i don't know much about this scene because I always turned a blind eye to emulators and things of that nature..

i have become interested in some fan-made carts lately, though. There is one game I would love to get on a cart, and I think the English patch exists but I can't find a cart for sale (or even mentioned) anywhere online.

remember, i know nothing about this... can that english patch be put on a SFC or SNES cart fairly easily by someone who knows what they are doing? (not me) if there are people out there who do that kind of thing I'd pay for it to be done

feel free to make fun of me

Yes, there are websites and sellers on eBay that sell various English translated cartridges of games such as Mega Man and Bass for SNES and Mother 3 for GBA. Try to avoid sellers from China, from personal experience and from reading other experiences people have had with them, the quality isn't the best. I'm sure you'd be able to find a US seller on eBay who sells what you want if you do some searching and if they don't have exactly what you're looking for, try shooting them a message to see if it could be done for you.

There's also an option, for Retron 5 owners, that allow you to load up English patches onto a SD card. This allows you to play a SFC game with an English translation on a Retron 5, and you can save money that way for those games.
