Is there a way to add a splash screen to a Super Nintendo?

Currently, when you turn a Super Nintendo on (and many other old school video game consoles) it will not display any image until you insert a healthy cartridge, thus it's harder to identify if the console is connected correctly or if it is showing some sign of malfunction.

What i want to do is to add a splash image before loading the cartridge so you can identify that your snes is correctly connected, or does not have any video issue, or it is just waiting for your cartridge.

Does anyone has an idea on how to achieve this??

This likely is not possible. SNESs deliberate use of cartridges was a form of copy protection in itself. Each cartridge has a different set of internals. I.e. Starfox has 3d hardware that no other cartridge has so it was made differently, etc. You would likely have to manually modify each cartridge.

I would say, spend $40, and get a modern SNES.
