> It so happens I'm just starting to study the DSP games and may soon have more information on them. One thing I've learned from what I've read plus what I've studied is that one cart will not work in all cases. You need a minimum of two (or you need to hack up a DSP game cart with a switch) because the DSP-1 chip games I've looked at so far (Pilotwings, Mario Kart) use a different address line to select the DSP. You can see a reference to this in DiskDude's SNES Kart doc.

That would explain how this PilotWings patch I have works. It must change the address line. In case anyone doesn't know about this, there's a patch out for PilotWings. You can play it on your SWCDX2 using your Super Mario Kart cartridge as a DSP plug-in. It works really well. If anyone wants it, email me.
