www.destructoid.com/super-road-blaster-the-impossible-laserdisc-to-snes-port-228189.phtml

Not exactly accurate if you take out the loading times, but you get the idea..

This right here?  That's Exactly what I'm talking about. 

I've played this. It's really awesome to see running.

Thanks for sharing this. I just tried it out on my SD2SNES and I must agree, it's crazy to see running.

Just another thing (like flash carts) that would've made early 90s me wet his pants.

Any early 90s electronic engineer would shit his pants seeing the insides of that cart. That was scifi back then.

I just wish they dumped the BIOS cart and any microcontrollers/ROMS on the console board. You know the Konix Multisystem? There's a guy who's pretty much an unsung hero that managed to document everything from the failed console, found hardware protos, found the MAJORITY of games being built to run on it, and made all that stuff public with an emulator. Of a console that doesn't exist. Last Ninja 2 KONIX is playable, how mind blowing is that?

Come on even dumping the cart (relatively easy) would be a nice start, people pretty much confirmed that there was a game in the works for the CD addon only (Sony Imagesoft - Fortezza) plus all those games that were planned for it, and even if no software is ever found it deserves to be preserved as a very significant piece of videogame history. What better way to do that besides releasing ROM dumps on the internet?

Well not exactly the missing PS/SNES system you expect to see, but my SNES CD clone works rather well. I'll stick with it until more of the original prototype units pop-up

Didn't realize that original Wondermega looks ugly. It's like someone tried to marry a cheap ass CD player with a Duo shell.

I wouldn't throw it out of bed. <3

The Victor model of the original Wondermega is one of my favorite looking consoles. Even the Sega model looks good when photographed properly. The Wondermega M2/X'Eye is one of the ugliest consoles around.

I don't think I can trust your opinion on anything anymore

I have to agree with BT, I love the look of the original WonderMega, I just wish I had picked one up before prices on them became insane. 

[Groover]

I think the Wondermega is pretty sexy but I prefer the duo. I saw this SNES prototype pics and the update of them turning it on and playing games one it.

This is the thing that started it all with the PlayStation. Nintendo really mis-handled that breakup.

I would like to get an SD2SNES to play Road Avenger and Zelda with cut screens and cd soundtrack. Also BS Zelda. It seems funny that the SNES is the only Nintendo console generation not to have a disk system.
Even the Famicom has a Disk System and the N64 got in on it. Perhaps it was the Famicom Disk System that made them unsure about CDs. I think they spent too long working it out that the generation ended and Sega didn't run away with it.

[ClodBuster]

The SNES had official rewriteable cartridges in Japan at the end of its lifespan, sold at some stores where you could also buy and load new games onto them.

Yes, it's not exactly a disk system, but I think at least something similar.

[CatPix]

Are those carts the same than for the Satellaview? or a different thing? I never heard of them if they are a different thing, tho it's not exactly surprising.

[ClodBuster]

I just found the Wikipedia article covering the Nintendo Power cartridge and flash writer kisok for the Super Famicom. I'm surprised to see it was also available in GameBoy format.

The first time I heard of it was in 1998 from a videogame magazine.

Ban this idiot at once.

Agreed, especially when the original Wondermega is powered on with the light indicators going.

[RyuHayabusa]

I've always thought the Wondermega was one of the cooler looking console designs ever, especially the JVC model. Now, the X'Eye is a different story. It's like you took a Wondermega and put it in the microwave for a couple of minutes. Terrible looking.
