The 65816 was used in the SNES but it was only initially 2MHZ and I believe the cpu's are in the cart, not the unit.

Later SNES carts has a 23 or 25MHz cpu.  Find out which games had those and you can rape them.

How does this work in 128 mode?

I have a 128D that powers on but I get no screen.  Anyone want to take it off my hands?  I installed an extr SID chip and have it wired to the RF out connector.  So you can only use a composite cable or the 80col RGB cable for output.

Yes, it was working years ago.  No idea what's wrong.

Yeah, I got confused with the Super FX2.

Maybe you were thinking of the Nintendo SA-1 chip.

This did appear in carts and was based on the 65816.  A list of games that use it and further info can be found here
It seems it ran at 10MHz though.


Nice find...
I think they proto-typed a faster chip to keep up with the Playstation but eventually abandoned that and put everything into the N64.  I thought Killer Instinct for the SNES has the fastest chip in a cart...  My memory serves me nothing these days...
