I've think you will regret not getting one the second they are completely sold out for ever :P
Just get one, and you'll end up only playing on it.

Analogue Super NT - orders and shipping(Now you're playing with SUPER POWER)

Have you updated the firmware on both? If so, it sounds silly, but I had to look up a youtube video for my SNES30. The amount of time you have to hold the button combos is significantly more than what was written.
I did and now it works, however I have to resync every time I power off the console.
If I just hold start, it will reconnect, but no buttons work. Have to disconnect and resync every time to get it to work. This is a super big pain in the ass.
This complaint bothers me because it has always looked frosted.
Even the controller looked frosted if you actually paid attention.
My Super NT has reached Canada!! Can't wait to fire it up tomorrow evening

Yeah, I went shopping also:Went shopping. Now to clean.
I don't have a problem. You have a problem. Shut up.

I posted a photo earlier. Looks nice.
Nice. Those are two of my favorite SNES games. Secret of Evermore is especially underrated.Yeah, I went shopping also:
Instead of shopping for an insanely expensive Super Mario RPG US cart, I'm going to try my hand at soldering a US ROM chip on to a cheap $5 Japanese SMRPG cart. Got a Yoshi's Island cart coming to me though.
I keep hearing people mention that Super Mario RPG is insanely expensive but it looks like it can be had between $40 and $50. That doesn't seem insanely expensive to me. I was expecting like $150 or $200.
Yeah, $50 is cheap. Think of it this way, 50 of today's dollars are worth only ~30 of 1996's dollars. SMRPG is a bargain!
I saw that they were charging $40 for the Secret of Mana remake and that made it real easy to pull the trigger on a $48 dollar loose copy in good shape.
It wasn't you, who outbid me on a US Yoshi cart yesterday was it? Haha
If my TV can power the NES and SNES Classic from the USB port it's safe to assume it'll be able to support the SuperNT as well, right?
This is an easy answer. Order one NOW before they're gone. Evaluate it after you get it, and if it's not for you sell it on eBay. It will almost certainly retain its full value, if not increase over the next few years. The NT Mini is gone (likely for good) and is now selling for over $1k. If you can afford $200 now, just pull the trigger.
One of my favorite games ever arrived today also. This thing is fucking nice. Such a good picture, and it is nice to be done with the XRGB mini.
Only downside so far is that my receiver will not take a signal from it. Figured it was an HDR issue, so turned it off, and nope, doesn't matter. Absolutely cannot get a signal to my Yamaha receiver. Not a big deal, but gonna have to run a cable to my TV. Kind of a pain.
lol no, I didn't feel like wasting time on an auction just to get sniped at the last second. I did "Buy It Now" for $29.50 w/ shipping included.
Nice Digi 002. I'm using its bigger, younger sibling at work right now, the S6. Sucks about your receiver not getting signal from the Super Nt, is it an old one? Like pre-HDMI 1.4? If not it could be some handshaking weirdness happening that could get fixed in an update.

For the amount of time and money you're going to invest in trying to make that repro, you might as well have just bought the US version. The SMRPG pcb is significantly more complex because of the SA1 chip. It doesn't even use standard 42pin maskroms.
It is an 003, not that there is much of a difference. You can get these things so fucking cheap these days, and they sound great for someone like me who just wants to record some acoustic guitars and vocals.
It is a pretty modern receiver. Yamaha RX-V481. Has whatever it takes to do HDR. I figured that was the issue as I have run into issues before with that. But, even turning HDR off in it, it is a no go. This is the first thing I have run into that I can't figure out why it won't handshake properly. But, whatever, plugged it into the TV and it works/looks fucking great. This thing is seriously awesome.
the plastic is far more clearer on their website than what it actually is.

But whatever, a minor issue that I didn't know triggered people. I like frosted.
Seems relatively straightforward according to this guide, just need to get a 29L3211 EEPROM for $3, have someone program the rom on to it, get a voltage regulator and follow these instructions...

Or wait for on the fly ips patching and play your sfc cart with the english script
I'm sure this will come down the road and if it doesn't well just use an ufo 8 (which is super cheap)
I don't see how on-the-fly IPS patching could work with the Super Nt, it's not like it loads the whole ROM into RAM or anything, like an emulator or one of the cheap clones. It's actively running the cartridge just like a real SNES would.
Also, I highly doubt the Super UFO 8 would work with a SA-1 cart.
The UFo-8 does on the fly patching and works with every special chip cart since it uses the one you plugged in to do it.
Say you can't play any SA-1 game just by using SMRPG but you can use the US rom with the SFC cart inserted
The someone part is the hard part. From personal experience, I had a hard time finding someone to burn the chips for me, and even when I did, I had to pay a service fee and shipping. Repro makers weren't keen on selling me a $5 rom burning service when they could just sell a repro itself for $~35. I ended up just buying my own equipment, which set me back about $150. Totally worth it though if you're looking for a new hobby (and no, unfortunately I don't have the adapter to burn that chip. Just EPROMS).
For most people, it's just not worth the headache.
Also, I highly recommend not trusting buyIC to burn your rom correctly. If you don't do it yourself, find someone who knows what they're doing. The last thing you want to do is to solder that thing up and find out the chip didn't burn correctly.
So, if I ordered Far East of Eden Zero, I could use my UFO to play it with the English patch?
looks beautiful!Mine just arrived in the UK. Can't wait to have a proper play.
I just got he message that mine arrived.
Too bad I won't be home for another 14 days to try it. Maybe the 8bitdo controller will have arrived by then.

Got mine. Don't worry everyone Looney Tunes B-Ball works fine. No need to cancel any preorders.
Far East of Eden 0 seems to be a special case as far as patching and playing it go. It's not your standard ips file I think
Dark1x Any idea what revision of Speedy Gonzales you used to confirm the button lock? Just played up to 6-1 on a rev 1 cart and got the soft lock on Super NT. I used a game genie so possible that is interfering, not clear, but it does not appear the Super NT handles it accurately. Took a video, and happy to exchange any more info necessary to help confirm.

The difference is supposedly less noticeable in 1080p, but in 720p it's supposed to help more. It's to avoid shimmering when the screen scrolls.
Yeah, I am running in 720p (on a 4K set with scanlines). Even standing still, it looks a little blurrier with it on. Doesn't look bad or anything, but when I turned it off, I thought it looked a bit sharper.
Ugg. I really don't need one of these (i've got a snes and crt still) but damn it i'm worried that if I don't buy one now, when I do want one it will be even more expensive. =(
I have a question to Any Canadian who got theirs already. How bad was UPS customs fees? It's the only thing holding me back from buying at the moment. For those not Canadian, UPS is horrible for hitting you with a $50+ broker fees on top of customs fee itself. =|

On 720 p it's best to disable V interpolation, but leave H interpolation on. You'll still get a softer image with scanlines, but not blurry and no shimmer effect. Looks great!
I think most (or all?) Canadian buyers will be receiving theirs over the next few days, so you probably won't get an answer to that until tomorrow at the earliest.
Yeah I'd do that for Mario Kart, but anything even slightly more text heavy than that I'd hate to deal with all the Japanese in it.
I always felt the renders on the website looked much more transparent than what they could realistically accomplish, so I'm not at all surprised the final product fell short. I'm not going to say the render wasn't misleading, but a simple look at other matte/textured transparent peripherals in existence should have really have raised more common sense skepticism upfront that the final product could really hit that level of transparency.the plastic is far more clearer on their website than what it actually is.
But whatever, a minor issue that I didn't know triggered people. I like frosted.
However, the render most definitely has darker "horizon" edges that also mislead that the units would use more of a 'smoky' color transparent plastic, not the hueless 'crystal' plastics the final unit ended up using.
I think people would be a bit more understanding of the target opacity not being hit if they at least used a hint of gray tint that at least delivered the darker edge refractions that the initial render conveyed. A smokier plastic's darker convergence points would almost certainly look much more elegant than the chintzy-lookin' stark white ones they ended up with.
Man. I have a Yamaha receiver — not the same model though. I previously had a Retron 5 hooked up to it that worked. Hopefully my Super NT will be fine.
My NES and SNES classic worked fine with it. My XRGB mini didn't like it if HDR was on, but if I turned it off, it was fine. Super NT just won't work with it as far as I can figure. Pretty weird. I'll mess with it some more late and see if I get anywhere.
OK, who's the intelligent individual responsible for making the back of the Super Turrican Director's Cut box upside down? lmaoooooo
