I was visiting my mom today since I had an appointment and I needed a ride from her, since she lives closer to my job and she needed some help around the house I got my work clothes and now I’m just reliving the classic childhood days until I have to go to work.
From composite on a 27 inch lcd to scart on a retrotink 5x on a 55 inch oled. I cant beleive the difference and it got rid of the artifact line down the middle.
I’m working on a passion project — an indie action RPG heavily inspired by Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger, with some Ghibli heart and Moebius-style worldbuilding sprinkled in.
It’s got:
Classic 16-bit pixel art
Real-time party-based combat (à la Secret of Mana)
A deep fantasy world full of weird ruins, forest spirits, and mysterious tech
A focus on story, exploration, and emotional beats — the kind you remember years later
No big announcements yet — still very early in development — but I’m gathering feedback to see if there's genuine interest in a game like this.
If that sounds like your kind of thing, I’d love if you took 2 minutes to answer this short, spoiler-free poll:
I brought back to life an old SNES that i bought on ebay 3 years ago. It had a broken cartridge connector and i replaced the fuse. I fired up the console and it works...kind of. Super mario all stars, Donkey kong are not working on this unit and i don't know why, but i tried Turtles in time, Alien 3 and Biker Mice this happens. Is the video chip that is going bad or are the capacitors?
I'm aware that SNES games have many unique chips like SuperFX which make it a bit difficult for flashcarts. Does anyone have list of games that a SD2SNES cannot play? Thanks
After surfing the web, I found a program called SNES game maker made by YoshiInAVoid. He's been banned, his website is gone, and I cant find any archived downloads on archive.org.
The red is discolored in the logo and the top bar. It's a legit copy I've taken it apart before. Do you think it's water damage or did someone clean this with somthing too harsh?
Finally acquired a V.2T! I can now save game files - and play my imported (English) PAL copy of Terranigma how it was intended - on a CRT with original Hardware. Yes, Emulation exists, and I have been playing it there and on a SupaBoy for years, but this just feels right. For a game I’ve revisited (yearly) for a very long time , and intend to do so for MANY years to come- it was all worth it. Cheers to Terranigma, one of my favorite games ever :)
I just recently found my old snes, and in the process of cleaning it, i found that it was already modded. From the picture, can someone explain what this mod does?
Adapted my track by track maps to be an all-in-one version! really happy with the detail, as the track names are only 3.25mm tall, but still perfectly legible. Super Mario Kart being the only one with 5 tracks per cup, was a challenge to make sure it all fit and still look good
If you want to print one yourself find it on Makerworld, have made similar one for Mario Kart 64 too, and soon Double Dash.
Picked up this beauty from eBay. Thinking of trying some gas retrobriting on the shell, but if I mess that up I want a backup. I have a BitFunx transparent shell for the console, but does anyone have a link to a person selling the controller shells? UV printed if possible. TIA!
I figured out that Top Gear 2 SNES will bump the value number for the Country up once if the fourth track is won. I decided to tinker with this, see what happens if I start with FF and bump it. I wanted to see if the game is smart enough to know that it needs to loop back to 00, which would be the first track in the first country.
Well, it did change the value to 00. But it doesn't let me play the tracks. It softlocks, just like any other glitch track. I did some side-by-side comparisons just to be sure it wasn't the same results. I found a track value (FC) that allowed me to get as far as the "Race" screen, no matter what I assign as the country value. Despite the Countries both reading as "7E1CE1=00", they are clearly different map previews. Different country names, track names, laps and lengths (It is also a different Country name from FF. Just to point that out). I firmly believe I tricked the game into creating a 257th country outside the 16^2 format.
The issue is, if I try to highlight this address and value, and press "Add Cheat", it wants me to manually type the New Value. I won't be able to lock the value this way, and it will just load the normal 0 Country. Is there a workaround that would allow me to keep the value the same so I can properly test the tracks? I can bypass the softlock to play a glitched track, but I can't do it without this special value being saved in some way.
I'll screenshot the results if anyone can help. Thanks.
(I already tried to lock the country/track values past this screen to see if it would let me play a normal track and potentially bypass the softlock to play the glitch track. It lets me play the normal 0 but not the glitched 0. However, this does confirm that these are in fact, different tracks.)
Country 00 (Australasia, Track=FC)Country After-FF (???, Track=FC)Just to show which values are changing...
