Wore my SM t-shirt, got inspired!
It can play most games, even FX Chip games. But it can’t play Striker. A simple soccer game but a great one at that. Good job I’ve got the original copy. But is there anything I can do with the SD card or folders to get it to play?
Hello, i got a super everdrive china version and the first thing i did was load a new os and a rom on it. now i have read that you wil brick the cards when trying to update the os. Indeed mine does nothing. Are there any known fixes?
I have been waiting for a while for Voultar's Edge Enhancer for 2 chip SNES consoles and got a bit impatient. I discovered a similar product sold by RetroSix called the Edgebuster that claims to solve the same issue as Voultar's Edge Enhancer.
Unfortunately it has not been a good experience. Once you buy the Edgebuster it get's delivered to you with zero installation instructions. There are also zero installation instructions on the RetroSix website that is specific to the Edgebuster. I had to use discord and forums to cobble together enough information on how to fit it to my specific SNES revision.
Once I had it installed the Edgebuster does get rid of the blurred edges but with one major caveat being that it introduces a sort of shimmering across the image that is way more distracting and obvious than the blurred edges. I reached out to Luke at RetroSix for help with resolving this issue and I was told that it is because now that the edges are clean, it exposes sync issues the SNES has that were hidden before. This is not made clear anywhere on the RetroSix website that using the Edgebuster could expose a new issue. He suggested that I connect the CSYNC of the SNES to the Edgebuster as that MAY fix the issue. If that didn't fix the problem I should perhaps buy his other product the CleanRGB which might work. I asked for some more detail about where exactly I should be wiring the Edgebuster to CSYNC on the SNES motherboard rather than the explanation of the issue which doesn't help me to fix the problem and his response was and I quote "I don't need to do anything. This is free help and we get enough demands and abuse online as it is".
At that point I was done and am sending the Edgebuster back for a refund.
Avoid.
Hello, I know it's a little late, but I want to know if I can use a Japanese Super Game Boy on a USA Snes (American Super Nintendo), they are super cheap, and I want to get one. Thanks in advance, regards.

I have been researching and reading past post on this subreddit, as well. Does the Voultair still hold up against other options out there? Any advice would be awesome!
I've got a question about that perspective effect in Axelay:
What is that supposed to represent? I mean, it's a cool technical trick, but what situation in reality would ever result in such a visual view? Is this supposed to be an extreme fisheye perspective? Or is the planet suppsed to be the size of an asteroid, so that you literally see the curvature as you fly over the surface?
It's even more extreme in the game Spriggan Powered, a horizontally scrolling game, but the background still moves down vertically, so it looks like the entire world in the background is liquid and is currently flowing down a waterfall.
Can somebody help me figure out Joe to make my SNES not yellow and if not try to make it not get any worse thanks : )
It's a hidden gem on the SNES that mixes fast-paced racing with unique unicycles! The controls are tight, the gameplay is addictive, and it's a ton of fun. Never played Uniracers? Check it out on our site and give it a spin—highly recommend if you're looking for something different! 🏁
Whenever I turn it on the tv goes straight to a black screen and that goes for every game that I put in it. So can someone please give me some advice or ideas but any chance to get my Super Nintendo to work. 😀
Greetings everyone, first of all please excuse my poor English, but I do the best I can. I'm looking for a game that starts with a protagonist I think wearing a blue suit and using wind powers or something like that. I also remember that the first level was a kind of tower and we had to go up, it is a platform game in case you have any doubts. I hope you can help me with this, I will be very grateful.
You have 1 snes game for the whole year. The average pricing must be $50 or less. What would you pick?
Found this copy of Wing Commander in the wild during a trip to Montreal. It was on 20% discount for Black Friday sale as well.
I have no idea what I'm doing in the game but the dialogue and intro sequence is awesome. Looking forward to learning this one.
So thinking of selling all my SNES stuff (UK)
I love looking at it, but don't use it and just think I'm better off selling now whilst it still all works..
But I'm not in the scene, it's just stuff I've collected over the years and have no idea what it's worth. None of it is boxed at all, all carts are loose but all in very good to excellent condition and have always been kept in individual sealed bags. The consoles too are excellent, just some mily yellowing!

I used to swap and trade so many games when I was a kid, I’ve somehow got this instruction booklet of Desert Fighter. So also picked up the loose cart. It’s really quite a difficult game, like Desert Strike but you’re constantly moving forward.
Switching to your pistol is faster than reloading!
