"The Super A'can was a console released exclusively in Taiwan in 1995 by Funtech Entertainment. At first glance it appears to be a Super Nintendo clone with the case and controllers bearing a strong similarity to the US version, but inside is a Motorola 68000, similar to the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive or Neo Geo. Twelve games have been confirmed to exist for the system.

Although the A'can was a powerful console with the support of several of Taiwan's largest firms developing software for it, it ultimately failed on the market for a few reasons: its initial cost was too high for most interested parties to afford, and newer, more powerful systems with 3D technology were appearing on the market at the same time (such as the Sony PlayStation). Also, as the developers were pushed to finish their games as quickly as possible (and using a rather stubborn and poorly documented development kit to do so), the resulting A'can games were, by far, nothing special.

In fact, the A'can did so very poorly on the market during its short appearance there that it lost its company over USD$6M (6 million US dollars). In the end, the company destroyed all development and production materials related to the machine, and sold off the remaining systems to the United States as scrap parts." (Wikipedia)

What is No-Intro?
No-Intro is a project to create complete rom collections for various systems. It aims to provide roms which are accurate to their physical counterparts. This means no dups, hacks, or bad dumps. No-Intro collection are updated often to ensure that files are as accurate as possible. If you are an emulation junkie, these collections are a must.

Goodsets are the old standard for complete rom sets. The last goodset was updated over a year ago so many of them are missing games at this point. In addition, goodsets include a lot of bad dumps which are useless to most people. No-Intro sets contain only one good rom for each region and are packaged in individual zip archives allowing them to be played directly by most emulators. No-Intro sets are starting to take over where goodsets left off for this reason.

Normally the No-Intro collections are hard to all track down and when you do find some they are often incomplete and outdated. Well no more I say! I'm going to be uploading my No-Intro collections so that they are finally more freely available.
