What is your favorite cover art?

Going to replace the ugly sticker on the FXpack pro with the best sticker. The problem is, there are so many good ones! I'd like to hear some opinions. I'm leaning towards Metroid, Zelda, chrono trigger, rn. Maybe even the Japanese yoshis island. Really tough call.

So what’s with the decline in quality of the “Strike” games?

I recently picked up Desert Strike, Urban Strike, and Jungle Strike. Desert is great and the one I remember renting as a kid. But the two sequels are not very good. The controls and graphics seemed to take a noticeable step down. Do I need to push through to later levels for them to get better or are my impressions correct?

Tips on no power

So I was playing some Zombies ate my neighbors for Halloween and all of a sudden my SNES shut off and had no power. I thought it was the pico fuse but that had continuity surprisingly. I have some voltage regulators on order coming today to test that as a source of the issue. Any other tips to look for on a power issue for a snes?

I looked over the board but didn’t see any cap issues or visible issues on a first pass. I’m going to try to reflow the board and clean the whole board and the cartridge connector if the issue is not the voltage regulator as a general strategy but any other tips or tribal knowledge would be appreciated. This is my first time working on a snes and just want to play some childhood games! Love this sub btw!!

Looking for a game where you can add player 2 mid game.

I find that a lot of games you decide whether you are playing 1or 2 players at the loading screen.

However I remember there being some games where mid game someone with the second controller could press start and join the game at any point. I need help remembering what some of those games are!

SNES preferred (obviously) but if you know some for NES that could be helpful too.

My favorite YouTube channel. I've discovered so many SNES games that I wasn't aware of. Also brings back memories of games I forgot about.

Where to buy a SuperCIC?

Info: Looking to not spend a bomb, clones are fine if they exist (only used to HWFLY for the Switch when it comes to stuff like this), PAL SNES, 1CHIP.

People are free to trash this game as much as they like but it made me a fan of the series. When it came out, had no idea what FF was, had no idea what a chocobo was and most of all, never played a jrpg in my life. It also had a banger of a soundtrack and the visible damage on enemies was great.

1chip-02

Hi, I recently became the owner of a 3-chip SNES. Everything is great, but I got the opportunity to get the 1chip-02 version of the console. I have a few questions:

  1. Is gosting a real thing? My buddy is good with a soldering iron and can make the mods needed. I've read that a 470 nf SMD capacitor solves the problem, but causes glitching in some games. I have seen information that you can use 220 instead of 470 and it will solve both problems. Please advise on how to go about it.

  2. Is the brightness correction mod ( 750 Ohm resistors) suitable for the 1chip-02? Also I have seen information that the brightness problem can be solved with a certain video cable, is this true?

  3. I see that some people write that 1chip-02 requires Luma synchronization for RGB SCART. Is this really the case?

I will be very grateful for answers.

Help me getting a new PSU without spending almost 300 bucks

Trying this again. I live in Brazil. Importing a Triad PSU from different websites will run me 250-270 reais. I have that money but would rather not spend it.

Would someone please tell me if there even is a SNES PSU that's as good as the Triad that is sold in Brazil? I don't want to damage my console with the old original PSU or with a shitty off-off-off-brand one.

Trying to remember a baseball game

I don’t have too many details. The players names weren’t MLB players, there were like goals and achievements to go for, players could get “hot” or “cold”. That’s about all I got. Any help would be great

Looking for space shooter game

Cant remember the name of this game. Loved playing it as a child but I couldn't speak English yet so I truly can't remember the name.

You're in a tiny spaceship and you shoot bigger ships of course. There was a twist to it tho. You could shoot these blueish missiles at certain bigger mech/ships and then they would freeze and turn blue and you could effectively take them over.

If you took damage, the taken over mech/ship would lose effectiveness and eventually be destroyed after too many hits.

I've been searching and searching and can't find the name at all. If anyone knows, that would be awesome.
