Ah! Thanks for that!! I saw it before, but couldn't find it anymore.
Don't just copy the url of the post number, it fucks it up for people not using the same posts per page as you. To get correct links that will work for everyone actually click on the post number and copy the url in the pop up. For example, these are the universal links to the two posts you linked to.1462x1200, Disable V Interpolation (H interpolation on), is the most accurate you can get when it comes to aspect ratio at 1080p, and looks sharp to me from a couch distance (as an ardent int scaling only type)
You can read the long winded explanation of it all if curious. The short of it is 4:3 and 8:7 are both sort of wrong when scaling the SNES so it makes the math tricky.

You can see an example of this here. The only thing I have seen draw in the danger zone or even the action safe zone is weirdo homebrew or utility stuff like the 240p tool.

Made through the adopt a poster thing. And, yeah, kind of sucks to not have someone who is actually active in here in charge of the OP.
We could probably switch to an OT at this point? If someone feels like putting it together. I have too many commitments in the next few days myself and will be out of town.
also..
I realize the heavyweights are what are used for speedruns/world records, but anyone know of any sort of leader board I can check against my top score using Mario in Ghost Valley 1? Goddamn I played that level a lot. I'm sure I was no where near TAS perfect or anything, but I had it down crazy tight as far as my youth brain could comprehend it all.
edit: I don't think anyone tracks per character. Dang. I'll never know if I coulda been the champ.

thanks buddy i will give this a shot and poke around the tv settings some more..Check the picture zoom/format settings on your TV seems the picture might be zoomed in a bit? There might also be an overscan setting somewhere. Will dig further if you are not able to find it. You're wanting full pixel, or whatever Sony might call it, not familiar with their settings offhand.
(Ignore the colors)
Would it be possible to make an actual Super Nt OT or has that ship sailed? I would have no problem taking up this mantle if it's ok.
Maybe contact a Mod to close this thread when you have done your OT. I don't think it would be a problem.
Okay. Because of my work schedule I may not be able to do this right away (this weekend at the latest, I want to take my time with it) so if someone else is able to put together an OT before then please feel free to do so but otherwise I will get working on this ASAP.

Yeah, this: https://mkwrs.com/smk/ was the only thing I could find, but it doesn't break it down by character. You may have been pretty close though!

I'll go ahead and work on an OT. I have a bit of time tomorrow to do so. I think things like controller suggestions, video settings, firmware links, and so on.
If anyone has any suggestions, please lemme know~ :)
Well i tried switching to full pixel, made it slighty better but still image is cropped off at the top. Im using the correct offsets too as posted.
Thanks!
Now to figure out my NES solution. Those Nt Mini dont ever seem to be coming back, and it's hard to find them resold.
The AVS looks interesting, but I don't think it has SD Card support, let alone I just plain love Analogue Co's design aesthetics much more than the actual NES/AVS look.
Maybe the Super NT's jailbroken firmware will get NES/Famicom/FDS support?
That would be great.
It might be an idea to float some hidden gems that can be picked up for reasonable prices - although that's probably a lot of work in and of itself.
So...I am still seriously considering gettingRetro-bit's officially licensed R-Type Returns(Super R-Type/R-Type 3 rerelease on cartridge). Does anybody have a history with Retro-bit?
Are you on the latest firmware? I recall someone mentioning having some overscan issues that the latest firmware fixed. Might be the same here?
I keep a couple of notes in a small file, mostly on video setting. If it helps, I'm glad to share.
Are you doing it to collect the limited numbered cart, etc., or for the games? If investing, like making money later down, I doubt that's going to do well over time.
Between YouTube personalities and random internet articles, their aren't really many "hidden gems" left these days. I've seen plenty of games get highlighted, only to double or triple in price over the next year. There are still plenty of great titles in the $10-20 and $20-30 range, though.
"Arrived at sorting facility" 20 minutes from my house. The suspense is killing me. Did it clear customs? Will it arrive today?
EDIT: aha, somehow missed this. I think this is what you are after. Set Format to Full, and then you should be able to set to Full Pixel, maybe in another setting, look for Display Area somewhere?
Looking at Sony's site, I think they might jumble some settings together for various TVs?
http://helpguide.sony.net/gbmig/C5161001/v1/eng/c_picscrn_size.html
I think you might want one of these, depending on what settings you have.
[Screen Format]/[Wide Mode]*
[Full]: Enlarges the picture horizontally to fill the screen when the input signal is 4:3. When the input signal is 16:9 (High-definition source), select this option to display the 16:9 picture in its original size.
Or cycle between these, I would think it is Normal or maybe Full 1
[Screen Format]/[Wide Mode]*
[Normal]: Displays the original picture.
[Full 1]: Enlarges the picture to fill the display area maintaining the original picture.
[Full 2]: Enlarges the picture to fill the display area.
[Full 1]: Enlarges the picture to fill the display area maintaining the original picture.
[Full 2]: Enlarges the picture to fill the display area.
Looks like there might also be an auto-detect option? Could try that as the latest firmware should be reporting out accurately now.
[Auto Format]/[Auto Wide]*
* Option name differs depending on your region/country.
Automatically changes [Screen Format]/[Wide Mode] to match the input signal.

Could someone try TMNT Turtles in Time?
Using 5x integer scaling (1200), I do see a cutoff at the top.
BUT Mario Kart looks fine, not what was reported a couple pages back.
Would this be an example of the 40 pixel loss that was mentioned?
I'm on my way home and can't do any testing for the next two or three hours. If nobody steps in until then, I'll give it a try.
^^ yep, that is definitely an example of Konami not respecting the screen bounds. Only option there if you really want to see the top of the UI (I can understand it being annoying) is to go with 4x or 4.5x.
4x (1170x960)
4.5x (1316x1080 and you'll need to turn on vertical interpolation)
4x (1170x960)
4.5x (1316x1080 and you'll need to turn on vertical interpolation)
True, though that does cut off their feet when at the bottom of the screen. Not exactly valuable gameplay info, but I suppose it is a pick your poison situation.

Or change the vertical position to move the screen down since there's nothing of importance lost at the bottom when you do so in that game.
Yeah not a big deal I guess, was more concerned if my screen is displaying accurately. Thanks for the feedback!
I tried quite a few games using 1200 and this is the only one I noticed that was off.
The, I would definitely say it is a waste of money. I mean, you can just play them on the j/b firmware.
Sorry for the confusion guys :(
English isn't my native language and I suck at tech related stuff.
The only thing I wanted to ask if saving roms is possible. So if I save the progress of A link to the past ROM ( via select + down ) will I be able to continue next time I fire the ROM up?
Can't say I'm super interested in jailbreaking my device. I have a Pi for those kinds of shenanigans ;)
According to most of the people who've tried it, saving games via SD card with the jailbreak firmware seems to work pretty reliably. I don't believe there have been any complaints of corrupted saves in the newest version. However, you still have to manually save your game through the Super NT menu, and there's apparently no way of accessing the save screen if you accidentally back out of the save screen to access other parts of the menu. As such, if you back out of the save screen, then you'l be unable to save progress in your game to the SD card until you turn off the Super NT and turn it back on, since you won't be able to access the save menu.
EDIT: To further clarify, this feature isn't a save state feature. You have to use whatever save system exists within the game, then use the Super NT save menu to actually save that progress.
With that cart from castlemania, you're basically playing the roms anyway. I dunno, if you're collecting not the stuff that comes with the purchase, then I don't see a reason to get it beyond "feeling" like you're playing a cart.

Can't say I understand that logic. If you use a Pi then it's clearly not a moral/ethical objection. And the "jailbreak" is almost certainly from the same person who wrote the official firmware. It's simply an unofficial firmware that adds extra functionality.
Hmm, I was rather keen on "owning" the actual games themselves instead of just some ROM dumps though. It's the same reason why I got Turn & Burn No Fly Zone CIB and Secret of Evermore in the first place.
Yeah. I will be buying some of the games I really want but at least I don't have to jump through hoops at the ridiculous asking prices and just wait around for good deals. Playing them off carts is half the fun of having this system.
So are you saying the R-Type Returns collection will drop in price eventually?
Right now R-Type 3 sells for around $200, and that's without box.
As much as I'd be able to SD2SNES something like this, I feel its still kinda "cheeting" to do so. $59.99 doesn't look so bad when up against $200, but then again it's $59.99...
I am not sure what will happen with that collection. I don't see it being a collector's item but I doubt the printing of it is that large. I think you should just jump on it if you really want it. Don't worry about getting a copy of R-Type 3 unless you are really big on having it as part of your collection.

They require a signature. They did for mine.
You can request that it be dropped off at one of their drop off locations but it might take an extra day or two.
Well, if you had said owning was the intent, and not playing, I would say go for it. I have to get the official carts or else it'll always be in the back of my mind that I'm playing a repro lol.
Guys, any good settings for a 4K tv? I own a Samsung KS7000 ( US KS8000 ). I prefer the softer 720p look with scanlines. Watched the vid ( Super NT My life in gaming with Kevtris ) but haven't got a clue. I keep messing up.
Thanks in advance :)
