September 2017 Pickups

[wiggy]

Don't know if any of you folks have played the version that has been on the web forever, but IMO, the new ROM is weak when compared to it. The removed the lock-on feature, which makes the charges shot nearly useless, which in turn makes the characters who's shots charge faster (but are much weaker) pointless. Fucking lame.

Couldn't agree with you more wiggy. I couldnt begin to understand why Nintendo would think that was a good idea. I always say "for every good idea Nintendo has, a stupid one follows".

But give the hackers some time and I'm sure they'll find a way to get it back in there! And that's when I'll bother replacing my current Starfox 2 repro with a new one.

I'm happy to hear it's not just me. What a drag, eh?  The bootleg carts are better than what Nintendo finally dumped on us 20 years later. Ugh.

Didn't know they had box protector's for those.  Since the SNES box is the same size, I might have to grab two.

If anyone in the UK wants to trade for an NTSC version of the SNES Mini, I'm game =P.  Found another US one

I'm more used to the American SNES design, but I do love the Japanese design as well. I think if I was to get a Super Famicom shell and controllers with colored buttons (aka the same as the PAL design) I'd get the Japanese (October 5th release) over the PAL. Then I'd have the Japanese versions of Star Fox 2 and the others, plus Mystical Ninja, Super Soccer, Super SF2, Fire Emblem and Tetris Attack. But, I guess I'd settle for a PAL if nothing else.

I'd prefer the SFC as well. I have zero nostalgia for the EU SNES, versus the SFC, which I actually owned in 1990 and was the first import console that I owned.

Yeah they're great. I love being able to display them and not give a second thought to potential damage.

[ShoothimNow]

Ill take a picture of them both with protectors (I have 2x of the protector boxes).

As for EU SNES vs SFC... isn't it the same thing... just a different language / games?  which really doesnt matter, as they can be hacked?

[wiggy]

Well one says SFC and the other SNES, not to mention the packaging.

If it's a question of hacking, why buy any of them. You can play all these game on your phone, or pretty much any PC or modern game console via hacking.

I think the point is to have every variant.

Well you're more of a variant collector. I know for me, it's about having  not only 30~ games legally, but having a badass emulator box when I'm not feeling so legal.

Speaking of emulation... I wonder how many SNES Classic Minis it woud take to emulate all genuine SNES games (one version per game) and best rom hacks.

I don't quite understand what you mean. If the SNES mini is hacked the way the NES mini was, couldn't you put ALL the games on 1 console?

[marioxb]

There's only 512mb of flash memory, and my friend's NES Classic wouldn't take the entire US released library. There are ways to do it with compression though, which I'll have to try. MDFManiac I think his name is, on Reddit is pretty much an expert at that.

You understood correctly, but you overlooked one thing:
As there are quite many games and they are bigger than NES games is there enough memory to have all games in one console or do you need multiple.

[Arseen]

There's only like 300mb of flash memory, and my friend's NES Classic wouldn't take the entire US released library. There are ways to do it with compression though, which I'll have to try. MDFManiac I think his name is, on Reddit is pretty much an expert at that.

If this is the case, no way can you fit all games.
I wonder could the flash memory be upgraded.

[marioxb]

I made a mistake, it's actually 512MB, but that's not much better. There are still ways to do it though, as you can see here:
