PAL from this era runs slower anyway, even with PAL ROMS.

edit:

Although there may be exceptions for audio, depending on the system/game (e.g. Sonic 1 MD vs later 'optimised' games).

I still prefer PAL version anyway. No complaint for me. Or go with Mini instead if you don't like it!

to get back to the original query, I'd say go for it. if it's pal and you live in ntsc, you might have to check if your tv can support the resolution. I think you'll get no signal if it doesn't. wrong refresh rate = black and white image or a rippling effect from top to bottom if not both. you also may need a converter for the power cable.

Should I buy 16gb micro sd cards or 32gb cards for these flash carts? hehe too much work to play these games

go with the smaller of the two. that's more than plenty for the entire snes library. I have just the ntsc and some jp games on my snes mini via a flash cart, and I don't even think it takes up 2GBs.

Ntsc games run slower on pal system right?

No, pal games are slower on pal system but you won't noticed it if you haven't played ntsc SNES at all.

If you compare them at youtube then yes, you will noticed. For me, I don't complaint because I loved Europe SNES than America SNES.

Again, if you want to play either PAL ROMS and NTSC ROMS on Super Nintendo PAL MINI Classic then there is no slowness because Super Nintendo PAL MINI CLASSIC IS 60HZ instead of 50HZ anyway.

I will buy the real hardware which maybe usa games run slower unlike classic mini which uses emulator.

damn, even smaller than I thought:

I fixed the hashes to every game that wasn't correct except for I think either final fantasy v or trials of mana. one of them makes no sense but the game still works. this is only really needed if patching the game and most emulators ignore hashes, so it's pretty pointless. I just wanted my games to be as perfect as possible. that's the size of the entire snes ntsc-usa library plus some fan translations (would need a hash fix).

The hakchi will not work with real hardware. Only Mini Classic version.

oh, yeah, you're right. they are compressed. I had forgotten about that. you can use clrmame pro and .dat files to rid yourself of region duplicates. I did that for my gba collection on the everdrive:

some roms have world as the region, since only one version of it was ever released. I made sure to keep those. I even have three of the six aladdin games I know of for the nes mini. 3 have unique ids; the other three are the same id as the normal game. I got the idea to get them from avgn. apparently, the deck enhancer (aladdin) doesn't like the top loader. I think avgn said he could smell burning plastic. lmao!

do they work on flash cart?

not all are yet reversed, and might not ever get reversed, sd-snes pro has most options for snes at the moment, but at a cost.
copyboxes had only 4 special ship options when you had one of susch games using such special chip on top, this can't be done on modern versions.
sd-snes has room to emulate a lot of these chips though, standard everdrive does none specialchip game.

I already bought the latest sd2snes called Fxpak pro and I hope it gets full rom support someday.

I have to setup alot of things next week hehe

most likely not, but the only roms not supported now are not that much played roms. i've got the fxpak pro (under the older name sd2snes pro) and a analogue super nt. can test if you're games will run, but for as far as i'm conserned all works fine.
for now: use this firmware for experimental latest futures, use: this firmware for official support.
you can use www.dotsarecool.com/sd2snesimg/ for modding the menu of the fxpak pro
roms not working today are in here, and most likely will never come working since they require hw that can't be fixed in a general way.
you can however buy a game with ST-011, ST-018 or SPC7110 chip on it and reflash with a programmer the rom inside for these games.
since Sufami Turbo games are a special 8 bit gaming kit, it's a strange thing and as far as i remember there never came a flashcart/copybox solution for these games, you'd have to buy those games in some way... might be unofficial carts on etsy/ali i don't know that.
good luck!
