Changing the Games on a Radica SF2 unit

I went out a bought a Street Fighter 2 Radica unit. I wanted to know how I would be able to play Gunstar Heroes and SF2 on it, would I have to attach a cartridge slot?, or would I be able to somehow swap Goul's n Ghosts for Gunstar Heroes on the chip?
I beleive I've heard of someone attaching a floppy drive to their Genesis, would I be able to do that?

You will have to attatch the cart slot.

The built in games are in a ROM (Read Only Memory, silly, not warez). There is no way overwrite change the code burned into the chips with new games.

Also, if I did attach a cartridge slot would I still be able to play SF2?

There's 2 ways I can see that you can go about doing that.

1. add a DPST (a/b selector) switch between the ground leads so you can select to use the cart slot or the rom chip, or

2. Put the ROM chip in a cheap, common cart. I mean, if you follow the same pinouts, isn't it possible to put the chip in a cartridge? I don't see any reason for it to not work; just put it in a common one like Sonic 2, or a cheap, junky-game cart. All you need is a new label, and that can be made using Photoshop or The GiMP and some sticker stock in the printer.

Great idea, I'll do that.
