SNES Classic Revealed

[breakmanexe]

Well, I know what I'm doing after work.

[Hesch]

I remoted into my home PC, installed the updated Hakchi and started loading up Roms into it already. Been working on getting some translated Japanese games setup now.

When I get home, all I'll have to do is plug it in and update it

[amace04]

downloading and attempting now.

*Update*

Finished.  It's really simple, and I made a youtube video outlining how to do it.  Seriously though, it's super easy.

Nice and easy it seems.

And pressing reset brings you to main menu on purpose.
If you press down on the control pad after pressing the reset you can rewind the game or use save states.

Yep, super simple.

And I assumed it was on purpose, definitely a handy feature.  I never had a NES classic, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. 

After a very short period of time playing around with it, I'm impressed.  After modding it to take ROMS (and you can even have it run Genesis/SMS roms too), I far prefer this to a Pi & Emulator.  The Hakchi2 app is great, as it factors in the small details, such as number of players, release date, publisher, etc.

I tried to IPS patch some fan translations for some Japanese roms, but none of them will load on the Classic. Well, the newly released FF5 translation loads fine...DQ 1&2, 3 and 5, Star Ocean, and Ys 3 and 4 won't load at all

Wonder what's going on

I finally got a hold of one! GameStop's restocks were today and I was able to snag one before anyone else got there. After missing out on the NES Classic I'm beyond excited to have this thing!

Did you install the Retroarch emulation cores? The stock emulator won't play lots of games for various reasons. People are looking into workarounds, but currently one of the best workarounds is to use Retroarch for everything that doesn't run on stock.

I assume the classic is looking for unheadered ROMs?  If so, it's worth checking to make sure that your patched ROMs do not contain a header.

[Hesch]

I checked that last night. I know the patched FF5 rom is unheadered, and it works. I went through and looked, and some of the roms, post patch, were headered. But ALL were unheadered before patching. I realized today well after the fact that I never double checked to see which were headered after patching. Man it feels weird typing headered so many times.

Headered.

I love how the scalpers are getting burned over this.

[Arseen]

Anyone looking for an American one of these? I ended up purchasing a second one, as I just couldn't let it end up in the hands of a scalper. It was 79.99, plus 7% Florida sales tax. Brand new, never opened. $85.59 USD plus actual shipping cost to wherever you are.

I could use one for my collection.
How much postage to Finland.

I would love to trade my NTSC for a PAL version =P

I would love to trade my NTSC for a PAL version =P

Official price of PAL version here in Finland double of US version in US...
But on ebay they seem to be more reasonably priced.

Like this 100 Euros+ postage

Back when the NES was first super hard to find, and they hadn't yet announced the "last day, one more time release", I got a Famicom Classic on ebay for only $70 with free shipping. Maybe a Super Famicom Classic will be our best bet for both of us to swap our US versions this time, Shoot?
