I did it for the nostalgia - the SNES unit my brother bought had a Super UFO. Needless to say, many summer nights were spent loading up games from this copier's menu.
What I did was basically NOP out instructions that were causing infinite loops, these were most likely disk access checks. I was also having trouble getting the sound to work until I discovered a routine that for some reason was copying the sound init code to non-existant memory (probably on-board custom RAM)
Strangely enough the code wasn't exactly self-modifying and could have been called from ROM instead, which is what I did.
The patched ROM doesn't play music initially for some reason - I might have NOPped out a bit more than needed - but the music can be set through the menu.
As I said, this is a fairly useless hack. If you never owned the Super UFO you probably won't appreciate this.
You nostalgic nerds can download the patch and ROM here.
UPDATE:
Found the problem why it wasn't working on Snes9xTYL for the PSP. Looks like there was a difference in what value was returned when reading from an undefined port in the different emulator versions.

Can you actually play SNES ROMS on this?
Unfortunately, no. In order to do that the emulator should be able to emulate the custom hardware on the Super UFO, much like the Super FX chip is emulated for games like Megaman X2.
Megaman X2 doesn't use the Super FX.
It's using the C4 chip, which can also be found in Megaman X3.
