The Everdrive, SD2SNES, and Super Powerpak are fine contemporary flashcarts. They're definitely not extremely limited in their capabilities and are extremely user friendly. And while the SD2SNES is pricey, the others are priced fairly competitively to most any modern reprogrammable flash multicart. A little bit more than something like a Harmony for the 2600, but the technical requirements they face are a good bit higher which naturally leads to them being more expensive to produce.
Definitely not the 16 bit equivalents of the Skunkboard that is little more than a development tool. Great for programmers and testers, but of limited utility for the Jaguar gamer although I'm sure a good many went to such individuals since several hundred were sold through multiple revisions.
Excellent emulation and excellent multicarts are two of several reasons why homebrew thrives so much more on several classic consoles than it does on the Jaguar. It's a great tool for developer, publisher, and the community itself. Yet in the Jaguar world, both have been commonly derided. Attitudes seem to be changing towards emulation in recent years though, so I hold out hope that someone with the skills and desire will produce a multicart solution for this system and not be scared away.
