The real Supercharger games load 6k at a time, cause it's got 6k of RAM,
but other than that, there's no 6k games. Loading anything 8k or bigger
wouldn't fit in 'charger RAM, plus it'd have to support the right methods
of bankswitching.
There has been talk of a building a super-Supercharger, with something
like 64k of possibly persistent RAM and supporting all the popular
bankswitch methods, but it's all just been theoretical, so far at least.
