Alien³ (PAL/E/8)
Contra Spirits (NTSC/J/8)
Earthworm Jim (PAL/E/32/HiROM)
International Superstar Soccer Deluxe (PAL/E/16)
Jimmy Connors Pro Tennis Tour (PAL/D/4)
Mickey Mania (PAL/E/16)
Space Megaforce (NTSC/U/8)
Super R-Type (NTSC/J/8)
Super Street Fighter II (PAL/E/32/HiROM)
The Lost Vikings II (PAL/E/8)
Theme Park (PAL/E/8)

I think testing the following SNES/SFC cartridges would be more interesting since they own chips for data decompression/conversion:
Dungeon Master (DSP-2)
SD Gundam GX (DSP-3)
Star Ocean (SDD-1)
Street Fighter Alpha/Zero 2 (SDD-1)
Far East of Eden Zero (SPC7110)
Momotaro Dentetsu Happy (SPC7110)
Super Power League 4 (SPC7110)

It requires the Sonic2+Knuckles mod and a firmware update. Kirby 3 has the SA-1 chip and hence won't work, sadly. Just got Sonic 3 to work. It requires the Sonic2+Knuckles mod and a firmware update.

I contacted Matthias to have replacement screws shipped, which he did so at his own expense. I have to give him probs for not only offering to fix what really amounts to a minor problem, but doing so quickly and cheerfully. Good product, good support, good job! Following up to my post.
