"This cart also gives you the ability to play games that you don't own but, you wouldn't do that right" *_sweats profusely_*

[@Chaos89P]

**Looks around shiftily** I have an SNES Mini, so that's not much of a problem.

[@ian-gs2ky]

let's be real here a good 95% of people who buy these use it for piracy

[@lupinedreamexpress]

Don't copy that floppy *adjusts hackerman hoodie*

[@KuraIthys]

Yeah, even the people that legit use it for homebrew are more than likely still using it for piracy on the side...

[@randomlifts]

I wonder how many people would be willing to Pay for homebrew ROM that some people spent months to code, enhance etc. Now why would someone want to spend time developing on this vs say. Android or ios where you get paid even of low, vi LA advertisers. Coding on this is dead end.

[@jonw.1043]

Man I bought this thing a few years ago. I had no idea they were going to support SFX 1&2 AND SA1! That is awesome.

[@kemy6775]

Now it supports Super Gameboy so it’s even better. Even though I have a Super Gameboy and GB Everdrive, but this emulates the Super Gameboy 2 with the correct timing.

[@AlexChipman]

They told us to be patient and that Super FX was coming and the day is here!

[@StressedInProductions]

Thats cool. I really want to try it now.

[@mtonitonit2456]

This is pretty amazing :-)

[@dynastylobster8957]

the SA1 support is out now, why no update video?

[@flash4354]

Hot stuff. Sad I don't own an SNES myself.

[@aaronflores8541]

Kinda bummed you didn't test out MMX2 and X3

[@anonymoususind]

3:09 that's pretty much MSU-1

[@astick7777]

That is really cool Most of this stuff is all gimmicks or whatever ... this was neat tho.

[@yorkshirepud6676]

One FX game only worth getting Star Fox, l bought this for 5 pounds about 6$ on Ebay, the sd2snes USA is insane in price, the China copy also, l recommend the China Everdrive 45 pounds, it takes 15 to 20 second to flash the game but your saving $$$ if you are just starting and don't even have a console get the hacked mini with the top 100 games of all time built in around 100 pounds (with every FX game included)

[@CPS2]

Star Fox, Star Fox 2, Yoshi's Island, Stunt Race FX. All good games. Also: get a job, cheap ass.

[@yorkshirepud6676]

@@CPS2 Had a Job Smart Ass!! retired now need to save my Penny's l own 19 original carts inc Star Fox!

[@Yipper64]

mkay so imma try to get this and that mobile snes console.

[@ericcartman7420]

"Mobile SNES console"? If you are referring to the SNES Mini/Classic, that is just a small (and sub-par) emulation box that has nothing to do with the original hardware. The SD2SNES (or "FXPAK Pro", as it is now called) doesn't work with the SNES Mini/Classic.

[@Yipper64]

@@ericcartman7420 Okay firstly, the SNES classic is great for a collectors thing. Secondly, no i didnt mean that, i meant something i think it was the redroduo or something. Plays SENS cartridges and NES cartridges and its a mobile console. I did get a clone console as well, but i got the super retro trio, which isn't mobile but includes a slot for Genesis. So thats fun.

[@wolfzert]

hey dude, what about the mega mans X2, x2 and SF Alpha2?

[@ericcartman7420]

Those also work by now.

[@ajmetz82]

You do realise Starfox and StuntRace FX were made by Argonaut as well don't you? ^_^. Not just Vortex.

[@KuraIthys]

I so wanna mess with SuperFX and SA-1 for homebrew, but I really don't like the thought of modding original cartridges to do it. Not that it's expensive as such to source such a cartridge... But it still seems a shame. (At least, the SA-1 is cheap enough if you take Japanese carts. About 79 games use it, and quite a few cost very little. SuperFX is more expensive, though again Japanese carts are easier to source. - at least, for original version superFX - Second version costs a small fortune, with the japanese release of Yoshi's Island being the easiest source.) Of course, emulators support it too, but it'd be interesting to see it on real hardware... Or... Sort of real hardware. Guess if I wanna really check the accuracy I'd still have to sacrifice original cartridges... -sigh~

[@MrV902]

*A HUNDRED AND NINETY-SIX DOLLARS?!*

[@sophisticated]

What's the game with the trucks? I used to love this game!

[@ericcartman7420]

Maybe, you mean Dirtracer FX or Rock'n Roll Racing. Edit: Might also be Stunt Race FX.

[@Michirin9801]

And I thought they wouldn't be able to deliver on this promise... This is one of those times where it's really good to be proven wrong!

2:08 "you wouldn't do that right??" BS Zelda in the very next scene. absolute god tier

[@john2001plus]

I was an assistant developer on Dirt Trax FX. I wondered if this cartridge could play it, and now I know. I like this game. It is challenging. There is an interesting two player combat mode. Given the limitations of the machine, I think that the lead programmer did an excellent job creating the 3D engine and getting it all to work. My job had to do with configuring the data for the tracks and the menus, which required a great deal of precalculation to make the game run efficiently. I helped just a tiny bit on Doom for the SNES. I'm not particularly fond of the SNES version, because I was a fanatic for the much better PC version. By comparison, the SNES version is not as smooth, and the graphics are are too blocky.

[@MegaJimZero]

John Coffey Very cool. I didn't know about Dirt Trax FX but I'm interested. I kind of like the SNES port of Doom even though the PC version is superior. I understand that it wasn't easy to get these games working well on an SNES. Thanks to you and the other developers for these games that came out during some very influential years of my life.

[@john2001plus]

It was an interesting period to be doing game programming.

[@john2001plus]

Dirt Trax FX is one of my favorite games I ever worked on. Devoted several months of my life to that game.

[@Chaos89P]

John Coffey Didn't John Romero have something to do with the SNES port of DOOM being inferior or was that another port?

[@john2001plus]

Not to my knowledge. The SNES hardware is more limited and the cartridge format does not allow as much storage space.

[@mgunter]

This SNES cartridge has better support than most AAA games today.

[@mitchellquigley6442]

Facts

[@Supaslicer]

Programmer RedGuy is to thank for this... ever since he has touched the cart, he has been doing some amazing things with the SD2SNES.... He has even started to make HUGE strives towards SA-1 --- he has some issues with it.. but he has the Kirby games working, Mario (mostly), and there are a few games he is struggling with due to some sort of emulation the carts did themselves(very small % of carts did this.. we are talking 1 or 2 carts) RedGuy also stated that due to the amount of power SA-1 needs, MSU (that music thing) won't be able to run with SA-1 in use

[@ClampEEGEE]

If you waited a few more weeks you would've been able to show off the SA-1 compatibility. And Stoneagegamer really doesn't have anything to do with the SA-1 compatibility, that's all due to the work of a guy on Krikzz's forums.

[@tokugamer1697]

Glad somebody said it. Either way, can’t wait for more updates. Had the cartridge since it was released.

[@Smokron]

So are they working on SA-1 Compatibility?

[@tonycrazy88]

Stoneagegamer doesn't. But RedGuy is.

[@Eyedunno]

And there is another person now working on S-DD1 (Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Star Ocean). When/if those two chips are supported, I believe that will be 100% compatibility with U.S. titles. There will still be a decent Japanese RPG that won't work because it uses the SPC7110 chip (but it's well within the capabilities of the system and there is some interest in supporting it eventually, so just wait), and then there are the Sufami Turbo games that used a special cartridge that allowed linking two mini cartridges (dunno if that could ever be supported), and two Shogi (Japanese chess) games that will never be supported, period, due to the power of the onboard math coprocessors. tl;dr: We are probably less than a year away from compatibility with every SNES/SFC game that anybody would want to play in 2018. :P

[@yukisaitou5004]

Having just compiled an alpha version of the SA-1 firmware from RedGuyyyy's GitHub I'm surprised how many games are already at least somewhat playable. As well as SMRPG I've tried both SA-1 Kirby games, Jikkyou Oshaberi Pariodius and Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension.

[@LonSeidman]

Looking forward to playing with this on my Super NT!

[@luigiymario2xd]

sweet!

[@Artista_Frustrado]

that would be amazing -also im not sure if the Super NT can actually read the SD2SNES but i might be missing your joke-

[@XOmniverse]

SD2SNES works fine on the Super NT

[@musicmanfl23]

Lon get your ass out of here! Lol just kidding man, I love your content aswell 🖒

[@flow221]

No. The Super Nt by itself doesn't replicate any of the enhancement chips. At least not yet.

[@rahzadan]

SD2SNES 1.9.0 firmware has now been officially released with SA-1 support!

[@TheGlitched64Reads2]

Oh hey was just re-watching that old review yesterday and wondered if there ever would be an update. Didn't expect an answer so soon. :P

[@ZombieGadget]

Those complaining about the price of the Sd2snes don't realize how expensive popular SNES games are nowadays.

[@tonycrazy88]

Yes. 30 Bucks for Super Mario Kart on eBay with seller saying "Rare Item". WTF

[@AirshBornely]

That's just people being cheap. Meanwhile, I got Yoshi's Island for $20 on eBay.

[@HollowRick]

@@AirshBornely you're lucky I mostly see it for $40

[@KuraIthys]

30? 40? A lot of the time I see games listed at $100-300 XD Of course, Japanese titles are cheap as dirt. Most of the time the shipping is 2-3 times the price of the game. I have spotted that a lot of PAL games are $10-20 if they're not amazingly popular games...

[@cooolpotato]

That still doesn't justify a ridiculous mark up IMO. How much do you think an item like this would cost to make? (I'll give you a hint, it's not much).

[@RodimusPrimal]

I want this. To be able to play my ROM hack of Final Fantasy VI (Woolsey Uncensored Edition) on real hardware would be awesome. BTW, Rerez, I was a little nervous to meet you while at TooManyGames this year. Was talking with Shawn and Dave but I didn't want to bother you.

[@a.thompson5518]

Hey Rodimus Primal, fancy meeting you here

[@RodimusPrimal]

A. Thompson I don't see myself as that fancy but thanks. I like a lot of reviews on this channel.

[@StephanieHua]

SD2SNES is the best flash cart for SNES. Perfect for all the rom hacks and home brew on actual hardware

[@yukisaitou5004]

You can play the uncensored edition on the Super Everdrive I believe, but the SD2SNES allows you to combine that with the "Dancing Mad" MSU-1 hack for CD quality music.

[@cliptrashbin2389]

What I didn't know you were for nintendo I thought you liked commodore 64

[@chemergency]

Great news: The SA-1 enhancement chip has been cracked and is going to be added likely within the next few weeks or a month or two, enabling near-full compatibility with the entire SNES library! Fucking radical!

[@stevesmith1496]

I love Stunt Race FX. Just simple and fun.

[@RealThatDesignerGuy]

$196 bucks? Too rich for my blood. Still pretty cool device.

[@tonycrazy88]

Yoshi's Island begs to differ.

[@tonycrazy88]

I bought it but in Japanese. Finding a English version at a reasonable price in Europe is impossible.

[@dschult3]

I was about to say the same thing! Wow, is that expensive!

[@ericcartman7420]

@@tonycrazy88 Got mine complete in box with manual and whatnot for a little over 40€; I think this is perfectly reasonable of a price to pay. You just need to be lucky on eBay or Amazon.

[@danielexplosion]

Hey Shane, I have a humble request; you briefly spoke about MSU files, right? How about doing a video exclusively for MSU-related content? My ultimate dream for you to do a full-on review for Conker's High Rule Tail! Which, if you don't know what that is... it'll probably blow your mind.

[@captainnintendo]

I was very happy with my SD2SNES for years, even after I had disappointingly accepted that SuperFX support would probably never happen... And now, here we are, so many years later, but damn I'm happy to finally see it supported. And now they are even talking about SA-1 support in the future which I never even expected to see! Here's to the king of Flash carts

[@KilbyTheCoolest]

Yo Rerez! I'm a huge fan of the show and I was wondering if you could take a gander at the EEEKit Nintendo Switch Controller. Keep it up! Love the content and Rerez 2

[@i_am_boredom]

Finally. Is opens a lot more games to be used. Will be getting this,

[@LittleRainGames]

Its not actually software, its programmed hardware, its called an FPGA. You can "program" logic gates to simulate any circuit at the hardware level.

[@ExtremeWreck]

It looks very great! This has some cool stuff.

[@Cartman2437]

I have a Super Everdrive Deluxe Edition version 2, should i spend the money and buy the new SD2SNES?

[@waltercomunello121]

My jaw dropped when I saw those FMV sequences running on an SNES. Then I remembered some NES exploits that showed graphics and sound way better than what the cartridges allowed. The GPU is a 16bit one after all.

[@realtrisk]

Oh wow! Awesome! I need to update the firmware on mine and get this working! Thanks for the video!

[@Kippykip]

Holy shit, although I guess I'll still have to get a real SNES at some point.

[@TheRenegadist]

Thanks for the update, this is what finally pushed me to purchase it for myself!

[@AWalYT]

Awesome to see big developments on the SD2SNES like this. Late last year someone was successful at cramming full VRC7 FM synthesis into the Everdrive N8, and when I found out that huge obstacles like that were being destroyed, it got me all giddy. Glad to see it happening with other devices.

[@johnnyortega5453]

Whoa!!! Really?? the one used for the game Lagrange Point? That. is. Fucking. AWESOME!!!(excuse my "french" lol but I'm really happy hearing this)

If you have one, one of the forum members was nice enough to package the VRC6, VRC7, and Sunsoft 5B mappers together: krikzz.com/forum/index.php?topic=3405.msg60004#msg60004

[@johnnyortega5453]

AWal Thanks and Kudos to you for the info. And kudos to that forum member for packaging those mappers.

[@skeletonskeleton9010]

I play games I don't own... At my friends house hahahaha!

[@TheXev]

One of the features of OLD backup carts for the SNES is the ability to "pass through." You could just keep a cart installed in the backup reader, and have its enhancement chip pass though the backup cart. This would allow you to play S-DD1 games like Star Ocean TRANSLATED with an actual Super Nintendo while having a Street Fighter Alpha 2 cart pass through its enhancement chips. I always found it odd newer carts never attempted to replicate this.

[@GrOuNdZeRo7777]

Meanwhile in the 90's we had the wildcard disk system, piracy? Yes but at least we were able to play obscure Japanese titles.

[@ericcartman7420]

And you want to play obscure Japanese Shogi games, because...? The SD2SNES (or "FXPAK Pro", as it is now called) also has the ability to play Satellaview games and ROM hacks. It also has MSU-1, Savestate and Cheatcode support, Super Gameboy support, Third-Party Support, enhancement chip support... You obviously didn't look enough into it. Your Wildcard Disk System is inferior to that, period.

[@MatSpeedle]

Been waiting on this for AGES! Awesome news time to get that FW updated! :D

[@Thisisjs96]

Ok I see you showed off very old pixel games but since you can play any Nintendo games does that include all the GameCube games as well? Because I would love to play Mario kart double dash and metal gear solid

[@ericcartman7420]

... are you trolling? Is that a serious question? These are entirely different systems, one being based on 2D, the other based on 3D. Of course it doesn't work like that. The device shown in the video is mostly about Super Nintendo and maybe, some official peripherals, like the Super Gameboy adapter. Anything after that obviously won't work.

[@ibapreppie]

They also make SD2Vita, also fantastic for hacked Vita's

[@The90sGamingGuy]

I have this model of SD2SNES. Every game ive thrown at it has worked except Super Mario Kart and Pilot Wings. I think there is something wrong with the roms i have. These types of carts are great to play hacks and homebrew games. I'll be downloading some hacks. I have some SNES hacks on cart. Great video guy.

[@CommodoreFan64]

I've never been the biggest SNES fan, but I just might have to finally break down, get an OG SNES, some controllers with extension cables, and this cart.

[@Domarius64]

Here’s the thing - the companies may release old games on shitty virtual console stores (and Nintendo’s minis are awesome yes) but there is NO way to play these old games on original hardware, with original controllers, on a proper CRT TV. And I have all these things and can say there’s still nothing like the original al setup for proper nostalgia. So for that we have the Everdrive to thank. The only other way is to try and buy old carts at a premium, which are slowly falling off the face of the earth. NO DEVELOPER IS MAKING MONEY FROM THOSE SALES ANYMORE. I say, go ahead - get all the roms you want on it.

[@ZellDincht1226]

This looks super nice, but then I saw the price tag of $200... That's like buying a used console. Maybe I'll pick it up one day.

[@YoshiAngemon]

What inspired Dirt Trax FX, Mainframe Entertainment? Don't get me wrong, I like Mainframe for their achievements like Beast Wars and ReBoot, but I couldn't resist using them as a joke. I mean, Waspinator getting blown to scrap, or Megabyte's Minions getting their files handed to them by Bob or Enzo would be prime examples of humor in CGI.

[@TheUnamazingRando]

This is just what I've been looking to get for my mom! a cheaper solution for her to be able to play super Nintendo games since she can't always afford to buy new games for herself, and she won't need to borrow mine all the time. And when I find another game she's interested in playing, I can add the Rom to the sd card!

[@DrMatrix1231]

Neat, I'll just go and buy thi- (See's price tag) Oooohhhhh kayyyy, no

[@kimberlyrose984]

Yeah, me too!! I’m so sad it’s just too expensive for my broke ass

[@martinromocubero4114]

Would love to know if there would be any way to play with the SuperFX's Crystal's speed. I have all SFX games overclocked and the difference is brutal in some cases. Doom runs much better in 30 MHz (And making it better than the 32x port in my opinion hahah!), but the cart crashes randomly. There are examples on internet of a GSU-2 swapped board with ludicrous speeds (50 MHz -5x the original speed-) on Stunt Race FX for example. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpexemZ-pbqnY5Y

[@JamesThomasJeans]

We never got that updated video, it looks like. Any chance at getting a review of the fully functional FXPAK Pro version of this cart?

[@Imgema]

Oh not again with the software emulation inaccuracies... Software emulation can be as perfect as the real thing. Have you ever used BSNES/HIGAN? Please, stop using zSNES.

[@Imgema]

Any source or proof for that claim? The only version of BSNES/HIGAN that i know of running it faster is BSNES-Mercury which has an option to overclock it. But again, it's just an option.

[@ehs03y3ol]

ANYWAY... The SD2SNES is an hybrid emulation-hardware device... So it's not that all different internally if extra chips cores are based on open source emulation cores... uh? KZbinrs being derps is usually...

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

There must be a way to say "this runs the same off the sd2snes than off the original cartridge" in way less than 12 minutes, but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe if you didn't simply repeat it 27 times though? Yeah, looks like that would be a good start...

[@AmstradExin]

People like Doom SNES because all the other console ports are more or less based on the Jaguar port, while this is hand-made and features Stompers, that all the other console ports did not have. Too bad that this game shows just how awful the super-fx performed. You could as well solder a 386sx25 onto the board and it could have handled doom better.

[@beefcurtainz69]

I know it’s hard to tell ppl where to find roms but is it the same for the MSU-1 packs? Is it possible to recommend a good place to find all the MSU-1 audio games the are already pre-patched and ready to go? Hard to find all of them in one place.....

[@movement1957]

Most of the super fx chip games suck. I'm happy with my china version

[@Crayolapup]

Could you show us the Moqi i7s? Sadly its $360 on Ali-express Its an android device that can play NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, PS1, PSP, Atari 2600, DC, C64, Sega 32X, Sega CD, Genesis, MasterSystem, Bandai Wonderswan / Color, MAME, FBA and can play Saturn, Gamecube, and Wii out of the box.

[@ericcartman7420]

Sounds like crap. Playing multi-console games on the same device means that you are bound to the same controller. Good luck playing N64 and Wii games with the same controller lol. If you want to do it right, you grab the original console and play it that way.

[@Bobson_Dugnutt_Esq]

This thing is the gift that keeps on giving. Nice review

[@TychiballsTychiballs]

So if I bought this now, will I be able to update it to play mario rpg when it finally does get supported? Or is it a hardware thing and I would just have to buy the new and improved version of this cart later?

[@pavy415]

There were some games bigger than 6MB in size and how in the world is snatch able to run on snes

[@Ome_cent___]

There is no fx chip inside but a firmware update that enables it. Sooo there is an other processor on the cart that learns to behave like a fx or dsp chip... Well thats Emulation again xD...

[@Ragesauce]

Starfox 2 is fun as fuck, the original starfox is too, they were really well made for their time.

[@wizemonk4925]

UPDATE this video is in correct these now support the fx perfectly just download latest firmware your good to go

[@AxiomofDiscord]

You should be playing this game at the lower framework sounds like some console peasant talk.

[@dhoffnun]

This is so awesome!! But damn - $200. I'm not saying it isn't worth it - but that's no impulse buy price.

[@emmettturner9452]

In a way, Star Fox is actually easier when it runs faster. When you double-tap a shoulder button to react to incoming fire with a defensive barrel roll, it actually works. On the real thing it will almost always miss a button press and refuse to roll. One clear disadvantage of the higher frame rate from emulation or overclocking is that the intro is cut off (“Emergency! Emergency! ... Emergency! Emergency! Incoming enemy fighters. Prepare for launch!”). That’s the one I would have showcased if the SD2SNES gets it right (I haven’t tested yet).

[@alcione1977]

Congratulations! Very god video of games obscures and classicals! I want this SD2SNES!!

[@doriphor]

I'll definitely buy this or something similar once ALL 70+ enhanced games are supported.

[@KayoMichiels]

I'm guessing that the cartridge uses fpga to emulate the cartridges... emulation but hardware wise...

[@ChristopherAndersonPirate]

5:25 like Doom on SNES. If you play Doom on an emulator you will get stuck on walls.

[@stapuft]

So it comes with a 16 gb card......there arnt even enough SNES games to fill that halfway

[@SonofTiamat]

Just imagine what some ambitious game developers could do with this. There could be homebrew games that take full advantage of the memory to create all new SNES games. Imagine an RPG on the SNES as big as Skyrim!

[@flemishdog]

"Even though they made the chip, they don't seem to be able to make a fun game" well you better take back anything you said about Star Fox, since that WAS programmed by Argonaut Software.

[@SuperElite27000000]

Why you wouldn't just get a snes-usb adapter and use an emulator like snes9x is beyond me...

[@TonySchulte]

I bought 1 of these a couple years ago w/ all the USA games off ebay. How do i go about making it so it can play super fx games & eventually super mario rpg? Is there a place that sells a card w/ all the games worldwide?

[@cgzepp]

This means I'll finally beat Yoshi's Island the way its supposed to be! all emulators run it like ass.

[@RocMegamanX]

Unfortunately, the big issue with the cartridge is still the whole emulation thing. I wish I could get this with a clear conscience.

[@ButcherGrindslam]

SNES Doom is shit. You can't see anything and input lag makes this unplayable.

[@Chaos89P]

Yahel Messinger For any number of reasons. Unfortunately, you only got a comment from me.

[@josetorresmandujano]

This cartridge its legal to use in speedruns? I think not for the fact that is playing the game in a real super Nintendo

[@Eyedunno]

This idea that the SD2SNES didn't support special chips until recently is crap. It's supported the Cx4 chip (Mega Man X2 and X3), the DSP series of chips (Pilotwings and Super Mario Kart), and the ST0010 chips for years. Yeah, Super FX is the most hyped special chip, but SD2SNES already had the best compatibility of any SNES flash cart.

[@cristianmastrocicco4552]

Goddamn, this stuff always costs too much. And it becomes sold out quickly...

[@michaeladams9807]

Love the Zelda shirt 👍👍

[@fluffycritter]

Technically the SD2SNES is emulation (even without emulating the SuperFX) - it's emulating the cartridge's hardware for use with a real SNES.

[@CPS2]

Nah.

[@MidnightMechanic]

Ok, I really need to know, has anyone modded the original ALTTP with the graphics package from Parallel Worlds, using the enhanced orchestral soundtrack, and the FMV clips stacked on top? I would DEFINITELY play that on an emulator or on this cart!

[@BOYD1981]

I'm not 100% certain but it seems this added feature has caused the price of the SD2SNES to go up, I seem to recall them being around £88 when I last checked. It's now closer to £150, which to be honest is still a really good price considering what it allows you to do.

[@yukisaitou5004]

The SD2SNES has been around $200 for as long as I can remember, maybe you're thinking of the Super Everdrive which has always been much cheaper but it has next to no support for games which had additional hardware in the cart.

[@1337Shockwav3]

Basically what Yuki said ... friend of mine owns a SD2SNES that was manually assembled by the dev at a meetup and he paid something around $200 as well (that was 3 years ago).

[@ehs03y3ol]

You used deprecated emulators and cries couse it runs faster than it should. ZSNES FX's chip emulation core running at 30 MHz instead of 20 MHz is a comprensible error about this emulator was discontinued 11 years ago, and this was implemented for first time arroun 2k year, and probably the code is nearly 20 years ago, likely the old SNES9X v1.39 15-SEP-2001 code implementation. Well, tried to update your emulator to today releases?

[@CPS2]

Emulators are for noobs
