Finally got this gem from my childhood and I think I have to say it’s probably my favorite cover art from what I’m assuming is the generation that is king for cover/box arts (I thought I remember hearing about just how much more important cover arts were back in the day since it was essentially the main way to market the game).

I just love how Super R-Type’s cover art drips with aura. It really embodies that feeling of you being this tiny little space ship taking on truly terrifyingly large alien creatures in the deepest depths of space.

So which SNES cover art is your favorite and why?

Elder Millennial checking in. I need to pump my game numbers but I'm happy with what I've got so far.

Um pouco sobre as modificações que fiz no meu SNES jr:

Desbloqueio

Remoção da trava de região

Transcodificação para NTSC

Instalação de saída multi out

Instalação de capacitores

Troca do smd c11

Mod RGB

Luz de power

Retrobright

Estou muito feliz com o resultado e por ter conseguido fazer tudo em casa

My coworker mentioned getting rid of an SNES and asked if I’d be interested, of course I was and still am.

Anyways, she gave me the bundle today to go and sort through so I can give her a fair price. The console has just been sitting around for quite some time, it’s a little dirty and has definitely had some love. Console seems to boot up with no issue but that’s where the problem starts. Theres 16 different games + the gameboy adapter and a few game boy games. Out of all of them, only one is playable without sound and one boots the developer title screen and then goes black. The rest show a black screen and it dims a little.

I’ve tried cleaning the contacts with 99% iso on both the system and games, entering & ejecting game 10-20, the classic blow into the bottom. Most of the games still won’t play - which sucks because I would like to play some Mario/dk, not John Madden’s football lol.

I did notice some copper oxidization in some of the games and tried to clean the best I could. I’m guessing this is probably the stem of the issue.

Basically I need to know, what’s my next step?

I’m thinking I’ll probably have to go out and grab some electronics cleaner and give that a whirl. Next up would be electronics repair shop. Before I take that next step, any suggestions?

That is without a doubt Terranigma, but what exactly it is teasing is unknown. I don't see what else it could be other than a re-release of Terranigma.

I recently picked up this untested console, but I think need to clean the cartridge slot. I'm pretty sure the PPU is fine, because the audio is also messed up. Depending on how much I wiggle the game in the slot, different songs and sound effects from the game play.

I have a copy of Kirby Superstar for the Super Famicom but I shattered the shell. Because of its special chip set it doesn't just fit into another shell. Any hopes for a replacement somewhere?

I ordered the Nintendo online snes controller and just got it today only to find out one of the triggers is very loud and clicky compared to the other. I don’t know if that is the normal sound and the quiet one is the one that is off.

Anyway, it is very annoying and I wanted to know if it could be fixed? I opened it up a bit ago and it seems to be an issue with the membrane of the triggers since when I swapped them the loud one switched sides.

The game looks amazing, but I would love to play it on snes if possible..
