Is this just a rom one downloads or is there something more complicated to patching previous ROMs?
I've never tried changing translations before.

Not sure what you mean by "performance," but the only benefit the mini has over the AVS is 1080p (which I don't use because I think 720p scales better) and core support (which is admittedly a nice addition, but not worth an extra $300 to me).
Latest AVS firmware also support H. Interpolation, which the mini physically can't. To me, the AVS is much more in line with the idea of the Super NT: a simple, relatively affordable system that looks a bit like the original system and plays games very well.
It's a patch you download and then apply to your rom file using e.g. LIPS. It's pretty easy as long as the rom file and the patch are unheadered which is the case for you.

Nah, way to easy. :) And then: Ted Woolsey Uncensored got his update to 2.0 fairly recently.

True, but I've already seen many sites have updated their 'prepatched' versions to the 2.0 patch. ;)

Sorry dude~ no sparring intended. ;)
LIPS + and ips file + a ROM is valid path but I know so many people that just want the short and easy way. :P
that feeling when your Super Gameboy finally arrives! :D
Then you realize you have no idea where your gameboy games are stored... :(

I still haven't gotten mine quite right yet. I need to take it apart again and swap the electrical tape for scotch tape and see if that helps.
I used scotch tape on my nes and super nes 8bitdo controllers and it has seemingly fixed the dpad issues completely for me. Proper placement of the tape helps a lot. It took me a few tries to get it right for me. Once it wasn't sensitive enough to properly make contact and I had to press harder. Then it wasn't enough to keep from diagonal mis-pressing. The third time was the charm lol.
Yeah. North America kind of has high prices for SNES.
You have to dig around at flea markets and Goodwills to get better deals.
I don't understand the draw of buying SFC RPGs, can someone explain? Unless you can speak/read Japanese what is the point? Games that are more action oriented I get, the language barrier isn't that big of a deal however, not being able to parse (without a lot of work) an RPG would ruin the experience for me.
I think you answered your own question. :)
That's basically it. Maybe and just maybe, someone purely wants to collect it.
Sounds good! Really, really feel like pulling the trigger and buying one of these. Just contemplating if I should buy some games first of all.

Sounds like a perfect reason. :D
Have you seen Yoshitaka Amano's The Sky? Might be right up your alley.

I'm a noob: do you still get the lag free SNES experience if you run games from an SD card or would you need the actual cartridge for that?
OP
OP
I can't tell any difference in lag whether from a cart or from the SD card.
(Though I've wondered if the SD card speed has much to do with that.)
The ROM gets copied in its entirety so the SD card speed is completely irrelevant except for how long it takes to copy it when launched.
In every way I can think you would measure lag it will give identical results.
We had any movement on the cores being implemented?
Alternatively what's the actual chances of a nt mini run in the future

None .... you sure about that statement ?
They clearly just said we don't have time at the moment, not never gonna Happen
That's my take on it. You asked. It's a guessing game. No one here is actually going to know first hand. You know as much as everyone else at this point. So, my take is none.
Nobody's sure about anything but until they say something we shouldn't hold our breath for more Nt minis.
I can see a easier to produce plastic shell model with just hdmi being the go to in the future, but I really hope someone manages to get a nes core functioning on the super
My guess is they would rather get the SNT up to feature parity (or as close as possible) as the nt mini and then produce and sell a shitload of SNT's, so my money is still on the cores coming. kevtris has gone pretty quiet on all efforts so either he is deep into getting the DAC working (which he has said he can't discuss at all so the radio silence makes sense), or they have already started on the next thing.
I hope the former, personally, but who knows. All we can do is wait for news.
On the Analogue channel on Discord Kevtris seemed to hint quite strongly cores were not happening on the Super NT.
That would really be disappointing. I know they were never promised, but the possibility is a significant part of why I bought it.
I don't see them doing it. They'll have to completely redesign the pcb, then a new shell.
If you watch the verge video interview you can see the nt In a plastic shell so I think the work is already done tbh
I can't see from a business sense then cutting off a potential source of revenue for no reason , if it is after the sega model even I can see them doing a small batch at least
As for cores , why isn't it possible another user can get the cores to run ?

That's for the NT Mini as it is now, but in a different shell. They'll have to redesign the PCB to only include the HDMI.
I mean, it's plausible, but Analogue themselves shot down the idea and stated "the Nt Mini is the final form of the Analogue Nt" back in October. Doesn't sound like they're going to pursue it.
OP
OP
That or they're going to release one with a plastic shell but call it something different to back up their statement.
That's reaching for the stars with a little too much hope on top.
How so ?
They literally said we can't atm as it takes to much man power ... why can't that change ?
The NT Mini, as it is now, has been said to be the final form. That form is what took so much man power to do it properly.
Have you ever at a retailer level comissioned a product ... I have several times
The Initial strife of product designs, testing , commercial release , adjustments
Getting quantities for future orders etc
Everything at the start is a nightmare
However once the molds are done
The systems are at there best
Everything is as it should be
There is no real man power needed, the issue solely becomes time management , delivering the product and commercially dealing with it as such
The self perpetuating re order systems only problem here is lack of cash injection or man power otherwise a company would not discountinue a product that has demand

They are a small outfit, and it took several months to sell out their last NT Mini stock. They aren't going there again.
Because Kevtris protects his cores (understandably), they're not an open source thing. The NT Mini or Super NT hasn't been hacked as well AFAIK.
