I remember way back some people made a suped up super nintendo that plays nintendo rom from a cd. I think it was called superstation or something like that. If anyone knows about this let me know where i can find one.

Nah, I think Encript is talking about playing SNES games on a SNES but from a CD instead of a cartridge.

Well, about 10 years ago, a company called Front Far East made the Super Wild Card device, which allowed one to play backed up games on the SNES. Basically it was a box that you slotted into the cartridge slot on your SNES, and it contained a lump of RAM and a floppy drive. You plugged your cart in the top and hey presto, about 2 minutes later it was copied onto a floppy disk.
After a few tweaks they release the Wild Card DX, which had a parallel interface to a PC, and you could load up the roms from the PC hard drive or from a CD drive on the PC.
Not sure if this is what you are talking about, but if you've got a SNES and a bunch of ROM's on CD..............

I own a Wild Card DX2. Mine also has the optional CD-ROM\Harddrive add on that lets you load games without using a PC. You can also load from a parallel port Zip drive.
As far as I know they actually still made the Super Wildcard DX at least up until a year ago. www.lik-sang.com was even selling them until they got simultaneously sued by Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony.

Thats the one I have, although I left it at home in the UK. Ahh the good old days. I remember drilling holes through the side of DD floppy disks just to make a 12 Mbit cart fit on one disk.......lol
