The NES Powerpak is absolutely ace. Really, it's a no-brainer
The NES Powerpak is absolutely ace. Really, it's a no-brainer
First, I'm not Dutch and would be proud to be. I'm French
And I'm not used to post dirty or nasty message.
My Proof is really simple : ORDER #714 that I did 6 months ago to RetroZone e-shop.
The story:
First, RetroZone send me the wrong product.
Next, they ask me to send back the wrong product in USA by paying the shipping cost twice (one time for the order, one time to send back the product in USA). Of course, I did that.
After, I received back the package with the wrong product because they gave me a WRONG ADDRESS ! I've paid EUR 13,- more to get this wrong product back to me ... Grrrrr !
Since 4th August, I've send all pictures, all shipping cost, emails, ... and asking for a refund ! I've never get any answers. They keep my money and kick my ass !
How this shop can sell with a so nasty service !
Maybe they assume you're French so you'll just back down and go away.Originally Posted by mumbly
I've ordered from them in the past with no problems, as have a bunch of people here.
<Sothy> its the internet <Sothy> who cares
Retrozone have one of the best records in the community of any shopping site. In addition to great products that carry a warranty! Perhaps you had issues because it was an international order, but that's between you and them.
As for the NES Powerpak, outstanding product! In a class by its own on the NES. The incompatibility list is very small, with I think Castlevania III standing out the most, and that is because of hardware.

yes he does..I bought from him like 3 times..he's a great guy to deal with
Why do they list "Super Mario FX" on the incompatibility list?
"Super Mario FX Super FX chip not supported"
Is there a proto out there?

Looks like the list was copied and pasted from wikipedia then alphabetically sorted.
Super Mario FX probably never existed. They had Project Reality demos in mid 1993, so I assume that it is confused with this.

Super Starfox's Ark of DooM 3D?!?
Like Super Noah's Ark 3D proves, a pass-through for Super FX games might actually work. Just put a connector with circut board routing to the CF card and it could work. Just slap a Doom cart on for Star Fox 2 or SMW2, or Starfox for Wave Race or that racing game. If Wisdom Tree could somehow use Wolfenstein to run it, why can't the SNES PowerPak pull it off? Keep in mind I'm just being hypothetical before you post a reply to this, though.
There is a bit of a difference between bypassing the lockout chip and implementing a coprocessor from another cart. I don't even want to think about how complex the voltage regulating would be.

Got mine yesterday and attempted to set it up today. I'm getting various 'file missing' errors even after downloading the necessary files and putting them into every possible combination.
I think I had the same issue with the NES PowerPak at first and it turned out to be a simple fix. Looking forward to giving this bad boy the same kind of regular use.
Awesome, once you get it working, give us your thoughts!
What would be the point? By the time you got a cartridge with each revision of the Super FX chip, you'd likely have most of the good games for it already (Star Fox and Yoshi's Island for example), with just a handful of other games left to buy that used it (Nothing else worth playing in my opinion besides Stunt Race FX).
And I imagine the cost of custom engineering something that incorporated a cartridge bypass slot would cost far more than buying those last few titles that used one.

I am having the same issues
bunnyboy is having me send mine back
I've got a small question about the speed. On the NES Powerpak, NTSC-games were much slower on a PAL console, otherwise PAL-games are much faster on a NTSC console. And I'm wondering if it's the same on the snes.
I bought the Airball repro from Retrozone and I never received it. Around four emails went unanswered and I gave up after awhile. So much for customer service.
However, I bought a NES Powerpak and I love it. I'm going to order this when I have some cash.

Anyone else having this problem? I wonder how many of them are going out this way?
Anyone else get one and is it working?
Yet another youtube channel:

Probably, unless you either patched the rom or found a game genie code to change the Hz.
I bought mine on November 5. I'm just waiting for it to come in the mail. Hopefully it works and doesn't have any problems that digitalpress and jeffg had.
there are a couple guys on NA who got it and works fine, sounds like a couple got out with a bad lockout chip and bad CF card
