Crowd Control supports hardware for some systems and some games.
Support
If you have any questions or need help with this setup, please head over to our discord for additional support!
Not all SNES games are supported! The following are emulator only:
Kirby Super Stars
Super Mario RPG
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island
Recommended Hardware
Getting your flash card from the source helps support its creator, but any “PRO” SD2SNES or FX PAK with the USB port will do.

Firmware
Keeping up to date with firmware will help get the most of your flash card, and should have support for Crowd Control. We specifically need usb2snes support by RedGuy.
More info here: https://sd2snes.de/blog/archives/1261
When changing out firmware, make sure you backup old sd2snes folder!
Connect to Crowd Control
When you are finally ready to play with Crowd Control, we make the setup as seamless as possible. With the above firmware and hardware:
Connect your FXPAK to your PC and power on your SNES
Open up the Crowd Control desktop app and select your game.
Select the ROM you want to play with.
If everything is detected, you can press “Connect to FXPak” to load the ROM onto your system.
If it says “FXPak Not Ready”, check out Setup Tips & Troubleshooting
We will automatically apply any required game patches at this time.
Press Start Session and send a test effects!
Setup Tips & Troubleshooting
Use a known working cable.
Use a cable with a Up Angled Micro USB for FX Paks, like: https://www.startech.com/en-us/cables/usbaub2mu
A cheap USB hub will probably not work. Directly connect to your PC.
Our setup is not compatible with usb2snes. While that is running, Crowd Control will not work.
EVERDRIVE N8 PRO
Hardware support for NES will be back soon!
