NES support would be amazing! I got a little excited when the title said “We’ve got Contra”.

This might actually work, but certainly not with the GB cart sitting in the SGB. Via an adapter in the Genesis slot, perhaps.

Exactly as described in the link.

Well… only one way to find out. You find my mailing address in the “Impressum” above. :D Though for the SA-1, the chances are fairly low.
EDIT: No luck for the SA-1, sorry!

When testing Super Game Boy, did you try BSnes and its “Multi-part cartridge” feature (AKA “Load Special” under the “System” menu)? As I understand it, you give it the SGB ROM and a separate Game Boy ROM. It then uses the SGB ROM as a BIOS and uses an embedded Game Boy emulator for the actual game.

I’d be interested in knowing whether 48 Mbit SNES games (like Tales of Phantasia) work.

I also seem to recall that games using the SA-1 chip (like Super Mario RPG) were very difficult to dump back in the day, though I can’t remember why… in any case, it’d be interesting to know if they work with the Retrode too.
