Years, decades later, we finally get a NES flash cartridge. It's called the PowerPak. That's a picture of it. Looks kind nice. Players copy their games on a flash card and insert it into the PowerPak. Here's a rundown:

When you start your NES you get a file browser to choose your game. Then you can save and load battery ram so all your saved games stay saved. Save files can also be transferred to and from your computer for use on emulators. Built in Game Genie code support lets you use cheat codes. Even better than the original Game Genie, the PowerPak has support for 5 codes at once.

Games load very fast, average around 7 seconds. This means a quick cycle for homebrew development on any mapper. Now you can see your game on real hardware instead of relying on emulators... Organize your games in folders any way you want for faster browsing. Compact Flash is used instead of something else like SD for maximum speed... The entire PowerPak system is updateable for future additions and bug fixes.

The sell here is obviously it being a flash cartridge for actual NES hardware. At $135 per PowerPak, illegal nostalgia doesn't come cheap! Then again, neither does legal. Brian Ashcraft
