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

Cartridge audio levels only works for MSU1 and Super Gameboy. The -3db feature seems to work well for me.
The framemeister uses it's frame buffer and similar solution to the fully buffered mode on the super nt where every X amount of time a frame is dropped. So the framemeister is outputting a 60hz signal instead of the 60.09.
It adds 1 frame of lag, that's all. Yes 1 frame can hurt many NES games, but your tv probably adds more lag than the framemeister does. 16ms isn't a ton, specially when you have sets out there adding 50 - 100+ ms.
Right, the person I was quoting was talking about audio that comes from the cartridge, and those are the only things that have audio coming from the cartridge.
As for the -3dB cut, try using it with UN Squadron and turn your speakers back up to compensate. You will still hear the same amount of clipping.
With sync_mode set to auto (the default and highly recommended unless your TV isn't compatible) you can get 60.09hz from SNES/NES, and the correct refresh rate for every other console.
You are correct and my mistake, I suppose then the issue with the OSSC and the SNES is more about the inconsistent scanline timing.
If it's the jitter, the NES has the exact same jitter FWIW. You can even see it (and even on the NES; Kevtris said he may make an optional patch for the NES but reports are it breaks the Everdrive N8 compatibility).
Well, I did what you said and I have indeed been having much better luck. However, it's not perfect. After making this change, I've managed to hold onto my DQ5 and Emerald Dragon saves through all kinds of changes, however Glory of Heracles 3, DQ3, and DQ6 (JP version, not even with the weird janky patch) will still lose their saves randomly.
EDIT: Aaand now after switching to a bunch of other games and back to Emerald Dragon, that save is gone now.

I've always noticed that game is louder than others. Is that what clipping is?
The clipping is the distortion you hear when a lot of stuff is blowing up. I do like how the game sounds louder than most other often delicate sounding SNES games, but I also now see why those other games sound delicate and thin, it's because if you try to do what Capcom did in that game you will get lots of nasty sounding distortion.

So clipping is more or less when the dB meter jumps to the red zone when there's too much going on aurally, right?
Don't know if you're watching the SNES Mini thread or not but, is that also what's going on with Space Megaforce?

I haven't played Space Megaforce before so I'm not sure, but if its overall sound level is significantly louder than most games on the SNES a la UN Squadron, then probably.
I have the same issue with DQVI. I wasn't able to get the other DQ games running with patches either.
Yeah same thing happened to me unfortunately. THe save lasted longer but eventually went away. I think I'm gonna stop messing with it until a new version is released.
Don't get married to those wonky gamma and hybrid settings. They aren't great. I'm not using them.
Yes, that's what it's doing. SD2SNES actually loads the games into its RAM faster than the Super NT does. It's all fast though.
The NT has more RAM than is used in regular unjailbroken cartridge mode...

When you launch a game off of an SD card, you get a loading indicator (%) at the bottom right of the screen. I don't think it's ever taken longer than 3-5 seconds to load even a larger game. I assume that it's being loaded into RAM, but I don't know enough about how it works to say for sure.
Curious to those who have an SD2SNES...
How's the loading speed between Super Turrican on the console vs SD2SNES (or even via SD loading if you've JB'd it)?
I thought the load time for Super Turrican Dir.Cut was kinda slow so I'm hoping either SD2SNES or SD loading is faster.

The Super Turrican Dir.Cut is 50% larger than the regular Super Turrican so it wouldn't really be a fair comparison. Would be better to compare the loading time for the sequel.
Curious to try them on the SD2SNES. I assume they'll work fine. Wonder why patched ROMs are giving the CFW such troubles.
Glad to see this being looked into. I was hoping I was just being weird, but saturation looked a little off from the getgo to me, and got even worse with gamma correction. Using Cifaldi's recommended settings right now, and though I wish the scanlines were a little deeper, the color is better.
Yeah, the DF Retro video surprised me with the side-by-side comparison that clearly showed a difference in saturation while the commentary largely stated otherwise. I was playing Super Mario World earlier, and the yellow blocks just aren't nearly as yellow as they should be.
I guess I don't regret my preorder now. Thanks Era!
All this talk about MSU-1 made me think about how the SNES could've gone if the "Nintendo Playstation" actually had gone through. Would FMV playback be nearly as good as those MSU-1 games I kept seeing like in that Road Blaster game? Or is the MSU-1's capabilities merely just a product of its time, that is to say, higher speed transfer rates and much superior audio and video compression codecs that what we had back in the 90's?
Would games like Secret of Mana/Seiken Densetsu 3 get an enhancement?
To anyone having issues with saves on the jailbreak, Smokemonster is asking for help with diagnosis here:

It black screens after the Virgin logo screen sometimes but if you reload it you should eventually be able to get to the title screen. Might help if you mash buttons during the Virgin logo.
As promised earlier...
Here's the dialogue I had with Analogue in regards to the shipping charges. Take into account I am in South Carolina, USA.

So all in all, I'm glad they replied, however, they've pretty much ended my desire to be their customer. Unless they stop inflating their charges for shipping, I unfortunately will have to miss out on whatever else they release. Talking with the UPS corp store, the charges were either inflated on the logistics end for Analogue, or they chose options that increased the shipping and didn't give customers the option for those extra charges. So, they'll get to keep that $40 dollars for the inflated shipping charges, while losing out on several hundred dollars from my business. /shrugs

If a regular customer can get it at that same speed/rate for $17, and a corporate account (Analogue) can't get it cheaper for their customers for a large shipping request, not even taking in speed as a factor, that is something pretty fishy n messed up.
Yeah, if there's one issue with the Super NT it's how unbelievably expensive shipping was. I've paid less to have TVs and stereos shipped to my house. I get the reasons why, but it feels absolutely brutal on the wallet.
Bought a second hand controller from a seller in Amazon for £20, in "Very good" condition. Item arrives, it's all grimy, has massive dents in the cable and back, looks like a dog chewed it. Down on d-pad doesn't work, and left barely works.
Returned the item and ordered a brand new controller from Japan for £47. None of that grimy shit any more!

hope they are legit. At least their reviews are solid
I'm not sure I can bring myself to buy any of their products, out of principal, without an explanation as to why these shipping costs are so high.
Either they're pocketing some of that money (not that they'd ever admit it) or the logistics company they (may?) be using could account for this. They could also be pricing in their cost to ship from China to the US.

Thanks, I actually went a head and bought/pre-ordered one yesterday. I noticed for Canada it's now only giving DHL as a shipping option (or at least for me it did). As well I asked a friend who got one sent to japan and he said no customs value was listed so he didn't get hit with import fees. =)
Asking for better reporting is "acting salty and bitter" now? He helped Kevtris with this, it's not like he has a problem with the Super NT existing.
With usb polling boosted and on a gsync monitor it's great. Not much that can be done about basic OS lag.
Every game I've loaded with my SD2SNES has loaded instantly, but I also have a really fast SD card in mine.
Aww man, my Link's Awakening repro gives me a "No cart in the Super GameBoy Error", my Star Fox 2 repro gives a "This game can only be played with a regular controller" error, and my Tactics Ogre repro doesn't display the opening cutscene properly as half the lines are missing. :(
Maybe I should update the firmware and try again. :/

The latest firmware should fix the Star Fox 2 problem you're having.
I've been experimenting with the SD loading a bit (can't get it to save a game yet though).
What speed is your SD card for the SD2SNES?
Hmm seems Rendering Ranger has issues with the SuperNT. Any one knows if Analogue are aware of this? Thanks
Starting the game, unplugging the controller, and resetting the console got StarFox 2 running. I'm more concerned with Tactics Ogre though. I'm wondering if this is a problem with the Super NT or the repro, but I don't want to drag my SNES out to find out.
The whole reason the repros were the games I tested first is because my SNES carts are all organized in a drawer I can't open without moving my dresser first. XD
Are you on 4.1? That's supposed to fix that problem and not need to do the solution you described.
I'm at work so I'm going off memory but it's either an 80 MB/s or 90 MB/s card.
I don't know about the speed on my card, but yeah, everything loads instantly for me as well.
Tactics Ogre looks to be working fine for me off the SD2SNES:
I did notice a line of random pixels at the bottom of the title screen, no clue if that would be there on a real SNES. I need a new power supply for my legit SNES, my old one has gone dead, so I can't compare:
It definitely seems like the NT is not a big fan of repros from everything being posted here and in youtube videos I've seen. Wonder why that is.

I think it ran fine. They intro that plays after you let the title screen sit for a moment only showed like half the text though. It made no sense.
last night I was worried I somehow accidentally bought a bootleg copy of Super Mario All Stars when I started it up, selected Mario 3, and then this screen came up:
I tried resetting the cart into the system and booting back up and it gave me this screen right away. It turns out the contacts were just really dirty, so I hit it with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol and it worked as intended. Whew. I've been buying used games over the last 4 months in preparation for the SuperNT. Luckily, after cleaning them, they all work!
I will eventually install the jailbreak since I've more or less hit my limit on carts i'm willing to pay for (like, stuff that isn't outrageously priced). But overall I'm super happy with my system so far!
