Bought a Snes mini

2nd hand for $85 it has no box though. but very condition.

Gave $15 for the Wii Controller Pro from another 2nd hand really good condition.

There was also another classic available in good condition for $120 it had the box aswell but i felt it was a bit too much price difference just for the box, the owner was only willing to go down $7 otherwise i would have preferred to have the boxed one.

Where can I buy an authentic unopened SNES classic mini?

Where can I buy an authentic unopened SNES mini?

There are so many fakes out there...is there any legitimate way to purchase an unopened SNES classic mini for the US market? I understand if it costs 300% more than MSRP...I just want the real deal.

Thanks for your help!

Is a 2nd hand worth $100

Should i buy one of these ? Is it easy to use roms with and can I use a dual shock 4/8bitdo or even GameCube controllers easily with this without need to hack ?

What SNES core(s) do you use when Canoe doesn't work or has problems?

I am only using the Classic as a SNES emulator and I amcurrently using Snes9x xtreme when Canoe fails, but I just ran into some audio performance issues on a game. So instead of me trying every core combination for games, do you guys have a go to method of selecting cores that works for you?

Cutscene not working

Just found a SNES Classic for a reasonable price and modded it up and added The Star Trek DS9 SNES game. The cutscenes don't work, instead playing a blue screen before moving to gameplay. Which works fine as far as I can tell. I've also noticed sprite flickering on a few games.

Running hakchi, any ideas?

"Shutting Down..." after powering on

I'm hoping so much that someone can assist me with this issue.

My SNES has been modded with hakchi, but I don't believe that is the underlying issue with this SNES mini. I'd previously been unable to get it to turn on and show anything on a screen. The red light would be on for a short bit and then shut off.

I then ordered another official SNES mini wall outlet since I lost mine. I combined this with an 8bitdo cable, and lo and behold I get a screen that states "Shutting Down..." It was an interesting clue. I researched and found many people claiming that it was a low power issue, but that's odd considering I'm using the wall outlet that has the Nintendo logo and everything.

It behaves the same way when I connect it to my PC in attempt to flash it back to factory settings in case it truly is hakchi making a mess of things.

I'm just hoping to get my SNES mini back since Nintendo stopped supporting it a couple of years ago. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Can’t back out to game select

I’ve got an unmodified first run mini. Was safely stored in my closet so I know it’s not been damaged but I can’t get it to back out of games using controller and have to hit the reset button. Maybe I’m not hitting the right button combo?

Hori super NES classic fighter controller.. customizable?

I wondered if the Hori fighter controller for snes classic can be configured (somehow) so the L/R shoulder buttons register as distinct button presses from the L/R face (so it becomes an 8 button controller)

I bought SNES-mini the first day they arrived al Wal-Mart at 2am. I modded it to add extra games as soon as I saw it could be done so I likely have one of the very first Mods released. Is there anything I am missing out on? What is the main difference between my "1st gen" mod and the latest ones?

...btw, I love it, & it works just fine, ...I'm just curious if it is worth my time to try and re-flash it. The old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" has been my biggest motivation in not ever looking into this since I first uploaded all of my own ROMs years ago.

Screen fuzzy on boot with no audio?

FIXED!!!

The hakchi boot screen always looks perfectly sharp, but in the actual menus and games, everything is fuzzy. The only audio I really hear is the first drum beat of the menu song, and after that, nothing.

Edit: fixed, it was a display problem. To anyone else with this problem, just switch the HDMI port.

SNES Mini having a hard time turning on

The past few days I've been playing and it had a hard time turning on. Like it'd turn on, but then turn off again. Then after I tried again it would work.

Now the red light comes on, but only for a few seconds, then goes out, and the game doesn't come up on the screen. I am using the original power cables that came with it (bought it new).

Any way to fix this or get Nintendo to repair it? I tried to set up a repair on the Nintendo website but couldn't figure out how. I put in the serial number but it just said the warranty status couldn't be determined.

MiniSNES - OBS audio question

Hey everybody,

I bought a cheap capture card to link my mini SNES to my laptop so I could record my playtime with OBS.
It's actually working pretty great if I don't output the audio on my laptop via OBS (video only) but the audio is being records with no issue in the recordings.
When I do output the audio there is quite a delay of +/- a second and it also seems scramble the audio in the recordings, as if it's being recorded twice.

Is there some way around this?
Like maybe using one software to stream the SNES (video and audio) and using OBS separately to make the recording?

Another Random Question, but if you mod a SNES mini, will all your data get erased?

I've just gotten really far in Earthbound and I don't want to start the game all over again.

Could Anyone Link Me A Place Where I Could Send My SNES Classic For Repairs?

I’m from Germany, and two years I ordered an American SNES Classic because the European ones couldn’t play Chrono Trigger on them. A couple months ago though, it stopped functioning properly, making random directional inputs almost the entire time, but because I live in Germany I can’t find a site where they fix the American version of the console. Can someone help?

Mega Man X3 Zero Project malfunctioning

Mega Man X3 has a mod called the Zero Project which makes the character Zero fully playable, redoes the order items are collected, and most importantly adds a save / load system via SRAM. The screen for it works perfectly on my PC running SNES9X. However, on the mini SNES, absolutely none of the versions of SNES9X render the save screen - they just black out and crash the console with the normal music in the background. Canoe doesn't boot at all. It's not a bad rom. Any help?

Weird video connector

Hey guys.

I came across a super minines unit that had controllers and wires but nothing else.

When trying to hook it up to a tv, I noticed that the AV out was something that looked like a jack audio output and a power input that is a USB B.

Can someone tell me what that AV connector is? It was not provided with the unit and I seem to find non information online about the wire I need to use the console.

I added a picture of the back.

Thanks

N64 controller & usb games on SNES

I found out today that I can also add N64 games to my snes and they will run well. My questions are..

How do I get a wired and wireless N64 remote to hook up to the console and will the console recognize the buttons if I'm playing an N64 game or do I have to play the game off retroarch and map the buttons.

I have completely filled my SNES mini with all the games I want perfectly spent forever getting everything right all games working etc.. If I just want to keep it the way it is without messing it up or over writing anything how do I just add a bunch of N64 games to USB and just use that.

How do I export a saved file from the SNESmini and use that file on RetroArch?

Hi yall!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to use my SNES mini for a while, but I have plans to keep playing Crono Trigger on RetroArch and I'm already fighting Magnus on the game, so I'm almost done with it.

My Windows 11 doesn't recognize my SNES mini when I plug it in, but I can use the Save State Manager to export the mini's saved states. Although, the Mini's saved files come in a different format (.clvs).

The game I'm working on is Crono Trigger. So, I opened the Chrono Trigger.clvs file with 7zip. and I extracted its file that is "Chrono Trigger" with no extension.
I extracted it and put it in a folder named Chrono Trigger Save. The content extracted from the Chrono Trigger file are:

  1. cartridge.sram
  2. cartridge.hash
  3. 3 folders: suspendpoint1, suspendpoint3, and suspendpoint4.

inside each suspendpoint folder are 2 files and one folder.
The files are; state.png, and state.time.
The folder is called rollback.

Inside the rollback folder there are 12 files; 0.break, 0.inputs, 1.break, 1.inputs, 2.break, 2. inputs, 3.break, 3.inputs, 4.break, 4.inputs, 5.break, and sram.hash

Can I rename the cartridge.sram to Crono Trigger.srm and paste it on the RetroArch saved files folder?
