[edit] Stub?
Does anybody else think this article shouldn't be considered a stub anymore? As far as I know that is all the info on the Super FX and Super FX 2 chips in the article. Anybody else's opinion?
- It could use more information on the hardware specs, as well as details on Mode 7 capabilities. Andre (talk) 18:48, Dec 19, 2004 (UTC)

- Mode 7 is on the SNES hardware, not the super FX, or can superFX layer backgrounds as well? De-stubbing. 65.12.0.56 00:56, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
More information from the 'esnes' SNES emulator author (1997); I spoke with him almost 10 years ago, the information is still on the web: http://www.snakeyes.org/docs/files/fx.txt (more informaticon could be retrieved via ZSNES/Snes9x emulators source code) User:faragon 22:27, Dec 22, 2006 (UTC+1)
[edit] Firefox being pseudo-3D?
I wouldn't call Firefox being Pseudo-3D. Pseudo-3D games are those classic racing games like Hang-On, Outrun or shooters like Space Harrier, which move 2D sprites in the depth of field, scaling them, and giving you the feeling of 3D. --Abdull 12:46, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
- Who ever said that firefox is Pseudo-3D? You must mean Star Fox.? --Snargle 14:07, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Super FX & Super FX 2 games lists (again)
Most online sources are completely wrong concerning what games included the Super FX or the FX 2. Stunt Race FX is not a Super FX 2 game. This is not advertising, but "Snes Central" contains cartridge PCB scans and descriptor tables of the more popular games. Pictures by 'Phonymike' especially have been used by the development team of ZSNES to definitively sort out which game has what FX chip.
Also, Street Fighter Alpha 2 is NOT AN FX GAME. Neither is Donkey Kong Country (1,2,3) as many online articles suggest. Street Fighter Alpha contains an S-DD1 chip, DKC just all have a large rom size (32 mbits) and used pre-rendered graphics with heavy conventional data compression.

[edit] FX2 vs. FX²
If I remember correctly I've seen the name as Super FX² when it was advertised. Could someone confirm or disprove that? --32X 13:08, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mario RPG
Isn't Mario RPG a Super FX game? I distinctly remember the game having the signature 2 extra connectors on the bottom, but I don't remember if the game was billed as a Super FX game in it's advertising campaign.
- Mario RPG has a Nintendo SA-1 chip. No superfx here. --Snarius
[edit] Remove Super FX 2 and Super FX distinction in games list
I'm suggesting that to end the dispute about what is and is not categorized as having an FX or FX2, to just have a single games list. If we say that the chips act the same internally, and given the information that a software bit switches from dividing the input clock by two or not, it is possible that a later production run of a particular FX1 game could have used an FX2? It's easier to prove that a game had an FX (box or instruction manual), than prove what FX version it had. Whicker 04:37, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
I guess unless we can find a source that can really outline what used what then that probably is the best solution. Wait a couple days and see if anyone else has an opinion on it tho.--Iamstillhiro1112 14:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm always opposed to making thongs more ambiguous. I propose finding a reference for each game entry. --Snarius 21:44, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Star Fox 2 (may have become Star Fox Command)
I would love to see some citation on this, because it seems pretty unlikely. –Justin Force 17:19, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
