The Supercharger will work on some 7800's but definitely NOT all them, just as certain 7800's have compatibility problems with some 2600 carts. When you run the Supercharger on a 7800 it will be seen as a 2600 cart and the 7800 will be put into 7800 mode, so you can't use a supercharger to do 7800 development.
