It won't play any of the DSP1 or FX chip games. So no Pilot Wings, Mario Kart, Mario RPG, or Star Fox. Otherwise I think it plays everything worth playing.

Actually.... mine came with a Mario Kart rom that worked. Or at least it booted and the first stage seemed ok. SFX games are out but you might want to try the dsp games.

You know, I just violated my own pet peeve of "why didn't you just try it first before you posted about it..."
I'll give that a shot and report back.
pbj:
Well, I cracked open the cartridge to take a look at the PCB and it's been redesigned slightly. No empty sockets for the DSP1 or clock chips.
Pretty much looks like this, except the left side isn't there.
Pilot Wings will boot up and then lock when you start a mission. Mario Kart doesn't make it past the Nintendo logo.
Oh well.

This is difficult to photograph but here you go

My obsession with these things continues unabated.
NES Everdrive clones are down to $54. Still waiting on those to keep marching down in price.
The SNES Everdrive clones are down to $27. I play mine all the time and have been very happy with this purchase. Right now I'm pedaling through Mystic Quest.
The SD2SNES clones are down to $96 but you have to get really creative with your searches to find them.
I also found something called a "DSP Games Collection" that's probably a SD2SNES clone for $70 but details are scant and I don't want to risk getting a 10 game multicart.
I've come to the conclusion that the Top Loader NES systems wear out pins on the cartridges. I've already got a copy of Dragon Warrior 1 that won't work on anything besides a top loader. Now it turns out the family copy of Dragon Warrior 2 has the same problem. Boots up to garbage screens on the clones unless you get very lucky or push on the cartridge at funny angles. So I was going to get a "Dragon Quest Remix" but it suffers from that same NES multicart problem of only supporting 1 save game at a time. Turns out the the Dragon Quest games were released on SNES in Japan, and there's fan translations that patch them to English, and you can pick those up for about $10-20 each.
So I've got a Dragon Warrior/Quest 1 & 2 coming in the mail.
