Lawrence Chiu reviews Super UFO Super Drive Pro.7. Backup/copier.
Lawrence Chiu
DS/HD floppy disks. The original videogame cartridge is not needed to play
the videogame.
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 videogames easier to play by
slowing them down. Real time save data and Gold Finger codes can be saved to
disk. On DPFX, real time save, Gold Finger, and slow-motion modes are
available on SNES only. On SSC, real time save and slow motion modes are not
available.
============================================================================5
Super UFO Super Drive Pro.7 (SNES) 16M min./ 32M max.
- Abbreviated SUFO Pro.7
- Available in memory capacity/capacities of:
16M, or 32M
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 DPFX, SWCDX, etc., the unit cannot
maintain memory contents when SNES is off and you re-load every time you turn
the SNES on. To the GDSF6 and PFXT'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 DPFX, PFXT, SWCDX, etc., the unit cannot copy a videogame
cartridge without disks and you must have blank disks ready at all times. To
the GDSF6'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 DPFX, GDSF6, PFXT, etc., this feature is not available. To the
SWCDX'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 DPFX, GDSF6,
SWCDX, etc., this feature is not available. To the PFXT'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 DPFX, PFXT, etc., the unit
cannot copy a videogame cartridge's BRAM to its internal BRAM or vice versa.
To the GDSF6 and SWCDX'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 DPFX, the unit cannot test its memory and ROM for defects. To
the GDSF6's credit, the unit can test its memory, BRAM, ROM, and disk drive
for defects. To the PFXT's credit, the unit can test its memory and BRAM for
defects. To the SWCDX'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 DPFX, GDSF6, PFXT, SWCDX, 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 DPFX, GDSF6, PFXT, SWCDX, etc., the
unit is incapable of overriding videogame cartridge configuration.
12. 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.
13. 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)
