Got the Powerpak for Christmas and it is awesome!  One question, though - if a game, like Splatterhouse, says File Not Found when loaded, is there anything I can do to play this game on the Powerpak?  Thanks a lot Bunnyboy.

Most likely a mapper issue, esp. with Splatterhouse. It just isn't compatible yet.

Okay thanks, I didn't want to keep searching for other versions of the file if it was just a mapper issue. Is there hope in the future for these games to be playable on the Powerpak? Another game that doesn't work due to mapper issues seems to be Super Mario World.

From what I am to understand, NGD is absolutely correct. Those two games use mappers that the PowerPak doesn't yet recognize (and from what I understand, Super Mario World uses some kind of ridiculously unusual mapper...could be wrong on this, though). I'd wait for a mapper update .
