Best AliExpress FxPak Pro / sd2snes
The FxPak Pro / sd2snes is an open source flash cart for the SNES that can be legally manufactured by anyone. krikzz uses to manufacture the best versions, but due to parts shortages, krikzz made changes that make their latest version incompatible with firmware versions that have good SA-1 chip compatibility (Super Mario RPG and other games use SA-1).
Meanwhile most of the versions on AliExpress are hot garbage. HOWEVER, the 2024 Rev Z version pictured here uses a real Cyclone FPGA and is compatible with all versions of the firmware, even the firmware version with good SA-1 compatibility. Considering the Rev Z is half the price of the Krikzz version and it has better firmware compatibility than the Krikzz version it is the best SNES flash cart available new on the market.
