Yeah, being able to "unofficially" load roms from an SD card is a great boon for Analogue systems, but the AVS is still a freaking great unit. The only concern I have with my launch-era unit is the usb port. I'm terrified I'm going to break it off one day. I've covered it with epoxy and think I'll do this mod too, because the mod's power port is totally secure. They've since made the usb port more secure though, with a bracket and through-holes I think.
Yeah I've used Deoxit before and it improves the issue but its a fundamental design flaw that I just don't like. The front loader NES design is not something I've ever been a fan of so seeing it replicated in an FPGA for the sake of nostalgia wasn't something that elicited cheers out of me.
It hasn't stopped me from spending hundreds of dollars on actual carts and the convenience of being able to play the games I own is too useful to not do it.
That's a damn shame. I really worry about mine, but at least they squared you away in the end.
Gotcha, thanks, and yeah from what I understood Kevtris is behind those as well, just 'unofficially'.
It's a real Clark Kent / Superman situation. The glasses are quite the ruse.
Yep. No special chips games work on the SNT jailbreak.
I didn't pick mine up until nearly a year after getting my SNT. Jailbreak will still do a lot. Indeed, no need to rush.
There are bug reports on the jailbreak github page for all of them except the Landstalker one.
I think it might be worth a shot reporting those bugs to Analogue proper anyways, even though they end up going to the same guy lol.
