The Prince of Persia conversion by Andreas Varga (Mr. SID) requires the 
EasyFlash cartridge. This uses Flash memory to provide a bigger capacity, and 
allows rapid access to the data. There have been many great titles converted to 
EasyFlash, cutting down 
multiloads and even improving old games (as was done with Speedball Duology and 
IK+ Ultimate)
