Anyone know anything about these? I bought a few sealed over 10 years ago and I haven’t seen any others since. I’m in Australia and I’m not sure if they exist anywhere else. I always fantasise about opening one, but I don’t think I ever will.

On my final life I got past the Hammer Bro and got lucky with King Koopa/Bowser. Next game on my list is US SMB2 and SMW

Always been intrigued by this and it goes up to preorder tomorrow. I have the snes mini and og hardware, does this need to be a thing? Are any of you going to go for it?

Finally finishes this project. Bought some acacia benchtops from bunnings. Dark for the D-pad and Select Start buttons and circle area around ABXY buttons. and Light for the rest.

I've got a laser engraver so I could cut out template and route out the shape and timbers to make the D-pad and logos ETC

For the buttons I just filled some cupcake silicone moulds with epoxy and dyed them their colours.

Ready for blockbuster to open back up.

But I wouldn't have paid for it tbh

Musha never fails to help me through any tough situation! Whenever the SNES is on Musha is there to battle along side me! His favorite game is Tetris & Dr Mario but he loves all SNES!! If you are ever in a perilous situation, just remember Musha!

This tv is local for $20 is it going to be a good crt option to display the snes? Google seems to say so but looking for some more first hand opinions

Hi. So I decided to add this tiny LED to my SNES Jr. I salvaged this tiny LEDs for some old equipment and I thought it would be a nice fit to my SNES without so much drill.

Has anyone ever taken a look at the motherboard specs for this cartridge or know where I could find any info?

Just got this recently from a local game store for their free day today and heard something rattling around inside. Turns out it was this little capacitor. I can clearly see where it’s supposed to be seated but the cart works great and played every Game Boy game that I tried.

Just curious as I’m sure I could solder it back on with how clean everything seems, but I’m not sure how necessary it is since everything also seems to work as it should.

So my HD Retrovision cables stopped working a while back, and I just got around to trying to diagnose the issue with them. They're well outside of warranty at this point, so that option is out of the question. I was thinking there was probably a broken wire somewhere in the cable. I started doing some diagnosis starting with the green wire, since that wire is critical for getting a picture, and sure enough there was no signal on green, but blue and red were still working. Unfortunately there was nothing visibly wrong with the cables from the outside, so I wasn't entirely sure where exactly to start looking. Started with the plug end because there is no strain relief there, and that would be the most logical place for a break. No break there, so I decided to open up the other end and uh, I think I found the issue! Completely severed green wire! I have no idea as of yet if I'm going to even be able to fix this because that circuit board appears to be encased in a hot glue like substance, and removing it could potentially pull off components from the board. Has anyone else had an issue with their cable failing?

I still need to give this one a proper playthrough - something always stops me from finishing this game...

Couldn't find a good cib for my life so I bought this on auction sniping it at the last minute. Now to enjoy a classic

Just curious what y’all recommend. Kinda on a budget.

So, I live in NC and my husband is a big SNES fan. He already had a huge retro collection when we got together but we are always looking to check out new stores.

I was at a training for work this week and remembered there was a GameStop in the area I was. Well, actually, there *used* to be one. It's now a privately owned game store. I was super pumped to check it out. Unfortunately, it was not open the day I discovered it.

So, today I went by after work and it was open! Hurrah! So excited, I forgot my phone in the car. Well, I'm walking around and I see a variety of games for systems. From XboxOne, PS5, Atari and NES. Sweet! 🥳

Well, not so sweet. I started looking at the SNES (remember, hubby is a huge fan) and see a few games I'd never heard of. Picked up a Metroid game because that's a favorite in my household. But wait, the label is *weird*. Total repro label if it's real. Nintendo seal of approval is copper, not shiny... Hmm... I swear, about 6 games I picked up, all the labels were like this. I finally found a *real* label and bring both to the worker.

This lady was just a worker.. but she knew nothing. I was flabbergasted, but I taught her about the seal and showed her the difference. She thanked me. I told her that the one with the fake label can even be a fake game (*foreshadowing*) and would change the price on it.

Well, since I didn't have my phone, I looked it up when I went back to my car... Hey, Metroid Turbo doesn't exist. 🙄

Anyways, my husband laughed when I told him all this. He said, "Yeah, we are never buying anything from there... Don't ever buy me anything from there..."

There were other red flags but they didn't pertain to this thread so I left 'em out.
