I had one of these before, and for anyone who's never used one before, I can say it works surprisngly well! It essentially works just like the NES/FC EverDrive N8's save state support
The downfalls are:
- You can't change the game
- You can't unplug the console unless you're willing to use 6x AA batteries
- It's very inconvenient to put SNES carts in
- It's very bulky
I wish a modern version would be made, or even possibly have its technology implemented in a new Super EverDrive revision or in the SD2SNES.
Here's what I envision a modern version should have:
- Vertical cartridge slot, essentially look like a Game Genie
- SD or microSD card slot for the save state files to save on
- Detect every game you play and let you change carts out so that your save state files will still be on the SD card when you play another game.
- Load up the save states from the SD card for when you put back a game you were previously playing
- No AA batteries! I imagine it wouldn't need any batteries if it's using an SD card
Why hasn't any third party company thought up of a new, modern one? It would sell like hotcakes, especially if it works just as well as that 23 year old one (or even better). A lot of old surplus Nakitek SNES Gamer Savers do sell.
If I were an engineer I would certainly try and design something like this, but alas I'm no engineer at all...
