...maybe you can help me, I just got one of these and it starts up fine.. I can see the menu screen and make the selections shown in the video. But, as soon as I put a floppy disc in the drive,it goes nuts, the screen starts flashing red, black and green and it sounds like war is going on inside the wild card... Any advice?...Do you think I can just replace the floppy drive?
@AnotherPostTurtle Hiya mate, my one f'd up like this too. I think u could probably swap the drive but i just disconnected it. I connected the wild card to my pc and used to load games directly from there using some software that i can't remember the name of, it was over 15 years ago ! lol. A wild Card probably costs peanuts now if u could find one, i paid £200 for mine when it first came out. ouch !
@Stinger2578 There was actually at least one type of disk backup system that could be hooked up to a PC and access the HDD from it. Someone I knew back then had a setup like that, it loaded games so fast, and you could scroll through all the stuff on the HDD and just pluck out whatever game you wanted. I wish I could remember the name of the one he had. I had the Multi-Game Hunter....
@EnnesX Well, coming into this video I had not researched the background of the Super Wild Card - I thought it was something new (or new 2 years ago) and 2 years ago all those did exist.
@Stinger2578 I think the Super Wild Card is as old as the SNES almost. I remember reading about it in old Nintendo magazines, always wanted to know what it looked like. Bigger than I expected, wasn't expecting to see a full sized floppy drive built in.
i still have mine its the black 32M version , them were the days of DIY piracy .

Too bad the interface is Floppy disk versus something like USB, SD, Compact Flash or even 100 MB Zip Disk.

@Stinger2578 None of those existed back then. Not one.
