So after we've save a game (while playing), when we're ready to quit, we have to save the SRAM manually?
Yeah ie. while playing Link to the Past hit in-game "Save and Quit" and then save to SRAM as per protocol outlined above before shutting down

Sounds similar to Nt Mini, and as someone who lost a decent chunk of progress on Nt Mini because of this I cannot emphasize enough about familiarizing yourself with the nuances around when the system actually does and does not save before considering doing any serious game progress sessions. Seriously, spend a good chunk of time experimenting with it, you have been warned! Not to mention more testing to confirm the corruption stuff has been fixed.
Basically, this update looks pretty solid overall, but I wouldn't sit down and do a 30 hour session in random RPG just yet. Take your time and put it through the paces.

Gotcha. Save in game, then save in menu.
Have we heard if this will be automated at any point?
So they got rid of the old advertised behavior? I thought the save dialog was just an extra, explicit step that was added for peace of mind. It no longer saves just by entering the menu?
Now when you exit to the file browser you'll get a popup dialog that asks whether you want to save (assuming the rom supports saves). It's kind of weird that it asks (b/c why wouldn't you want it?) but at least it acts as a confirmation that the is going to happen.
Nice!! A black one, was it?
SD2SNES regularly checks if the save data has changed and automatically saves in "real time". Only MSU-1 games require you to go back to the menu.So then unlike an emulator, this will likely always require an extra step from us to "save a save".
I know the PowerPak is like this too but, how about the SD2SNES?
I'm only getting a prompt the first time I enter the menu after booting a game. Do we really have to restart the console every time after we save to get the prompt back?

Try clicking on "See status" at the bottom of your original order confirmation email to see if there's a DHL tracking number. It's possible it already shipped even if you didn't get a shipping email.Still no update email. Ordered my unit the 6th of February. It's weird since some other people from Europe ordered the 13th and already got theirs...

Which version did you order? The black ones seem to be the fastest at the moment.

I like 1462x1200 (5x, 4:3 for 16:9), no scanlines, vertical interpolation disabled, horizontal interpolation enabled. It does crop off a bit of the top and bottom, but it's stuff that's outside of the "title-safe" area, comparable to CRT overscan, so you're generally not losing anything of value, and the integer scale means you can turn off vertical interpolation. Plus, in case you do decide to turn on scanlines at some point, they will look decent at that resolution.
Nice to see a new jailbreak firmware release, but I think I'll stick with the official firmware until the jailbreak firmware adds something that I need access to. My SD2SNES still allows me to play more games than I can play from an SD card using the jailbreak firmware. I wonder if the jailbreak firmware will get any new minor features or if the main difference will be the jailbreak firmware getting additional cores.
I was happy to see it cleared customs during the night. Hoping it can make it here today instead of tomorrow. Latest update:My unit is in Ontario. Still on track for tomorrow but kind of hoping it goes out today.
Black unit ordered Feb 15.
Always bet on black.

Why wait?I'm waiting for jailbreak firmware that'll let me rip my carts to SD card, then I'm in for JB.
Because I don't need save to SD support if I'm playing off my carts at the moment, are there any other benefits yet?
Didn't you order last Wednesday?Mine is here, black, it looks amazing! Can't wait to fire it up!
I think I'm misunderstanding your reason. You're waiting to be able to rip cart to sd card. Why rip cart to sd card?Because I don't need save to SD support if I'm playing off my carts at the moment, are there any other benefits yet?

Just for anyone who is going to be using rom saves exclusively:
When opening the file menu to save (select+down), you will find the save dialogue. Now that you have the file browser open do not ever press B to back out of the menu. If you do this the save dialogue will not reappear upon reopening the menu
Instead always use select or start to exit the menu (to go back to game, or enter the root menu, respectively.) In doing so the save dialogue will appear every time you enter the menu again (select+down)
I have learned this through much trial and error. If you back out of the menu with B it appears impossible (to me) to save your current game. I have yet to figure out a way to do it

Mine too. Ours must be travel buddies. :P
Help ERA.
I just went ahead and bought Turn & Burn: No-Fly Zone CIB (missing the white warnings insert, but comes with manual/cart/housing/box) for $15.99 w/ free shipping. A-Am I starting to go down that rabbit hole? I haven't even gotten my Super NT yet!
So, like the proper numpty I am I don't have the correct power adapter for the USB cable... but from what Analogue say in various places, you need a 5V plug for it - I have a few of these around the house from over the years of upgrading phones, would this be okay to use, its 5V 1A?

So you're UK-based I take it... (Sumo Digital. :D) Yeah, you can just use an socket-adapter as the voltage rating is 100~240, if you have one.
But, according to Analogue's site, https://support.analogue.co/hc/en-us/article_attachments/360000837292/Super_Nt_User_Guide_v1.1.pdf , it says you need a 5V 2a plug.
If it is the right one, it will work as it says 5V 2.5a. I don't know what your set-up is but, I have mine plugged into a spare USB plug on the PC. Easier than a wall socket.Actually this looks more like the correct spec - https://thepihut.com/products/offic...=589b7ed415c9bd6e1e77a4ff6f5daae8&fo_s=gplauk

AFAIK, that .1 over shouldn't mean anything in the long run (I have a PCE Duo that I ran in the states without a converter for 15+ years, and now it's back in Japan and still works fine).Actually this looks more like the correct spec - https://thepihut.com/products/offic...=589b7ed415c9bd6e1e77a4ff6f5daae8&fo_s=gplauk
Yes, UK - does the Pi one linked above fit the bill? It's a little over seems :/
I have a few usb plugs 5v but preferred to use the one analogue provided in the box, so I plugged it to a travel adapter like this one. works perfect. UK bods and 3 pin users :)
