A look at the Game Doctor SF7

Here's a short demonstration of the best game copier ever made for the Super Nintendo: the Game Doctor SF7, by Bung (a Chinese company that got shut down by a Nintendo lawsuit in the N64 era). Here I show how you dump a game from a cartridge to a floppy disk and load it back into the system's memory for playing. Pretty old-fashioned today, but nobody has yet made a better SNES piracy device, so this will have to do. Certainly a great little machine; built well and easy to use.

wait so can you put a floppy disc into your computer put a SNES rom on it put it in this and have it play?

[TheSwillMan]

@111random Pretty much. The ROM must be in Game Doctor format for it to work, however, so you need to either find ROMs in that format or convert them from SMC or BIN format yourself, using UCON64 or whatever.

So can i take a ROM on a floppy, pop it in this bad boy and play on my SNES?

[TheSwillMan]

yes! i demonstrated in the video

Even though this was made in 2009, you people leaving comments now need to go do some research. There are non-diskette based ones out that use both USB and SD or CF cards that have FX support that have been out for well over 2 years now...more coming from other people as well.

Also, this particular unit on the latter revisions supposedly supports a serial CD-ROM drive, but only reading obviously.

Thats pretty bad ass!!! why didnt i know about this when i had a SNES??

[Shulamana]

There is a flash cart coming out that will support SuperFX and a fair number of the other expansion chips using a FPGA. It's called the sd2snes but it won't be cheap, around $200.

[homer4556]

a sd card or cd rom would be good and like you said the fx support

[TerporFIN]

How did you hookup your SNES to your PC monitor

[OhNoNotMyPenis]

there is now a pretty decent flash cart called the super everdrive that takes memory cards it does support games that used the DSP1 chips but thats all.

its pretty expensive also at $145

@neogeouk Me too~! When I was small, I went to Aberdeen(HK) a shopping centre to buy the disks. I have lots too, but I don't know what''ve happened to them since my parents takes care of it.
