Yeah, if I *were* a developer ... =)
About the only thing that the Arcade Card gives you is additional
storage capability for a "level" -- whereas the SGx has the additional
hardware for better on screen display.
If you discount the "Load from CD" time, then there is no contest,
the SGx is definitely the more powerful beast, and considering that
the SGx can (in theory) run CD games), it would be my choice.
However, both the Arcade and SGx market are so small compared to the
Super CD market, that it is really not worth developing any large
scale project for. Sure, the demos are neat, but the extra time
required for an Arcade Card effort, or a Super Grafx effort could be
enjoyed by so few people, that in my opinion, it would not be worth
the effort.
