A videogame cartridge copier copies videogame cartridges to ordinary
3-1/2" DS/HD floppy disks. The original cartridge is not needed to play
the game.
All videogame cartridge copiers have built-in support for battery backed-
up videogames, real time save, Gold Finger, which is a feature comparable
to Game Genie, and slow-motion modes to make games easier to play by
slowing them down. Real time save data and Gold Finger codes can be
saved to disk. On Double Pro Fighter X, real time save, Gold Finger, and
slow-motion modes are available on SNES only.
========================================================================5
Super UFO Super Drive Pro.7 (Super Nintendo) 16M min./32M max.
Parallel interface is not available. DSP is not available.
1. SUFO Pro.7 can maintain memory contents even when SNES is off. Large
videogames such as Super Street Fighter II (32M, 4 disks) require a long
time to load. With other systems such as the Double Pro Fighter X, Super
Wild Card DX, etc., the unit cannot maintain memory contents when SNES is
off and you re-load every time you turn the SNES on. To the Game Doctor
SF VI and Pro Fighter X Turbo's credit, this feature is available as
standard equipment.
2. SUFO Pro.7 can copy a videogame cartridge without disks. The copy is
maintained in memory as long as the unit remains plugged into the power
supply. Write the videogame to disks at YOUR convenience. With other
systems such as the Double Pro Fighter X, Pro Fighter X Turbo, Super Wild
Card DX, etc., the unit cannot copy a videogame cartridge without disks
and you must have blank disks ready at all times. To the Game Doctor SF
VI's credit, the unit can copy multiple videogame cartridges without
disks.
3. SUFO Pro.7 identifies videogame while loading videogame from disk.
4. SUFO Pro.7 reads videogame files generated by:
UFO
G.doctor
P.fighter
5. SUFO Pro.7 can use X-Terminator codes in addition to Gold Finger
codes. X-Terminator is a feature comparable to Game Genie and is
compatible with Pro Action Replay codes. Codes can be saved to the disk.
On other systems such as the Double Pro Fighter X, Game Doctor SF VI, Pro
Fighter X Turbo, etc., this feature is not available. To the Super Wild
Card DX's credit, this feature is available as standard equipment.
6. SUFO Pro.7 has built-in X-Terminator codes (manufacturer claims over
2,000) for hundreds of videogames. On other systems such as the Double
Pro Fighter X, Game Doctor SF VI, Super Wild Card DX, etc., this feature
is not available. To the Pro Fighter X Turbo's credit, this feature is
standard equipment (built-in Gold Finger codes; manufacturer claims over
400).
7. SUFO Pro.7 has sound effects (annoying; can be disabled).
8. SUFO Pro.7 has controller test program.
9. SUFO Pro.7 can copy a videogame cartridge's BRAM (battery-backed-up
RAM) to its internal BRAM, so if you have a cool save game stored on a
videogame cartridge, you can transfer it to the unit's BRAM and use it
with a copy of the videogame. The unit can also copy its internal BRAM
to a videogame cartridge's BRAM. With other systems such as the Double
Pro Fighter X, Pro Fighter X Turbo, etc., the unit cannot copy a
videogame cartridge's BRAM to its internal BRAM or vice versa. To the
Game Doctor SF VI and Super Wild Card DX's credit, this feature is
available as standard equipment.
10. SUFO Pro.7 can test its memory and ROM for defects. With other
systems such as the Double Pro Fighter X, Pro Fighter X Turbo, etc., the
unit cannot test its memory and ROM for defects. To the Game Doctor SF
VI's credit, the unit can test its memory, BRAM, ROM, and disk drive for
defects. To the Super Wild Card DX's credit, the unit can test its
memory, BRAM, and disk drive for defects.
11. SUFO Pro.7 has artificial intelligence to defeat copy-protection.
The unit is capable of making NTSC SNES appear to be PAL and vice-versa,
so foreign videogames designed for PAL SNES or NTSC SNES work properly.
With other videogame cartridge copiers such as the Double Pro Fighter X,
Game Doctor SF VI, Pro Fighter X Turbo, Super Wild Card DX, etc., the
unit is incapable of making NTSC SNES appear to be PAL nor vice versa.
The unit is also capable of overriding videogame cartridge configuration,
as the configuration may be falsified for copy-protection purposes. With
other videogame cartridge copiers such as the Double Pro Fighter X, Game
Doctor SF VI, Pro Fighter X Turbo, Super Wild Card DX, etc., the unit is
incapable of overriding videogame cartridge configuration.
11. SUFO Pro.7 supports 2 languages: English and Chinese. It can use
alphanumeric (uppercase and lowercase), Japanese (Hiragana and Katakana),
and special (_!#$%&) characters in filenames.
12. SUFO Pro.7 has disk functions:
FORMAT (720K DS/DD, 800K DS/DD, 1.44M DS/HD, 1.60M DS/HD)
DELETE
RENAME
FILE COPY (single/multiple copies)
