I don't know any easy commands to type, but I do know that the cartridge
Super Snapshot V5 has an option to interchange ports 1 and 2 so that any
software will think it is reading port 2 when you are actually using port
1.  I have no idea how it does it though.  It is a very powerful cartrige,
so it may not be worth the money (about $60) if that is all you are going
to use it for.
