This backup unit let you save to floppy a cartridge and then load it later in memory (without the cartridge)
All the roms you could find over the net come from this kind of unit.
The DPF can backup Genesis and SFC games.
A friend lets me use his DPF to test my demos.
Unfortunaly, in storage for a long time, it didn't work.
I so opened it to repair it.
I wasn't too long, I apply the remove-replace chips method.
I think a capacitor (C38) is bad because I'm unable to play a cartridge directly.
By the way, this is what I found while trying to repair it.
Please note I no longer got it : I acquired a SMD so I gave it back to my friend.
